Default Your top 10 cars

The ZR1 thread got me thinking, people started talking about other cars they would like to own.

So, I decided to make a frivolous post—I am asking, if money and garage space were no issue, and you could have 10 cars, any cars you want, but only ten, what would they be?

Here are the rules:

-The list is in no particular order, you have a 10 car garage with 10 doors so you can take anyone out at any time.

-You have an unlimited maintenance budget, so that is not an issue.

-Designate 3 of them as potential daily drivers by putting "DD" after the model.

(The reason I say you have to designate some as a DD is because, I for example would prefer to have a 427 Cobra replica rather than an original because I would love to have it as a potential DD, I'd be afraid to take an original to the grocery store—so you do have to concern yourself with that type of thing)

-They all don't necessarily have to be street legal.


-Please reply in list form so its easy to read.
year, then make then model then preferred ext/int color
(eg. 1996 Porsche 993 coupe Polar Silver/Black DD)


-Just copy and paste the blank list below to get you started:

1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
8)
9)
10)

OK now Im gonna get to thinkin' about mine

Off the top of my head, and figuring we're talking street cars (or light DE type stuff):

1-993 C4S DD (already own) DD
2-RS America (already own)
3-993 RS (or the facsimile I already own)
4-993 GT2
5-964 Cup, or maybe RS
6-'73 RS
7-997 turbo cab DD
8-SC cab (like in 4 cylinder pushrod variety)
9-'68 911L (just because it was Porsche #1 for me when I was 18)
10-'77-8 Scirocco (first car, period, and probably the toughest find 30 years later)

Nostalgia and practicality get more important when you get older, I guess.

If we're including race cars, have to have something of a sports racer in there.
