Cars you would buy if you were uber rich

Falcon1Falcon1 Elite Ranger
in Zocalo v2.0
Ok all this talk of cars has had me mulling over my list of dream cars, ones I'd buy if I hit the big jackpot :) So here's the list:

1. VW Mk1 Golf GTi (original unmolested)
2. VW Mk1 GTi (track day car, stripped out and tunned to the nuts)
3. VW Corrado Storm VR6
4. VW Mk3 Golf VR6
5. VW Mk5 Golf R32
6. Audi RS4 Quattro
7. BMW M5 (the new one)
8. Ferrari 456GT
9. Porsche 911
10. Bugatti Veyron (oh yeah baby!!!)
11. Dodge Charger (1968 one)
12. Ford Mustang GT-390 fastback (yes the Bullit one)

Ok thats it I think... think I'd need a rather large garage plus a rather large lottery win to tax/insure/fuel that lot :D

    1957 Chevrolette Corvette, black with white leather seats

    i'll even get a drivers license if i can afford that car :p
  • SeafroggysSeafroggys Ranger
    I'd get a FUel Cell Car and enough Fuel Cells to last a decade (depending on their shelf longevity).
  • ShadowDancerShadowDancer When I say, "Why aye, gadgie," in my heart I say, "Och aye, laddie." London, UK
    I would love an Aston Martin, maybe a Vanquish, Vantage or a DB9. Probably the vanquish or DB9 actually
  • SpiritOneSpiritOne Magneto ABQ NM
    1969 Chevy Camaro SS Convertible (classic American Muscle at the height of its power)
    1934 Rolls Royce Phantom II Touring Car (style, when style was hip)
    1999 Dodge Viper Venom (800 horses of fun)
    and probably, a new Nissan Titan. I love my truck =)

    Falcon, the new M5 is a pile of crap. An awful car. If you want an M5, at least go for a real beast of a family sedan: The 2001 E39 M5 in forest green with a charcoal interior.

    As far as my list goes...it's not so special.

    No particular order
    1971 Volvo P1800ES
    1971 Plymouth Hemi Cuda
    1964 Lincoln Continental
    1976 Cadillac Fleetwood 500 w/EFI
    1996 Nissan 300ZX (Z32)
    1969 Dodge Charger
    2001 Audi RS6 Avante
    E39 BMW M5 Touring
    GM EV1

    Oh, I bet there are so many more that escape me right now.

  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    1. GM Skateboard
    2. Toyota PM

    There are no other options.
  • ShadowDancerShadowDancer When I say, "Why aye, gadgie," in my heart I say, "Och aye, laddie." London, UK
    RC: a space shuttle?!?

    Arsed with that! For that sort of money I'd fund development of an X-wing! You'd get betting mileage out of it for starters!
  • Random ChaosRandom Chaos Actually Carefully-selected Order in disguise
    SD: the thread asked what you'd buy, not what you'd build :)
  • TycoTyco Ranger Texas
    2008 Ford F-450 XLT Dually.

    Doesn't take much to please me... just big trucks.
  • croxiscroxis I am the walrus
    I'd take a GM skateboard too.
  • JackNJackN <font color=#99FF99>Lightwave Alien</font>
    Upon winning life changing money, I 'd get:

    H1 Hum-vee

    a helicopter

    much more acreage!
  • Space GhostSpace Ghost Elite Ranger
    1969 Pontiac GTO Judge
    1950s era Cadillac Convertible
    2007 Cadillac XLR-V

    And many, many others... :)
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    I'm going to add to my list...

    2007 Pontiac GTO w/ Hood Scoop Delete & Supercharger
    2007 Cadillac CTS-V
    2009 Volvo C30 T5 (wish there was an R...)
    2009 Ford Flex (So kill me, I like it and wish that it were only RWD)
    2009/2010 Dodge Challenger R/T
  • sinclairsinclair Ranger
    I'd buy quite a few hybrid cars and donate them free for people who are willing to scrap their old, polluting vehicles.
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    Hmm, Id like:
    A crown Victoria
    A Smart Roadster
    some kind of WW2 Halftrack
    and a trabant
  • HuntSmackerHuntSmacker Firstones Ambassador to Starcraftia
    Anything that seriously abuses the environment will do. Receiving hurls of abuse is my long term goal.
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    Is the Smart Roadster on there to offset the Crown Vic's V8? ;)

    Also, as the owner of a 196 Crown Victoria, I have to say...I'd probably never buy a new one unless I wanted to be completely detached from all that surrounds me. It's like I'm not actually driving, but floating slightly above the ground in a steel cage that I only have a slight form of control over the direction of :p
  • FreejackFreejack Jake the Not-so-Wise
    Only two cars that I would buy:

    Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500
    Ford RS200 EVO

    Jake
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    Something like that Sanfam..
    Parking a smart in town is free here.. Pretty nice.. ;)

    Also, what you said only makes me want a crown vic even more. :p

    end of story.
  • Entil'ZhaEntil'Zha I see famous people
    there are plenty of cars that it would a hoot to own, but i think i left drooling over expensive cars in my youth, what i would like though, is a decent Luxury car, maybe a Lexus or an Infinity, My grandmother has always driven whatever top of the line Lincoln Towncar that's out, and i'll tell you, they don't call them Luxury cars for no reason.
  • JackNJackN <font color=#99FF99>Lightwave Alien</font>
    If wishes were dollars, I'd have an electric 6WD with independant stearing running on Hydrogen Fuel Cells, Solar Cells, and gel batteries.

    :D
  • Entil'ZhaEntil'Zha I see famous people
    If i was going for gas mileage, and wishes were dollars... I'd take a car that runs on Bullshit.
  • Space GhostSpace Ghost Elite Ranger
    If wishes were dollars, [i][b]I'd[/b][/i] have a Galaxy Class starship. ;)

    Then again, I'd settle for a car that got, oh, 200 miles to the gallon.
  • SeafroggysSeafroggys Ranger
    I'd get an old school bus and mod it so it looked like a giant penguin
  • Vorlons in my HeadVorlons in my Head The Vorlons told me to.
    Man you all set your sights so low. If I were ubber rich and money was no object there would only be 7 choices. Those would be 7 Ferrari's. One for every day of the week. Doesn't really matter what model. A 360, maybe an Enzo, or a 456. More realistically though, maybe one Ferrari for weekends and something a little more reliable for day to day, like a Porsche 911.
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    A Ferrari would never work for me. I've always had this damned "practicality streak" going on. I can't help it! It's why I hate my country for not having more RWD station wagons in production (or wagons in general). If Ferrari made a wagon, I'd have it on my wish list immediately.

    Plus, if I was uber rich, I'd be able to afford practically every Volvo station wagon on the face of the earth.

    But if you really want to...
    Spyker C12 Zagato
    A mildly tuned Lotus Elise for the go-kart fan in me.
    Add onto that a [URL="http://www.lingenfelter.com/pack_cor_c6_427.htm"]Lingenfelter Corvette[/URL]
    And since I have so much money, a shiny new 2008 Rolls Royce Phantom Security Edition
  • Vorlons in my HeadVorlons in my Head The Vorlons told me to.
    I'm sure for a small fee you can have a Ferrari 456GT customized into a station wagon. :D
