Combinations of cars

So, everyone's thrown down a "what car thread", but I don't think I've seen a "what combination of cars" thread.

Basically the idea is not for one vehicle that does everything, but a combination of two or three that cover all of your bases.

Right now, we're running a Mz5 for grocery-getting/kid-carrying, I have my 5.0 for AX/hooniganism, and my 3rd-gen FSB for towing/hauling/4x4/backup grocery/kid hauler.

Seems like I could have something less beige (as Jalopnik would say) in that last slot, but that's a different thread entirely.

Just curious on your ideal 3-pc combo to cover all the bases. I think mine would be CTS-V Wagon, AE86 GT-S, and a 1st-gen Bronco.

Mine:

'04 2500HD Duramax Crew Cab towing/hauling/all-purpose slut vehicle
'90 911 C2 daily driver
90 E30 chassis NASA GTS-4 race car

1st Gen CRX Si for a toy.

22RE 4WD Toyota Pickup for utility.

Bugeye WRX wagon for family duties.

In an ideal world of course.

Supercharged/V8 Miata and a Turbo Volvo wagon with a hitch for winter/hauling stuff. The only reason I also have a Volvo turbo sedan is because it was $500 and has all the pieces the wagon will eventually need. If I had to have a third I'd go for something vintage for cruise nights and car shows.

I'm pretty pleased with my current stable. 87 Toyota for offroad/camping fun, 91 Miata for backroad fun and a 93 KLR250 for two-wheeled fun. Of course, none of them are good DDs...

Toyota X-Runner
Jeep Cherokee
ST205 Celica GT4

Annnndddd... DONE.

1 Ton dually of indeterminate origin for massive torques/hauling, Volvo 240 wagon for DD..... Mebbe an Evo.

Ford excursion w/diesel for towing, dog hauling and building supplies

993 version of 911 as DD

vintage track car

jeep wrangler for offroading

motorcycle for open air and general bike goodness

challenge car

oops couldn't do it in 3 - good towing traits are exclusive of good offroad traits

LT1 Roadmaster wagon as the hauler, mostly daily hooligan car. I have had some wagons but I have a sedan now. Almost good enough.

Miata for fun, autocross, occassional track day, summer daily driver.

Swift GT track car.

I almost have this going right now.

1994 toyota picker upper- drive to death before it won't smog.

280slc- classic cruiser

2000 buell blastard- daily driver piss of the neighborhood

'03 TDI wagon - daily driver/light hauler

'95 Cummins - back-up driver & heavy hauler - sucks at the first chore; marginal at the 2nd.

I'm still looking for a good car #3...

want/dream:

'73 1800ES resto-mod - DD/fun

'73 Spitfire resto-mod - alt DD/fun

conversion van with camper conversion for camping, light towing and foul weather DD.

bonus non-street car: F500 for auto-x & road racing.

I feel pretty good about the car situation lately.

SSR LS2 speed, can haul a little bit and sounds great with the exhaust.

Mini Cooper S for Fun.

Pruis for work and commuting duties.

Conv. Beetle for the wife to drifve to work.

Hardtail thumper bike built for bar hoping.

.

2005 Saturn Minivan (family hauler, grocery getter, etc)

1993 Jeep Cherokee sport (beater, winter weather mobile ZAV)

1996 Saturn SC2 (gas mileage and autocrosser) I don't own this yet, but I am working on getting one, and I know there are better autocross cars, I just have a "thing" for saturns, I can't explain it.

Right now, I have these:

-2009 WRX 5-door: daily driver, parts hauler, etc.

-1979 Trans Am: old muscle car project that needs lots of work

-another 1979 Trans Am: needs to be sold because its worse off than my other one

-1987 Shelby CSX: in the garage for some winter rust repair and to button up the engine, then it will be my "fun" car until I get tired of it

The plan for me is to sell my 2nd T/A and pick up a vehicle to haul stuff home from Home Depot, do yard work, etc. Right now I have a possible line on an old 1960's Ford station wagon that might be that very vehicle.

2010 Ford Escape Company Car with privilages to drive for personal use.
1990 Miata for autocross and top-down cruising.
1987 BMW 325is setting up for street/track day/fix-roof cruising.

Access to F-I-L's 4.3L GMC Sonoma for light towing.

Jetta wagon 1.8T--dog hauler, tow rig and DD. smart fortwo--city/DD for wife 75 Corvette--towing (yes towing), DD in the Summer, fun/a-x

These are what I have: the following is what I would want.

Chevy Astro with LT1 for hauling/dogs/track accomodations, etc. FIAT 500 ABARTH--DD, fun, a-x, track days 75 Corvette, see above.

Wife can now make her own list!

My reality:

2005 Mazda MPV for hauling groceries and kids
1985 Chevy C-30 Dooley for general towing/hauling duties
1988 Mazda RX-7 Turbo II for playing around

We won't go into my wife's collection.

I laugh at people who seem to get along fine with only one car. That, or secretly envy them, or both.

Bugatti Type 31 as DD when sunny out.

Lotus Super Seven with BDA- 4 when I want to go quick.

1981 Maserati Quattroporte when stepping out with friends or company.

Ferrari P3 for track days.

Huffaker-built rear-engined Mini for Vintage Racing.

Beat-looking '99 Chevy Caprice when I have to go to a major city or high-risk area/parts hauler .

I have a simple, easy list.

Hauling Duties: Kids/Grocery/Family: AutoX/Track Duty:

99 durango dd/ hauler/ tower 86 bmw 325 track car (with towbar. not registered) 96 yamaha seca II (xj600)

need a better daily.... riding a bike sucks in rain and cold!

Ideal 3 car garage would be: 1. Aston Martin Vantage - Gran Touring, daily driver
2. Range Rover supercharged - hauling, towing, bad weather daily driver
3. Caterham/Westfield, some sort of sevenesque car - playtoy/track bitch.

Realistically we have:
1. Mazda3 hatch - practical, reliable daily driver
2. Land Rover Discovery - hauling, towing, bad weather daily
3. Miata - daily driver, track bitch, beater

My hope is to get a 911 for a DD/fun car, 1988 to 1998 Chevrolet full sized truck for truck / bad weather / project nonsense, and then somehow create a way to put highway pegs on my VFR (this won't be remotely easy or look non-garbage but we're talking hopes here) for the times when I can motivate sans cage, which is most of the time currently.

Something possibly smarter than a 911 but more of a project would be to find a rust free 1970 to 1974 Ford Capri (ha ha ha ha) and slide in an LS-type V8 and associated driveline but that would end up being a massive project.

My driveway including wife's drivers has: 2006 MS6 2004 GTO 2005 Elise 1996 4runner 1992 miata(sunburst yellow) 1992 miata(for sale) Pretty satisfied right now to be honest.

I used to have a combination of vehicles just to keep a layering thing going on whenever one of them breaks down, I've pared down due to the economy. I only have two daily drivers: 940 turbo wagon and Ford Sport Track 4x4. I think I still own a 76 Ford Quadravan but I'm not sure lol! I left at a mechanic's shop and its been there forever.

2006-7 Volvo v70r for long distance drives, airport, ikea, groceries, and drift boat towing.

Diesel Ford van with a 4wd conversion set up for extended forays into the open west.

Is an early NA lotus Elise too much to ask? O.K. A mini cooper s would do.
