Hmm.<\/p>\n

My real world two car garage exists, but only has one car, a bunch of bikes and some yard tools.<\/p>\n

My ideal real world two car garage right now would basically be a big car and a little car on a teacher budget. When I’m feeling adventurous, this would be, like a Sequoia and a Miata. When I’m feeling economical, this would be a minivan and a Nissan Leaf. Deal hunting all around.<\/p>\n

My $300,000 garage is surprisingly tricky, most of what I actually want isn’t expensive enough to fill the $300,000. But, since this is for science, I’ll try. Here are some ideas:<\/p>\n

Ultimate comfort:<\/p>\n

Lexus LS 500h & Range Rover Long Wheelbase Autobiography<\/p>\n

Adventuretime:<\/p>\n

Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid & 4×4 Sprinter Spotsmobile Conversion<\/p>\n

Eco speed:<\/p>\n

Rivian RS1 & Porsche Taycan<\/p>\n

Dino Speed:<\/p>\n

Raptor R & Ferrari FF GT AWD<\/p>\n

Old School Fun:<\/p>\n

1956 Chevy Nomad Restomod & 63 Vette Splitback<\/p>\n

Hipster Cred:<\/p>\n

Mint Brown Manual Volvo Wagon w\/ V8 Engine Swap a la Paul Newman & VW Vanagon Westfalia Synchro w\/ Subie Swap from an STI.<\/p>\n

What I’d likely do:<\/p>\n

4×4 Sportsmobile Conversion & Rav4 Prime<\/p>\n

In each case, assume that I’m optioning them to the full potential and\/or sourcing high quality parts\/labor.<\/p>\n

Of course, what I’d really want to do, is buy literally whatever I can turn around and immediately sell for $300,000. Then pay off my house, buy a base Sienna Hybrid with roof racks, a titanium mountain bike, a decent used Miata, a hand built lugged steel touring bike, a canoe, probably a bunch of weird\/fun cheap bikes, and a nice dinner .<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Weirdisgood went a different route: Rather than picking two cars to cover every base, they listed two options <\/em>for each need. After all, why not double down on your automotive tastes?<\/p>\n
