Dream garage if you could have only four
If you could fill your dream garage:
Up to FOUR cars/trucks you can buy brand-new in the US today At least one has to be street legal (for your daily driver  )You have $1,000,000 USD to spend. All on one or spread out as you wish. What would you buy, and WHY? Pictures are encouraged. Have fun! E |

I'd have to think it over for awhile before I could come up with even one brand new car I'd put in it. I suppose the 2007 Passat wagon I already have would be one. The others? I guess a Boxster so I could have a convertible. I'd rather have 4 old cars.

Great cars, but you missed the "you can buy brand-new in the US today" part

I'm cheap,
An M5 for a daily driver. A 997 GT3 RS for a sports car. A Ford GT (new ones still are in showrooms). And since I'd need a convertible and have so much left to spend, a RR Phaeton Drophead Coupe ($450K!)

McLaren SLR, Carerra 4S (CGT isn't available "brand new" anymore), Ferrari 360 and a Tesla Roadster.
If the budget was $2M it'd be a Bugatti Veyron and three 911s.

Hmm, tough one, but the "NEW" part does make it a lot easier.
Carrera GT (hey, I've got a $mil) Carrera GT3 RS AMG S65 as the family hauler/grocery getter Cayenne Turbo S for whatever I'm not actually sure that would all fit in under a million, but I suspect it would be close. < edit > I think this would fit in the million bucks. $450k $150k $200k $120k and I'd still have money left over for velcro c/f cup holders in the CGT < /edit>
