OP gave you three cars of your choice, but he didn't give you an allowance to keep them alive. 
With these choices most of you will be broke in no time trying to feed and maintain your babies

Cause they're the definition of high maintenance. And, actually, they almost did until the idiot test driver wrecked the only prototype, and then they couldn't afford to build another because they were in the hole already with BMW because of the M1, so our gov. said forget it.

2006 E55 BEAST
1) E55 Estate-- With the extra seats in the trunk
2) SL65BS--- Matte black with everything else matte black... either that or matte white.
3) 997 Turbo Cabrio--- I already have the full on sports car
Realistically though, I don't plan on selling my car-ever-unless it costs too much to maintain. But when I graduate from law school I do want to add another car to the collection. I want to spend around $30k on a 2 door (I already have the perfect 4 door) so I'm thinking of getting a 996 Turbo, but we'll see what happens. If the economy keeps getting Fd I might be able to get a used SL65. With a lot of miles.

Your pretty quick to judge my friend, I'm a young guy with a young family; wife,kid,dog, hopefully another kid in the not so distant future. Ferrari's, Porsche's and Lambo's don't really suit my needs right now.

There is a fundamental problem with a dream garage.
It cannot be a "money no object" type scenario. There has to be a limit to the spend, to make it lets say reasonably accessible / realistic. Sure we all would like Zonda F's and Veyrons etc but honestly how likely is this... with no disrespect to anyone.
Lets face it if it were money no object then 3 cars will not cut it... you would have many more cars than 3.
So let me clarify... if you had $300,000 to spend on cars (at the rrp) , which or what car/s would it/they be? The number of cars may not matter and you dont have to spend it all either....
So a "realistic" garage...
Ill start again...and really it does not change at all.
Porsche '09 997 GT3 $125k(?)
SL65 '05 12k miles $80k
GL420 Merc $50k
Tot ~$255k
The balance i'll keep for mods/insurance and fuel!!!
