Unlimited Budgets...
Here's one for you...
Given an unlimited car purchasing budget and made to choose just ONE car for your daily personal use, what would that choice be?
Bear in mind factors such as reliability, "parking worries," passenger capacity, etc.etc.
I'll start:
I'd probably find a new 2004 Corvette coupe and put on all the mods for as much speed as is practical.
It's common enough that they may not draw too much attention to themselves compared to the super-exotic cars out there. It's only my wife and me now that the kids are grown and gone so all I need is a 2-seater. It's reliable enough to take on cross-country trips with great gas mileage.
How about you? What car would you get with an unlimited budget?

For a daily driver, I would probably get a CTS-V.

My car with a 427, coil over shocks, Z06 sway bars. Thats all I need. Oh and I need Bob to make some 18 x 12 chrome thin spokes to replace my 10.5s. Same size fronts but I want 335s on the back. Thats it, like my stock look on the outside, beast on the inside.
