my dream garage while BEING realistic would be...

1. Mercedes S550 2010 as a nice executive car for long road trips with family.
2. Corvette C6 ZR-1 or a Porsche 997 911 Turbo S.
3. Ford F-150 FX4 crew cab as a daily driver/beater/work horse.

honestly what more can anyone ask for? you have class and luxury with a big body benz. a nice vette or a porsche for some great weekend driving, and a truck, which you can use in everyday situations.... "bought an air compressor? no problem throw it in the back of the truck..." "bought new furniture? sure throw that in the back of the truck." after im done reorganizing my home, i would go out and thrash the city with the Zed R-1 then drive to lake tahoe in my comfy Big Body S.

OK, I have to ask. The 4S instead of the Turbo?

OK, I'm biased since I drive a 996TT

4S vs. Turbo

I prefer sleepers (rather not have the rear spoiler, would delete the model designation) and I don't drive on the autobahn. I would get it loaded with the full leather interior, heated adaptive sport seats, cornering lights and PASM, but probably stick with the manual for fun.
