Well, today we're talking about our Dream three-car

garage

, which is kind of an absurd concept to begin with, because I think the parameters are: you have infinite money, but for some reason you can only afford a three-car garage, I have to do it , man, and I think these cars are, you have to have them forever. I think you can't. Define them right now. I think there are three cars. You can spend all you want but you can't sell them. They are your only cars. You can't go buy others. There is no street parking. That's your world.

That's a good way to Look at it, okay, this is okay, three cars and that's it, three cars in your

dream

three-car garage with infinite money, okay, okay, why don't you start with your first car? start is something I wanted, if you are only going to have three cards you need to have something that you can use every day properly and something that I really love, a car that I have always loved is the Aston Martin Lagonda taraf, it is a crazy car but I think it's one of the most beautiful four-door cars ever made you'll start with the Lagonda that's your diary that's my diary that's okay in this situation that's my good where does this go from here?

What are the other two? So that's the daily driver. So I want you to know that I am a big Ferrari fan. You know I have a Ferrari. I have always loved Ferraris. So for me, the next car is the last thing. I wanted something incredibly unique. that hasn't been like any other nested Ferrari F50, it's V12 manual transmission convertible, um, I live in southern California, it's like the next car, I really only want that car, so we have Lagonda taraf and an F50, that's okay, and then the number for I think

what

the third car will be is relatively predictable, but for me it's the McLaren F1, which I really think is one of the best of all time, so you accepted this challenge and decided that infinite money It really meant infinite money, not right.

I, let me, let me, let me, let me take out an infinite money parameter, but you, but you still can't afford it, no, okay, let me, oh Lord, let me give you my opinion, okay, that's interesting, please, F50 is great, it's a great choice, no. You want a sports car that you like to use, yeah, one of the things I think about when I drive this car is that there's a lot of pressure, like in your mind you're anxious most of the time, yeah, I mean. And that's a very fair point, obviously the $20 million McLaren F1 car these days is one of the benefits of this particular car and it also translates to the McLaren F1.

I've never driven one, but from everyone I've talked to, it's an incredibly easy to use card, but it doesn't offer that either, but it's worth 30 million. I mean, aren't you worried? But as a parameter you have eliminated money from this equation completely. I know, but you're still afraid if you fail. That car, you'll be ahead of every automatic on the website and on planet Earth, well yes, but the beautiful thing about a McLaren, well, F1, is that no matter how many times you crash, Rowan Atkinson has proven that it doesn't really affect you . It just went crazy, even your diary is like an ultra-low production exotic car.

Yes, does it bother you at all? I can't believe you didn't say Ethernet and five. I thought there was no way you wouldn't have your daily bv395. As? Do you feel bad for the E39 M5 because you've turned your back on it? Has had this car for years. He loves it. He talks all the time about the best car he's ever owned. He bought a Ferrari. Still prefers the E39 M5. It's true. that's very true, so in this case I had to like just disconnect from reality completely. You'd rather have a Lagonda taraf than an E39 M5.

I think the shifter was given a chance to really try. It's like, and all three. Of my cars have 12-cylinder engines, it's like this is the only car you can have forever, you know, 12-cylinder engines are gone, manual transmissions are gone, the trap is not manual, obviously, but, of course, these are for me, you know the idea. This is because they represent cars that are the pinnacle of total freedom,

what

you could have if you were in a

dream

, basically, I almost prefer it to be like a garage from Inception, it's like a dream inside, a dream, a dream inside, as we can. do this and those are the best dreams for me that you would want if not, if 40 no, Enzo, yes, I want manuals and again, the F50 is what I like more than the F40, which I still review, the F40 is one of the big.

One of the all-time greats is the F50. It's like you know, it's so unique. 12 cylinder engine. Central engine. There is nothing like it. Okay, you're not very small. I think you are not wrong. Your day to day surprises me. choice, although I will say that you go from the most beautiful four-door car that includes five to the most beautiful assistant and I think you would end up driving a Lagunitarov 99.9 of the time, yes, I hope it drives very well because I have never done that. I drove one if not, if not, it's fine if you take out a McLaren F1.

The other problem is that you would be inundated with people all the time. See, that's what's not true. If someone who knows the slightest thing about cars. see that car, your life will end, they will come close to you, oh my god. I once saw a video where Mr. jww got into a convoy and drove a McLaren F1 one and they drove a thousand miles on this road. I traveled in this car and one of the things he commented on was driving out of London, you know a place that is known for spotting supercars, like there's a person who has something like an old car, well, even, whatever it looks like that you have.

None right and even Jay Leno is very underrated for what he is and even Jay Leno said like when he drives his own and this was many years ago, but he said you know people come and it's like it's a kit car or some kind. Yeah, no, I think I was in this with him and people would be scared to know that they're next to Jay Lenox and I'm like, but this is something I thought was cool, but they don't understand what you're saying. I'm seeing that's exactly right, so I think that's what you know again, like it scares me when I see you get scared when you see what someone we know does, but the reality of that car is for normal people, I think, they're not into car enthusiasts, okay, they've obviously given us a lot more thought than I have, although I've thought about it over a period of years because all three of my dream cars are garages.

