Champagne Dreams and Caviar Wishes.... Porsche 911 gonzo model, Porsche Panemera, Mid-engine Vette whenever it shows up, and a Truck to pull my awesome boat... before I realize the boat I'll get is too big to tow and has to be slipped.

How about one of each Corvette generation from C-1 to C-7 (or 8). Oh yea, a garage to put them in.

Yep! A huge garage with a little loft or something. Fully insulated and air conditioned (obviously). Lifts, paint booth, the works. Maybe even a dyno? Nah. But everything else!

Never played the lottery - never will. I understand math...
Way to go there, Debbie Downer. Yeah yeah, it's an idiot tax. We know. But it's fun to think about! You're pretty much paying for the idea of being filthy rich. "If you want to win the lottery, you have to make the money to buy a ticket." The chances of winning are astronomical. Much worse if you don't play.

I'd buy a bunch of old Russian tanks and play bumper cars with them. Maybe a Ferrari or two as well.

Aventador Roadster would be on the turntable that elevates into my living room of my new mansion. Vette would be out front in the circular driveway. The other cars would be in the heated/air conditioned multi car garage adjacent to the man cave / theater area.

I'd buy four more vehicles (not to mention a massive garage overhaul) so I can complete an actual collection of modern day Stunticons. I've already designated my C7 as "Wildrider". Just need the other 4. Old school Transformer fans will know what I'm talking about.

500M? **** I'll have one of every generation and drive one every day of the week.

Also a McLaren, a Ferrari, a Lambo, a new Cayenne to tool around in, a Bentley cuz I'd be a baller, a Koenigsegg, a Tesla cuz its a cool toy, and a raggedy old 70s Ford pickup truck cuz I like to stay on the DL sometimes.

1/2 billion? What's a Vette? Seriously, a Bentley Continental would be good for a start!

1. Ferrari 62/63 250 GTO Berlinetta, maybe another as a parts car. A top flite Ferrari Mechanic, a motor home/toy carrier with driver/chef; then do the Monterrey Motorsports Reunion and other vintage "racing" events by flying in on my uber copter, drive the event and fly off again. meet my driver/mechanic and toys at the next event. If it stays fun, cool. When it gets to be a job, it's crossed off my bucket list.

2. Rent LeMans for a day, bring in an F1 Ferrari trainer, and an F1 Ferrari, vintage preferably. teach me to do laps - cross it off my bucket list

3. Rent Monza for a day, same as 2. drive the high banks - cross it off my bucket list

Ferrari 812 Superfast, but it looks to much like a C7 vette. Call me crazy! But I think the C7 looks better! But I'd have the Ferrari and store it, drive my C7 daily!

Any Vette I may have would be dumped with the swiftness.


Sorry but the Vette would be just dead weight taking up garage space when so many bigger and better things could be had.




First three cars I would buy would be golden trifecta: P1, LaFerrari, and 918.


My DD would be a McLaren 675LT.

I'd make my vette into a dedicated track car.

Then I'd pickup a Carrera GT

It would have to be a stick which eliminates the ilks of Ferrrari, Lambo, etc. So a Aston Martin Vantage V12 would be my choice along with an all original (top flight) 67 427/435 vette convertible.
