    I'd like some feedback and advice on my current garage and what changes I might consider in the future with the following criteria:

    1. No single car can cost more than $300k.
    2. I cannot have more than 3 cars in my garage
    3. One of the three needs to be a more "practical" daily driver with a back seat, even if it's small like the 911.
    4. A good sounding car is more important than the fastest car (I don't like hybrids or electric cars and I don't mind adding an exhaust), although speed is still important.
    5. Each car needs to offer a unique experience (i.e. I don't want two twin turbo V8s for example).

    My current garage is:

    1. 2020 Huracan Evo Spyder (awd)
    2. 2020 992.1 Carrera 4s (daily driver)
    3. 1997 Ferrari 355 spider (gated manual)

    I love all three cars and they are so different, but I would love to add a McLaren 720s or 750s or something else that has more sheer speed. Thinking the 750s is the better choice but need the prices to come down a bit. However, I would need to sell / trade in one of these cars before purchasing one....

    Thoughts on my current garage and any improvements / changes that you would recommend?

    I’m assuming you don’t really need a practical car… these are all effectively two seaters with limited boot space.

    Unless you’re set on a McLaren and really need more power, my preference would be to look for something distinctive and more classic. You could go for a Porsche 964 Turbo 3.6. Less modern computer bits and more old school driving. The earlier 911 Turbos are blue chip and serious classics now, but you may not enjoy the idiosyncratic power curve and ergonomics.

    I would keep the 355 if you have it sorted, and the 992.1, as a fast, dependable daily driver.

    I’m biased towards classic (ok older…) sports cars. Your tastes may differ etc.

    Yeah I love the 355 and 992.1 but I would have to say of the three cars my favorite is the Huracan Evo. It's just such an exciting and crazy experience every time I drive it. This is why I have a dilemma - is my 3 car garage already as good as it gets given my criteria?

    Can you even buy one for $300k?

    As for your garage, it can use an upgrade....and I'm talking about the garage not just the cars. It looks like a 3rd world shanty (just like mine but I can't afford to spiffy it up).

    Honestly, I would sell the boring Porsche and go cheaper on a daily and park it outside. Also either sell the 355 and get a 750s or keep it and get a 720s (the financials should be about even)

    Good points on the cars and garage haha. This is a 3rd home so it's not our main house but I keep the cars here because the weather is better. I'll have to think about this. So you think getting a 720s or 750s would be worth the hassle?

    Based on your criteria and current stable doubt a Porsche 964 turbo fits your needs. Owned 3 930s all ROW Porsches. ‘75, ‘78 and ‘85 930S flachbau. All amazing drives!
    Keep the F355(future classic) and the Evo.
    Sell or trade the C4s for a 992.1 turbo S. All the performance of the McLaren in a car you can daily and get serviced.

    Yes, I would love to have either if I could swing it. Having one of those plus your Huracan makes for a great modern pair.

    Can you elaborate? Both are twin turbo v8 with over 700 hp. Both have similar performance. Both don’t sound very good.

    If you are going to keep timeless cars like the 355 (and others) you need to make sure you have temp/humidity control in there which is not visible in your photo. April Aire dehumidifiers and AC/heating of your choice!