Daily driver. Mercedes-Benz G500 Cabriolet, number one sports car. 2005 Ford GT sports car. car number two, 2005 Porsche Carrera GT, and I solved the three-car garage problem, you've been able to go out and catch up with some of these guys, but like really Money No Object, that's where you draw the line, it's like the G Cab I think it's not realistic. I love that car, but long trips get tiring. It's heavy. Is noisy. Oh yeah. I'm very familiar with how hard the drop is when you're on the highway. Also, it's a car from its Okay, but I guess a new G-Wagon, so a new G Cab is a new g-cam like you can get up, no, no, I would just buy a new G, actually I wouldn't even I would buy a new GN because I don't have lane assist, so what I would get, I mean, okay, 2022 Mercedes-Benz E450 all-terrain, well, it's an adventurous choice, thanks for taking the plunge for all of us, unlimited money, okay, you're right, but I really want it. this car, yes, that would be in the dream.

Driving, I can't blame you for that, of course, it's the F50 in the garage of my dreams, but let me ask you a question so you know we've had this car for a long time. recently and you still have the Ford GT and you still have the G Cab, right? Driving this car, although with the Ford GT, doesn't it take away a bit of the shine, the 4GT is definitely not as special as before? it was eight weeks ago in my life right now that's it but it's usable this is what no one knows this about the 4GT it never scuffs anywhere the bottom never scuffs anything no matter how crazy the driveway is it's incredibly reliable I got it It broke down like the first week I bought it and it was five years ago and it hasn't had a problem since and I drive it everywhere and it's usable.

I sit in it. I'm tall, I don't have any problem with that. I really think it's the most usable reliable iconic car of all time and in my mind that means, yes, what I like in a short 50, but come on, that's an F1 powertrain, we know how expensive it is to run again , you have to eliminate costs, but like Okay, either way, I still have to take it to a Ferrari from God knows where who will work on an F50, right? And they'll have to spend seven years tearing it apart trying to fix any breaks. There's that famous story about that. where they had to remove the engine, send it to Italy for everyone, it disappeared forever, that's true, that's the problem because money is no problem, but in my scenario in which I am now evolving, the annoyance is still real, yeah, I can absolutely understand that, but I mean, you know, not that these cars aren't annoying either, but this car in the 4GT, the reason I've always liked buying supercars, I bought two from manufacturers of cars that make normal cars is that they like to test them. and they work and they say yes this car is very expensive to own but if you stay on top of the maintenance you won't run into weird repairs and that's also true with the Ford GT and I just want the cars to be usable and I worry that when your 4G McLaren team or in your garage F-150 McLaren F1 you wake up and say I don't want to drive an F50 today, it's hard and it's carbon, and you hear and you feel. everything and you can't put a roof on that car, it's raining today.

At my previous job I worked at an exotic car dealership and I actually put the roof on and off an F50 before and it's a three-person job. and it takes a long time, that's very true, true, um, but it's the ultimate for me as a Ferrari fan, that's the peak, that's the peak, you're right. I agree to some extent and also for the reasons you mentioned. I think compared to other cars like the McLaren F1 it's amazing, it's designed to be a usable car, it was designed to be the ultimate road car so you can generally put luggage in it and so there are uses.

Can I put skis on it? Well, no, um, but I live in San Diego, I don't really go skiing, so it's like and, but there is in terms of maintenance, as you know, it's another maintenance intensive car, you have to send it in. to Philadelphia for service because there's a guy who works on it, um, that's true, and the Aston Martin, which is like God knows, you can only imagine, but it's proven, like I've already proven it. I am a maintenance masochist. I have a 35595, so I do it. you have a better, you have a rational, you said you prepared a rational dream garage for three cars too like in a world where it could actually happen, it's not like I'm going to get an F1 declared as one of my three because come on take this hypothetical and make it even more ridiculous now it's hypothetical, but you would just have infinite money in a hypothetical right and these, of course, like you said, I'm going to use more realistically what you would have if you had it.

I don't know what your number is, you already have it, so yeah, I picked three again to keep it nice, so what about what dollar, oh, what dollar amount, um for the three, um, about 200,000 200,000 in total for the three of us, yeah, oh? Wow, this is good, what do you say? Yes, I like affordable cars, so to your point, the E39 M5 is on this list. I still feel like it's my favorite car, hands down, it does so many wonderful things and I really love it. It's my favorite car, that question, but I didn't put it in the original three-car dream garage.

Yes I apologize to the M5 39 but okay what are the others? What are sports cars? So that's very predictable to me. So Ferrari 50 550. Maranello again is similar to the E39 in many ways as it is designed to be used with a lot of manual transmission but you know it as the Ferrari flash and you know you get the click with the shifter and I think the 550 en One of Ferrari's most attractive cars, especially from that era. Very analog, very special. Yes, and this last one will surprise you a little, but II would like an SUV of some kind if it were like that and I always have.

