Right, it’s a standard road trip question, this, coming about two-thirds of the way through day one of the five-day trawl across Europe I’m currently on.
You can have three cars. Any three cars, but only three cars, forever. They always work. They cost you nothing. What are they? It’s a sort-of Desert Island Garage.
I’ve written about this and given my answer before. It changes often, but always includes a Ferrari 250 SWB Competizione, usually a Mercedes G55 AMG (or a Holden Special Vehicles W427), and sometimes a Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0. The latter becomes, depending on the day, an Ariel Nomad, a Porsche 909 Bergspyder, a Porsche 917K or a 1967 Honda RA300 F1 car, or something else absurdly wonderful.
What I haven’t done before, mind, is make this into a survey. I say ‘survey’ as if it’s something scientific, but I asked some people on the internet, and just over 100 answered.
They said all sorts, mostly of impeccable taste and at all ends of the market. But there were trends and, as you’d expect, there were some repeat appearances worth mentioning here. They were: 20 Porsche 911s; 19 Range Rovers, 12 McLaren F1s, 10 Audi RS6s, six Ferrari 458s, five BMW M5s, four Ferrari GTC4/FFs, four McLaren P1s, three Rolls-Royce Wraiths and three Volkswagen Campers. (Plus three Ferrari 250 SWBs, gratifyingly.)

I do love these questions, as
Car 1; Audi RS6 Performance (very practical and very rapid)
Car 2; NSX-R (the noise and the handling)
Car 3; The 1954 Maserati A6GCS Berlinetta I was ogling on the Cartier lawn at Goodwood (no explanation required).

My Dream Garage
A really well specced Porsche Boxster S 987 as a daily driver and bit of fun - I like the look of the 981 model, but don't like the electric steering.
A Bentley Continental GTC for touring and it would probably have to be the W12 speed.
A Ferrari 250 SWB Coupe because it spectacular in every way

OK, my current top three are
1: Ariel Atom 3.5 - For weekend fun, and track days.
2: Telsa Model S P100D - For everyday practicality and cutting off Vauxhall Zafira drivers on my way to work.
3: 2017 Vanquish S - for Grand touring... And I would like to keep it in my living room as an art piece.

I am sure i will change my
An HSV Commodore Estate, the current generation, but pre facelift when it still could be had with a manual box. That will do for the daily duties, and fit almost anything in it.
A C7 Corvette convertible. It looks fantastic, sounds even better. Cant think of anything better when you want the roof down
And a classic, i think a Lamborghini Islero would make up my ideal 3

My Top 3
RS6 - Because it's the perfect day to day wheels
Alfa Romeo Montreal - Because its gorgeous for those occasional great weekends, plus a great investment
Ariel Nomad - Because nobody needs a Nomad, buts its brilliant

It sounds like it thinks about precisely the and-off nature of your relationship. I didn't know whether you implied a carport at home or a business carport and I don't know whether he regularly would be found in a carport however it can be an image for a position of change, best essays, it's between being inside and being outside your home.
