Dont understand this one, but a 2 car garage is a must. And it must be detached.

Preferably Brunette, must be shorter, and is supportive of mostly everything I/We do.

[Ian]

1. Car: very up in the air right now. pretty much any gen F-body would be fine with me or a foxbody notch....or an 03/04 cobra...or a bunch of other cars that I think are cool. Then I would need a tow rig, probably a new GMC 2500HD. and I'd need a lifted XJ to have fun with in the winter and a completely stock XJ for everyday use.

1.5 Garage: two car attached garage. Also a 5 bay detached with at least 2 lifts. 220V wiring and a compressed air system. It would probably need to be 3 cars deep too if we're making this our dream garage. Heat and AC, running water, some sort of storage area, a cherry picker, a few engine stands, a horizontal and vertical metal band saw, chop saw (already have one, but I'd get a bigger one), a 110 and 220 MIG welder, a 220 TIG welder, a hydraulic tubing bender, quite a few tool boxes and a crap load of tools and machines. I'd also want some sheet metal stuff like an english wheel, a finger brake, planishing hammer, bead roller and a stomp shear. I'd also want I'd also like to have a lot of wood working stuff, like a table saw, band saw, stuff like that.

2. House: two level 3-4 bedroom house with at least 2 full baths, full kitchen, a fireplace would be nice, a finished basement with a bar, pool table, bathroom and a big screen tv. A front porch, a deck out back and an inground pool. preferably on more than an acre of land and in a woodsy area, but not too far from civilization. I think it would be cool if it was a log house, those are sooooo nice!

3. Job: building custom cars, high performance street cars or full on race cars. I'd settle for being a flat rate tech in a high end dealership though.

4. spouse/bf/gf: A girlfriend would be wonderful and eventually I'd like to get married...but not for a while. I prefer brunettes over blondes, I do have a thing for redheads though. Must be smart, caring, funny, trustworth, understanding and above all else, love me for who I am.

5. Vacation: I havent taken a vacation in YEARS! I would be happy just to go south or see what the left coast is like. Of course, there is always Ireland...

6. Residency: NOT New Jersey! I love it here, dont get me wrong, but I dont think I will be able to afford it. I've been thinking about North Carolina for a few months now. Its nice down there, land and taxes are cheap and old cars dont rust. I fail to see a down side.

[79CamaroDiva]

1. Car: One that runs . Right now I'm thinking about buying my friends 99 TA, but not for another year or so. I really don't know what my ideal would be, cause I love trucks too. I'd need to have some combination of f-body and 4x4 like I do now. Preferably both in better shape than they are now.
1. Garage: Ideal would probably be an aluminum building 2 cars wide and 5 deep. I wouldn't fill it up, but like a lot of room to work.
2. House: Nothing McMansion like. Something modest on a lot of land. 3-4 bedrooms, 2 baths or so, at LEAST 10 acres of land, preferably I inherit my grandmothers house and her 500 acres.
3. Job: One where I make 6 figures a year taking pictures or doing something else i love. If I could get paid to race that'd be incredible.
4. Spouse/gf/bf: someone with the same interests as me who can also keep up with my complete randomness and doesnt mind spending every weekend at the races.
5. Vacation: That would vary, I want to see europe, but I love the tropics to scuba dive.
6. Residency: California, but that will probably never happen.

[Teds89IROC]

Car:
Aside from my camaro I would like a caddy CTS for a DD

Garage:
A nice 2 car garage attached to the hous to actually park the DD's and a 4 car garage with a lift in the backyard

House:
Northing ridiculously huge, but something big with a lot of open space. Definitely 2 floors and almost like a "great room" downstairs with a cathedral ceiling, skylights, and a big fireplace. The setting would be on a big piece of property with some woods or trees to keep secluded from neighbors in a quiet town.

Job:
Hopefully accounting will work out for me and I can be happy. I would like to work in a private firm with other accountants and making 6 figures would be nice.

Spouse:
I can't picture spending the rest of my life without being married to Jeanne-Marie

Vacation:
I would like to own a house down at the shore like my parents do now. Someplace to go on weekends and take time off to be enjoy it down there. I would also like to see Italy, Ireland, and Alaska.

Residency:
Not too sure about this. With the way prices are going up here in bergen/passaic county, I'm not sure I'd want to stay in this specific area. NY State is nice and still close. California is always on my mind, but I'd be too far from family and friends.

So, what is your ideal:

1. I think my Monte is a lot of fun. Ideally, it will eventually get a T56 to go along with the 355. My Jeep isn't bad as a daily driver, but I'd love a CTS-V if $$ were no object.

