Question of the night: unlimited funds, what would your next car purchase be?

Suppose you win a boatload of money. Money no object, what do you buy to compliment your garage? The obvious catch is that your driveway won’t change size, so it’ll either have to replace something you have, or fill up what space you have left.

For me, I’d probably go with a ZR2 and keep the FiST, since my driveway is big enough. It would be nice to finally have something that can go on the grids, and it’s not oversized like I feel a Raptor would be.

E63S wagon. Replacing the E550.

Behind that would be a Parsh of some sort, then an early 60s Bonneville convertible. 421, trips, 4 on the floor, 8 lug wheels because drum brakes rule.

You’d have to be able to find one to buy. So I’ll assume no museum pieces, anything else would go. It’s your unlimited money.

Plus, I’ve decided that if I want a sporty car, it will probably be a Miata, which I wouldn’t buy with unlimited funds. So instead a tax exempt barge makes more sense.

Your call, but if you don’t have room, you’ve got to sell one of your cars.

We all know the Kia is the one going, by the way.

Considering if the Sebring ever gets replaced it’ll probably be with a Model 3 while  the current 03 7.3 F250 sitting in the driveway.

I think my first move would be to pick up an Alpina B7 (in green) via European delivery for a daily driver. The fleet would expand from there.

FJ for sure. But I think the Jeep would be a little more offroad capable?

Probably, but I probably wouldn’t take it off-road any more than I do my LJ. Soft-roading, not off-roading.

I think a japanese supervan. A hi-ace or a delica would be nice, i wouldnt say no to a cabover camper.

I’d buy a sprinter van, and go insane on camping modifications. Not full overland status, more like week-long camping trip levels. I’m content sleeping in a hammock, so I wouldn’t even need to use any space for a bed. Just a pull-out shade on t he roof f or rain cover if needed. I hate low visibility vehicles, so there would be a 360° birds- ey e view camera setup, a nd an always-on rear view camera on a Tesla sized screen.

Wait, hold up.

I want an E30 M3, an E39 540i wagon with a manual swap, a Mercedes 190E Evo and a V70R with blue paint and orange interior.

If I can only pick one, give me the Benz

I only have one parking space, so I’d have to replace my Kia.

I’d get a Tesla Model S to tide me over until I could replace it with a Porsche Taycan with the same amount of power as the top-end Model S.

My driveway is huge, so if I had unlimited funds that means there could be more purchases, so... I’d stroll in up to the Ram dealer and buy a new Ram 3500 Limited. That would become the tow pig for whatever else comes next.

Fully restored ‘ 71 Datsun 240Z.

OOr a low-mileage manual Mazda Protege5, but I’m not sure if red, black, or yellow.

Or my buddy’s ‘04 Golf TDI, for which I’d pay him WAY more than its worth, but then he and his kids would be set for life and I’d get free beer and grub at his house whenever I want.

I would say McLaren F1, but no way would I feel ok about it being in a garage without serious security.

Sincethis dream machine had to go in my garage... it’s probably not worth more than $200,000... reasonable to keep and maintain... not too intimidating to actually drive...

a replica Shelby Daytona comes to mind. Ok, it’s a bit intimidating, but so very sexy. D id I mention fast? It’s quite fast.

I don’t have garage space, but I do have driveway space. So, either a Huyra coupe Tempesta package, or go full restoration / moderization of my Magnum with 6 speed swap, built motor, nicer interior and better suspension / chassis work.

Interesting question. Currently I have one car a 2011 Camry Le for everything. This includes a 50 mile commute on rough roads with a probably 60/40 mix of city highway. I’d like AWD or 4WD for snow even though I don’t need it. The roads suck so I’d like some ground clearance and nice suspension.

But I’m a really poor college student with two jobs that still barely cover my bills. However this would eliminate my car payment. For this exercise I’m going to ignore insurance. The saved money from the payment can go towards gas so I’d pick up a 2019 Ford F-150 Raptor in Blue with the crew cab like this one.

I’d be comfortable at 6’3” can float over the roads, I’d have a badass rig, be able rip through snow and actually  feel like I have a cool car that others like.
