Time to pick your vehicles for when you win Mega Millions and/or Powerball with one catch: you have a $ 1 million cap.* So have at it.

I would start with an Audi S8 Plus, with it’s 605 glorious horses.

Also a Ferrari GTC4 Lusso, Volvo V90 T8 (not the Cross Country, but the non lifted one special ordered from the factory), Alfa Romeo G iulia Q uadrifoglio, MB E63S Estate, and that should be enough.

For now.

* The cap is because you are a good person and you will want to do other things, especially charity and investing, with the rest. Plus we would be here forever.

I will keep the 17 employees at the Ariel Factory busy...I will take the V8 Atom with the big brake package and the Ariel Nomad.

Then I will get a helmet and some goggles...!

Oh man, that’s a biiiig budget.

I would also like a V90 T8

I’d like an SUV, either an Expedition or a Navigator

I’ll also take a convertible, perhaps a BMW Z8

Perhaps the new Bronco when it comes out. Or maybe an Icon Bronco built to my specs.

Something V8... Perhaps an RS5.

I think I’m running out of money.

Chevy SS, Dodge Ram 3500 w/ Cummins, Ford F150 Raptor, Mercedes AMG E63 wagon, Ferrari 488 GTB, any ex-WRC car, and then use the remainin g $4 00k to build a shop and for servicing the Ferrari.

I don’t know what your idea of running out of money is, but you’re not even close yet.

M6 Gran Coupe is better than an S8 and you can find them with a manual.

I’d 100% get both Ariel vehicles. And a Rally Fighter as a DD.

Oh man I almost forgot...I’d also find a square- body dually Suburban and would probably end up buying some pre-war trucks and cars.

I’ll just spend that entire million to restore a Cimarron. Just to watch FP comments burn . Or build my own Youabian Puma.

Oh man I love these. Thanks. Some days I like to think that I would fill a warehouse with dozens of random less-expensive cars. But in reality, I would head over to a few local dealers and just start buying! For instance, my first stop would be Ferrari of Washington and pick something out of inventory. Heck I’d grab this new 488 GTB . New Magnum P.I. style. :)

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

And honestly I’d probably just as soon get a new Ford GT, but this is here, now and in my driveway the week I win Mega Millions.

I would still need a nice daily driver, maybe this RS7 Performance in Nardo Grey . Again, this is off the local dealer lot.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Next, time to upgrade the wife’s GL450 to a GLS550 . Another dealer lot find, obviously with some time I’d get the AMG version.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

That covers daily drivers and a fun exotic and I’m only about halfway where ($530K plus tax and tags).

The rest would come in waves as I found interesting options, some stuff on my radar:

New GT500

Hellcat/Demon

A nicer Wrangler Unlimited than my 2017 Big Bear Edition with dual tops, etc.

Manual CTS-V

Alfa Guila Quadrifoglio

Lexus LC500

Volvo 850 T5R wagon

Tesla Model S P100D

FD RX-7 with Coyote swap (sorry)

Focus RS

R32 and R35 GTR

Viper ACR or Corvette ZR1

That easily fills up the other $500K plus quite a bit more ! Fun drill, hopefully the $30 I played last night comes through with at least a million. :)

V90 T8: $70,000

Navigator: $100,000

Z8: ~$200,000

Bronco: ~$45,000?

RS5: ~$60,000

It seems I’m at $475,000, haha

So... I’ll add an XC90 T8, because why not. Also let’s get on the electric bandwagon with a Model S. Finally I totally forgot that I really really want that new Panamera Hybrid Wagon.

You helped me realize that I should’ve added “a collection of cars bought at roughly 1 per week off of craigslist”

Hopefully a full-time mechanic is part of the rest of my winnings.

Arrivederci > boredalways 10/23/2018 at 09:24

Always fun to think about.

- Audi RS5 Sportback (daily)
- Porsche Cayenne Turbo (wifey)
- Porsche 911 GT3 RS (track car)
- Porsche Boxster Spyder (981) (fun/sunny  car )
- Lamborghini Huracan Performante (exotic)

That totals out to *only* about $730k, so I’d have to do some more damage elsewhere.

I’m going straight for the RR. Add a case of Grey Poupon to wave threateningly at all of the goddam plebeians.

That would be so much fun - driving around in a new Roller waving Grey Poupon at everyone.  Tax the Rich needs to do that, stat.

P orsche P anamera G ran T urismo GTS in Amethys t Metallic as a nice sensible daily. that’ s 165k loaded

A DeTomaso Pantera they seem to be around 130k for a grade A example

A first gen NSX lightly modded 70k

A fully built WRC level Evo 8 or 9. I mean completely competition spec at least 400hp built to take a beating. at least 120k

A Huracan P erformante 250k

A Vette built up like Field’s 150k

A top of th e line Luxo Truck 85k

That gives me 30k to spend on random beaters because they are fun. l ike some 350Zs, and a Fiesta St or two.

you could start a racing series where the competitors have to walk on to a parking lot pick one of the cars, build it in a week and race on Sunday.

that sounds more like a 2003 Discovery channel show than I meant it too.
