10-Car Dream Garage
The list must include the following:
-Everyday sedan for commuting and taking the kids to soccer practice.
-SUV for off-roading or comfort or both.
-American Muscle Car
-Supercar
-Reasonably Priced Car (under $18k new, or $15k used)
-Vintage (pre-1980)
The remaining 4 cars can be anything at all. I’ll have my list up in the next few days.
