Pretend you’ve been given $300,000 and you’ve got to buy 6 cars. No more, no less. New or used. What do you get?

I’d go for:

Mercedes GL350 ~$80k

Mini Cooper S ~$30k

Ford F-150 ~$60k

Jeep Wrangler ~$35k

Audi S5 ~$60k

im not sure what to do for the last one so I’ll put this in as a DD/wild card:

Subaru Forester XT ~$30k

I generally like new cars (because only owner and warranty), but feel free to pick used ones.

Before I even wrote this I knew you'd pick an ML/GLE and a 3er. I was surprised by your choice of the Q3 though.

If I had another $100K and 2 more cars, ND Miata ($35k), and a Ford Transit 350 XLT with all the fixin’s ($55k). Another additional $100k and another 2 more cars, a 2017 F-350 Super Duty Lariat FX4 ($70k-ish) and a Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring AWD ($35k). The extra $5k leftover would go into getting a newer, nicer Raptor.

Lmao! I ask this exact question every time someone does an AMA, because I have a 6-car fleet worth roughly 300 grand, and I like to see how peoples’ answers stack up to my real life choices. So here’s how I put my money where my mouth is with regards to your question:

Then, an NA1 NSX. ~$40k.

Brand new Dodge Viper. $87k MSRP.

Exactly $300k. lol

The HPD one is actually pretty good and I don't mind how it looks (I wouldn't buy one though).

I expected no less, Rolland.

If we got the Ute here it would replace the S5 on my list.

I just realized I did 7 instead of 6. Let’s knock that C10 off the list and swap a 440 into that Charger.

2014 - McLaren MP4-12c Spider = $209,989.00

2016 Ford Focus RS = $35700

2016 Volvo XC90 T6 R-Design (for the wife) = $54281

I’m cheating because I am counting my FoST, Land Rover Discovery, and bicycle as the rest of my garage count.
