Default Which additional car would you add - if you could?

I posted this in the C8 section as I have been thinking of what I will do one day when I add another car to the stable.
I'm keeping my M7 Z06 for life (as of now)..LOL

Curious what the rest of the Vette Family thinks. Give it a vote and let me know your thoughts.

Pretty happy with my 19 Z06 M7 Vert and 2023 XT5. Would possibly add a full size so called luxury sedan from Lexus.

If I had the space I'd trade the SQ5 for a pickup and a WRX.

I'd pick up a Ford GT because of this video.

Poll there will lean towards C8, My C7 IS the greatest Corvette ever built. Last new Corvette I will ever own..Most C7 guys I know personally have no interest in new one.. Resto mod on a classic Corvette only avenue for myself

Honest answer: A new Jeep or Ford Bronco.

I'm retired and deep into my seventies. My Z51 M7 was intended to be for long cross country road tips in retirement, with occasional track days for fun and excitement. Its been everything i wanted it to be. AT my age the occasional track days are becoming fewer and the cross country road trips seem far more rewarding. I've hit most of the major national parks on seven annual cross country road trips thus far. Did the PCH last year from Astoria Or to Santa Monica. Have my reservation at Yosemite Valley Lodge for next year. I can no longer walk far enough to experience the back country/ wilderness areas and the Corvette can't take me there. So I need a vehicle with the capability to get me off the pavement and out into ,unspoiled, more natural settings.

Sold my beater when I retired. Just wife and I so have trouble justifying 3 cars in the household.

Not ready to give up the Corvette just yet, But a road trip to Alaska has been steadily rising to the top of my shrinking bucket list.

PS: I've already owned one special car that I would never sell........ Sold it after 11 years for the C7 Corvette.

Well, I already have the two Corvettes I want . . . my 2014 Premiere Edition Convertible (#219 of 550), and my 1962 300hp/4-speed/2-top. If money was no object, the next car in my garage would be the 1933 Duesenberg Model SJ #526 Weymann Torpedo Phaeton.



If there was any room in the garage remaining, I'd also love one of these:

A Mclaren 720s. I would have one right now, but service departments are not reasonably close to me.

I have a '17 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon parked next to the vette. I'd make no changes, except outfit the jeep for overlanding...which i will be doing soon enough.

I'd love to have a 1969 Boss Mustang in my garage and get that long-time dream out of my system. Like I said in the C8 post, I'd almost be willing to trade body parts for it.

Fox body Mustang or 3rd gen Camaro. My dream car is a 1st gen Camaro with an LT engine swap.
