Note: There's an updated version of this list here.
Every once in a while I'll mention my fantasy garage, the collection of vehicles I'd own if I ever found myself suddenly a billionaire, and every once in a while someone asks me what they all are. Here's the list as of today. My criteria are simple. They are vehicles that I find interesting or beautiful, that are often a bit unusual, and that I would enjoy showing up with at a car show. It's heavy on European cars, and betrays my fascination with the automobiles of the Soviet bloc. If I have a choice between a common version and one you don't often see or hear about, I've chosen the rarer one (hence the Steyr-Puch 500 instead of the Fiat 500). Anyway, here you go:
