What to do with this space???
I know what the answer is-
but I'm curious as to the Pelican collective's thoughts. Previously was occupied by a "Nutmeg Brown Metallic" 1985 Carrera. Discuss....

Totally love that idea!
But... Still have kids that like to be in a back seat. |

Nice garage, btw, well organized. You clearly are an engineer of some kind. Onewhippedpuppy got me started on Jeeps. I love the 560 but need a DD when I am home.

Jeep is a good idea.
I picked this one up for family cruises around the lake.

Well, since you need the back seat and it has to fit through that garage door:
Panamera (am guessing you're looking for a 911 replacement) Tesla Model 3 (or something more exciting but not that awful SUV thing) Audi A4/A6 Avant |

The only difference is, the car won't collect dust.

Two very good options Spring to mind immediately. 1) A 2012 or later Mercedes E550. This is the first year of the huge V8 turbo and reportedly does 0-60 in about 4.2 seconds but toddles around town like a kitten. 2) 2014 or later BMW 550. This was a mid-cycle refresh and the 550 got about 40 more ponies that really woke up the engine. I don't know which is faster but both are quite comfortable and are surprisingly competent even on drivers ed days. Both have a reputation for reliability. Yes, both are reliable. The Mercedes is particularly good. You can fit six footers in the back seats. It theyir knees hit if you move the driver's seat too far back. The Mercedes has a bit more room than the BMW.

Still have kids? Live in WI? Hmmm, I suggest a small boat trailer and multiple canoes or sailing dinghies.

There is a H1 American General Humvee/Hummer at the local car dealership.
Think it is too big for your space though.  They parked it right on the corner to draw the road flies in.
