    If money were no object and I had the space/time to use them:

    1. 2023 Dodge Challenger R/T with the 5.7 6 speed. Add the packages below. I've wanted a challenger since they first reintroduced them, but it's never been practical.
      • upload_2023-5-21_14-42-43.jpg
    2. 2023 Ford F250 Lariat Sport in Star White Metallic with Black appearance package and the 7.3L gasser. For HD work like towing.
    3. Classic Jeep Truck like this. Looks cool, and would be simple enough to keep alive in the apocalypse. :nuclear:
      • [​IMG]
    4. 2023 Kia Telluride SX Prestige X-Pro in Glacial White Pearl with black interior. A luxurious usable 3rd row road trip vehicle.
    5. 2023 Toyota Supra 3.0 with an automatic (I know, heresy) so I would have a fun car that wasn't a stick. Back/hip injury make it so I can only drive a manual for so long.

    5 vehicles …
    1) My new ‘22 Taco
    2) A second older pick-up (Tacoma, Tundra, anything really). It can do all the dirty work so I can baby my new Taco.
    3) Sienna - great for people hauling so they stay out of my Taco.
    4) New sports car - maybe a Porsche 911.
    5) An old classic - 1964 Mustang 289 or 1965 Shelby GT 350.

    1. 2007 C6 Corvette - specifically the exact one I learned to drive in and fell in love with - would give anything to have that car sitting next to my Taco
    2. '14-15 Camaro SS 1LE - have always loved muscle cars and this is the epitome of modern ones in my opinion + it was the star of one of my all-time favorite shows (Hawaii Five-0)
    3. Ferrari 308 GTS QV - perfect balance of simple, analog Italian experience without being too old or expensive + Magnum P.I.
    4. '13 MP4-12C Spyder - the car that started me on my love of cars when I was 8

    If money was no restraint I'd build my own factory and employe some engineers to make what ever I can dream up work.

    Something like this would do nicely, I'd have to expand the garage though. You said money is no object, I could roll that into the budget. (Inkas Huron APC, 10 speed manual transmission)

    That would only work if I could mount a dual 30 or 50 cal on the top. Even better would be a M-134 Minigun. Would need it for the Zombie end of the world shit.
