As car enthusiasts, we have all made a list at some point as to what we'd want in our dream garage. But what if you stumbled across a list of the cars you wanted from 10 years ago? Would you still agree with yourself? Would you have checked some of the cars off the list? In this episode, Todd comes across his 2015 dream garage and he and Sylas go through the list to see if it still holds up.
