Powerball $1/2 billion, You hit it, Vette still your top ride?
Powerball is 1/2 billion. If you hit it, would your vette still be your best ride, and what cars would you add to your stable?
My list
Porsche GT2
Land Rover Range Rover
My ZO6, but upgrade to 3LZ.
Lambo Huracan
On list for C8
My math might not be correct, but after taxes and you take the 20 year pay out. That's about $30,000 a day net for the next 20 years, or $900,000/month net. Correct me if I'm wrong.
probably grab one of the carbon 65 editions that are sitting around unsold and wait on ZR-1 or C8. Probably ZR-1.
As much as I would love something really exotic, Ferraris are too high maintenance and hard to find someone to service them, probably the same for Lambos, however, I wouldn't rule anything out.
American muscle all the way !!!-
Callaway ZO6 - top of my heap
Muskrat GT350-R (sounds great)
Challenger Pussycat - and maybe a Demonic tubby just for the 1/4 track
Caddy CTS-V (before they quit selling them) for date night
With that kind of money I would just move up to a fully loaded Z06. Right now its easy to say that is all I need, but in time I am sure I would want to look into getting one of the very high end cars.
Yes we'd keep the C7 and VW as the daily drivers.
Then probably get something inexpensive like this, since the dealership is right down the road, and it would be easy to get the three-year unlimited mileage warranty serviced. They're both pretty quick.
Most of my years growing up, I'd have said a Lamborghini was first on the list, but in more recent years, I think McLaren may have grabbed that top spot.
First step would actually be to find the designer of my next home. Never been a fan of huge mansions since I don't personally need that much room, thus I'd be happy with a 25 car garage with a two bedroom apartment somewhere in the middle.

My C7 Z06 goes up for sale and an Aston Martin and 458 Speciale goes into my new house in Hawaii.

You're too conservative with your numbers...
At $510,000,000/20 years = $25,500,000 per year
$25,500,000/12 months = $2,125,000 per month
Or in other words, you should be able to pay your electricity bills.
If I hit it big I would definitely still own Corvettes, but I would most likely end up buying a brand new one every single year (and probably would have a lot more than just one at a time) It's still the best "exotic" car that you can easily drive across the country and not have a problem finding a dealer in case you run into problems. (and it also won't force you to pull over for gas every 2 hours!) But I would most definitely have a bunch of other cars, number one on my dream list is a Lamborghini Aventador (although there's nothing wrong with the Huracan either!)