1.5 Something bigger than the one I have now. I can barely fit the car in it, much less attempt to work on it inside. My father-in-law's is a good size. It's 2 cars wide inside, but only a 1.5-car-wide opening.

2. My current house is fine for us, though we may need an addition eventually.

3. Something where I'm my own boss. Maybe a tile installer, or house painter/jack of all trades kinda thing. I'm tired of dealing with rat-bastard kids.

4. My wife is perfect. She's a helluva cook, a great mom, and understands my car hobby (to some extent). I couldn't ask for anything better!

5. Positano, Italy. I love it there! Would love to stay for a month and have someone else pay for it though.

6. If I could transport my house to So. Jersey or Virgina, I would do it in a heartbeat. Taxes are out of control in this area.

[12secondv6]

[camarokev]

I'm doing this because I'm procrastinating at writing a paper that is due today, lol. But yeah- here goes:

1. The Dream Car of all cars- Ferrari Maranello. As far as the ideal car, something that gets me from point a to point b and is FUN to drive. It has to be fun. I'll never buy a car that isn't fun. I don't care what the wifey says.

2. I don't really want or need a house- I think a condo would be superb. Not much upkeep, very little overhead, etc. I'm just not into the family dream of the white picket fence. Two z06's in the lot, in front of our condo, here in Northwestern Jerzey- it wouldnt get better than that.

3. My dream job and what I am aiming for is to be a professor at a University. I'll be graduating in May 07 with my masters and will probably be going to either Rutgers or Princeton *if the grades are good enough* for my phd. So yeah- teaching is the dream. And you get summers off! YEAH!

4. Someone who loves me, for me and all me eccentricities. Height, weight, etc really honestly don't matter to me. I've dated girls of all heights and weights- and the thing I've learned is that in order to live with them and love them for the rest of my life, they are going to need to love me, for me. Oh- and she'd better like camaros!

5. Eh- I'm not a big vacation person. My family has always chosen to go see about 20shows/concerts/broadway in the first few rows a year rather than go on vacations. But, if I had to pick, i'd say a vacation to see Wimbledon in London one summer would be absolutely amazing.

6. Right here in jersey- I already split up with a gf I was in a long distance relationship with because she wanted me to move to arizona. Bleh! What's out there?? I like seeing green in the summer, having all four seasons, and having new york seem as if it is part of my backyard.

[Brando56894]

1. Car- id have to say either a viper or turbo'd 2000+ black red or som ws6
1. Garage- about 3 bays wide and 3 or so deep. enough space to put a lift and a ****load of tools and AC and a heater is a must
2. House- 2 bathrooms, 4-10 bedrooms (depends on how many ppl are living with me), dining room, kitchen, big ass living room, decent size computer room
3. Job-one that doesnt suck or being a Vet
4. girlfriend-nice T&A, cute/beautiful/gorgeous, smart, down to earth, funny, spontaneous, likes the things that i like
5. Vacation-bahamas, hawaii, or some other beautiful place....
6. Residency- some place outside of jersey, namely the mid south (the virginias or carolinas) or the mid-west, some place to chill out and where everyone isnt rushed and isnt an *******

[Ian]

I went back and edited mine to make it more specific.

[Brando56894]

when u said specific, u meant it i like your garage and yea the mid south is awesome, ive been to the country parts of NC and VA/W. VA and absolutely loved it, im like my dad in that sense except less extreme, he wants to live in a cabin in the mountains and be far away from everything else. i need stuff within 10 minutes of me

[Untamed]

1. Car - I want the 88 Trans Am I already have, like new, black and gold. I also want a 77-81 TA, also black and gold.

1.5 Garage - Three car, oversized garage attached to the house. The kind with the 2 car bay and a single car bay which I would use for work in a climate controlled garage. Everything right there and attached to the house so I dont get wet when I need a beer.

2. House - See Residency below.

3. Job - Rich investor in multiple successful companies so that I can live off the interest made in those investments, becoming the international playboy thats currently trapped in a wage slaves body.

4. Spouse/gf/bf - married, 3 kids. Been there, done that, wouldn't recommend it unless you actually find a true soulmate.

5. Vacation - I'd spend 2 months tracing my ancestry starting in Sweden, then Norway, Faroe Islands, Iceland, Greenland then end it in Newfoundland, Canada. Summer festivals, visiting distant relatives, viking sea voyage recreations (from Faroes to Iceland), storytelling, glacier hikes, and so on. Already saving money for this (though my wife thinks Im nuts).

6. Residency - I want that house from Patriot Games: the one in Annapolis, Maryland that overlooks the Bay.
