When I asked you all to tell me your ideal two-car garage “solution” earlier this week, I certainly didn’t expect to be quite as overwhelmed with differing responses as I was. I guess when you ask car enthusiasts to talk about their favorite cars, they’ll just jump with joy at the opportunity. I get it. I’m just like you. We’re built from the same stuff. After sifting through hundreds of your two-car solutions, I have determined that these are a few of the very best suggestions.

I bought both of the terrible little machines in the header photo for one fifth of the suggested $100,000 budget (and less than the motorcycle in the corner) and they both make me laugh so much every time I drive them. Great cars. Great value. Great two-car solution.

The E91 is an auto and mostly commuter in heavy traffic, the Mustang is a manual and mostly autocross/track/fun but capable of driving to work on occasion.

Had my perfect 2-car garage like 18 years ago with a NB Miata and a Subaru Legacy GT, both bought new for ~$50k. Nowadays I have a 3-car garage fileled with less-satisfying vehicles. What happened?!

Prius Isn’t Slowest on Track - SurPrius! - Absurd Project | Everyday Driver

When I dream, I dream small. Being overly pragmatic I really don’t like showy cars that make some kind of statement about me. Even if I had the full $100k, I would keep it simple with a Toyota one-two: a GR86 for the weekends and a Prius for, well, everything else. Is there a sportier and more luxurious option I could squeeze into that budget, like a gently used Supra and Lexus ES hybrid? Probably. But I like to fly under the radar, and the former option is just what I realistically need without any excess.

Whoops! Glossed over the <$100k budget suggestion. In that case, you can pick up a previous gen, lower spec, L405 with some miles in the $50-60k range and a 997 cab for $40-50k. Would still get you the practical, luxurious daily driver, and the fun weekend toy. Your maintenance expenses might be astronomical... but we’re all diy enthusiasts, right?

I’m pretty pleased with my setup now, though I do care deeply about both cars and try to keep them as nice as possible. It would be nice if one of them was more of a “beater” but I just like these 2 [being a Mk7 Volkswagen GTI and an Audi RS3] too much lol.
