Dream Garage? Whats in yours?
Couple more pics:
Considering how badly the fiberglass splitter went to **** last season because the gritty material underneath would catch the pavement when not careful enough and just crumble away, I replaced it after only two months of abuse with a new one. They also wrapped it in vinyl, and I figured I would wrap the edge of the splitter with black door edge trim, this way if it hits the ground, it hits the vinyl trim on the edge, somewhat protecting the splitter. The plus to it is it also matches the diffuser in back because Lotus wrapped the edge of the diffuser in a door edge-like trim too, so it works well together, I think. It would have been nice if it was a matte black too, but this was all I can find:

I can't really think of anything else I would really need... I'm sure I will at some point, but that would do for me if I could.

1. 1969 Datsun 510, sr20det swap, suspension, brakes, etc.
2. 1969 Nissan Skyline GTR
3. 1969 Camaro SS, resto-mod, ls2/t-56 swap
4. 1965 Chevelle SS resto-mod ls2/t-56 swap
5. E30 m3 Evo
6. E30 m3 w/ s54 swap, heavily modded
7. 1973 BMW 2002 turbo
8. Austin Mini w/ vtec awd swap, heavily modded
9. Porsche 997 GT3 RS
10. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport
11. Porsche 997 turbo
12. Maserati quattroporte
13. Ariel atom v8
14. Pagani Zonda R
15. Some sort of black smoke blowing, watermelon size turbo, huge tire,
4 door, long bed, diesel truck that can run 11's and tow all my toys around.
It was tough to keep it to 15 and impossible to stop at only 10. I'm sure there would be some that would rotate in and out of my ownership. There would definitely be a lot of relatively inexpensive cars (compared to the rest of the garage) that would be fun projects that would be sold shortly after I completed them and lost interest.

No dream, just constant hassle of moving Minimis and Big Orange in and out of the wash bay.

This - a 1963 Pontiac Catalina that my father bought new and let me take to my junior prom back in 1968. My father passed away in 2000 and left it to me. It still runs strong and my son is next in line for it.

1) My MINI would be parked in my dream garage. 
So tired of parking on the street.
2) A loaded spice orange R57 for the girlfriend.
And that's really it. Doesn't take much to make me happy.