I loved the Toyota 70 series. The Land Cruiser 70 series. I spent time with one in southern Africa when I was there for a month and I drove a lot and loved it, so you would only have one sports car and this one, I guess, is Ethernet and five with a manual and a V8. Right for how I like to use cars again. This is specific to me and how I like it. I drive and I like it, I like cars with great torque and power, and I like the car, and that's where those two fit perfectly together for me, right, interesting, interesting, I think that's reasonable, don't you think you'd get tired of driving? 70 centers around, yes, but like the goal of that course, they can take me to places that the other two don't really like.

Those two can take me pretty much anywhere, but I can't get off the road in California and I like to see a lot. of beautiful nature that we have here and I want something like that so that you can go anywhere, in one you can have a practical car in the other and in the third you have a sports car, a sports car, but also a great tour, it's like a good match at that point i realized your f-355 is not on the correct list so some reasons well yes there are numerous reasons but like you i have chased a few of these cars and the 355 has been the car of my dreams. since I was 10 years old.

And since I've been looking for this car and now have it, the reality of owning it is different than I expected in some ways, there are a couple of different ways, so on the one hand, the way it drives has some surprises. some positives some negatives let's skip ahead where is the car currently? The car is currently in the shop where the three five five ends for an extended period of time and I don't know when it will become clear again which one is also part of How long have you had it? I've had it since January so now it's about two months and how long has it been in the store during this.

How many visits have you had? So you've had two visits. Now I admit that I have. I did 800 miles in that time and by the time I did it many times, you were able to get 800 miles out of the car, which is a lot. I mean, there are a lot of 355s that don't drive like this in a year. or two years, so that's a lot, they are in the workshop because they are in the workshop, you will come to my workshop, Luigi, just take a good audio for the car, do you think the 550 will be better known for the 550? being more alive, it's more useful, that's for sure, the engine doesn't go out, you know, it has fewer problems than the 355, but it's a very different car, so the 355 offers the essence of The Ferrari experience sounds great, it's It looks amazing, but the 550 is a bit more solid, was designed to be more usable and was actually designed to go against the reputation that the 355 and previous Ferraris had earned for the game because it replaced the Testarossa. cars and it was a totally different feeling, absolutely it was more like a grown-up and buttoned-up car than the test for us, well Luke wanted customers to be able to use this car, yeah, and you know, as others have said, it's a car Incredibly usable, yes.

Yeah, yeah, okay, that's a pretty reasonable garage for three cars. You know you're only going to drive the '70s series. Well, that's not true. You should drive the M5 a lot, so yeah, it hasn't had that many problems. No, although the way we met broke down and that's how you remembered me, so you know, again it hasn't, but not in a long time that car has been very reliable for me, very reliable, um, okay then. How about you? I just put together a three-car dream garage and that's the three cars I have and that's not going to sound very inventive, but it's how I've dreamed and here we are and you've lived, do you have anything on the NSA?

Great, I wish this was a four car garage. I wish I had created the parameters. I wish I had created a four car garage setting. Oh wow, what last car would you add to your multi-million Dollar Dream garage? I really don't. It's probably hard to, well, you know, maybe you slide an E39 M5 in there, I guess, but I don't really like it, but it's very hard to boil it down to just those three because it's very hard to separate yourself. I know well, I have given you another one. I know it's very difficult to add another one to that list.

Honestly, it would probably be something like I don't know, it would probably be like a 200 series Land Cruiser, honestly, really. Giving you some more money is no problem because, as you said, I need something, if you are going to give me a quarter, I would like someone to drive the Lagonda tour out of there, that is a great question. Special occasions. I went out to dinner. I guess I don't know. I would. It would take more people. Can't. It would be a special occasion when you drove. I can bring another person. F1. You know. Two people in F11. the F50 is nice to be able to take three people somewhere.

I would put an F40 as my fourth really, yes, yes, that's what I mean, but maybe I'm not dreaming big enough, maybe you're right, that's how we can add the Sultan of Brunei's cars. I really want a Bentley Dominator. I knew you were going to opt for the Dominator and the unique examples of salt every night, but of course, why not the Aston Martin bulldog? There are atrocious cars that the sultan has and I want them all, oh, maybe, oh, now that you brought. that on the Bentley Java maybe 456 Venice 456 Venice isn't stupid, it's a big screw, the Lagonda Tara, yeah, maybe I should have changed that there, can you get a 456 breather?

How many did they make? Some of them are out, so there is a type. in California some of them are out there, yeah I have no idea what they transact for. I'm sure it's ridiculous because there are so few of them and wait, I want to change, can we have the same cars? I want to trade in my G Cab for a 456. today, wow, I really don't, no, I really don't want everything old. I want something with autonomous driver assistance. I'm told that the 456 is an old car these days and, in particular, not a particularly reliable Ferrari.

It's also true, but money is No. Object like you, that's right and inconvenient, so it would be your daily use, so you don't want it, you don't really need it to break down all the time, yes, it would be nice, It would be an Acura SLX, maybe a Hyundai Veracruz, okay. Well that's our Dream three car garages, thanks for watching everyone Canon, it's a pleasure, now we will come to you with another video next week, we will film it completely differently, we will wear different clothes that we didn't film. these back to back goodbye
