Depends on how much I win. If its some outragous amount ZR1,LP-640s,430s,#s matching 1970 Chevelle SS LS6 and any Aston will be the first cars I pick up. If it's only a couple million I'll take a GSXR 750,a drop top Vette and a AMG CLS Benz.

I'd have at least two cars:

1. The daily driver, just when I want to get between point A and B with a minimum of fuss and maximum of comfort: Hyundai Genesis V8

2. The sports car for spirited drives: Ferrari F430 convertible

umm... i think i would go for a mercedes sl - nothing very exotic. i think i would ease into something even more exciting in time. a beautiful house would probably be my first priority. i think i would also opt for a fully loaded 2009 nissan maxima. i would hate to be one of the countless "cursed" lottery winners - overtaken by greed.

I'd have a brabus rocket for a daily driver.  :rockon:

That's a great local brewery that we have. Do I drink their beer? No.

I'd get something simple like a new S4 or old RS4.... then dump $10-15k in the RX-8 to make it everything I always wanted it to be


....actually I have the money to dump in the RX-8 now..... and I should make my dreams come true with it.... but I'm a cheap bastard and can't justify it

Come on, you just won the lottery, live a little! If you're going to get a Trooper, at least make it an Acura SLX!

Man that is a tough one. I want to say I would find an F40 but I would probably pussy out and get something like a GT3.

2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

I see it.

It's the same lame-ass Cherokee 93JC used to post all the time.

Things would remain about the same - sticking the with Accord with an Outback XT in my immediate future as I have been thinking (and advised elsewhere on the 'Spin) the last little while.

I don't know what car I would want first.

Maybe a GT3 slate grey with black wheels. Maybe a F430 spyder with a manual trans. Maybe pick up a Carrera GT. Definently not a Veyron though.

You should go with the cocoa interior though.

I told my wife last night that if we won the jackpot last night ($35 Million), that I would buy a DBS. 

She said, "How much is it?". 

I said, "$300,000 CDN". 

She said, "That's too expensive"

I said, "We'll still have $34,700,000 left over".

She said, "Oh yeah".


Women. :rolleyes:

Gray over cocoa with a blue top and black wheels?  I'm not entirely sure that cocoa is available with the sport seats, though.

EDIT:  Cocoa works with the sport seats.  But I'm not sure of the brown leather.

I saw cocoa with seal grey once and it looked amazing. It's a very deep brown and it contrasts well with the aluminum trim. I'm not sure how it would go with a blue top and black wheels though.

Don't get a blue top.

I pretty much hate any top color other than tan or black, regardless of the car it's going on.

I think I'd spare no expense on a 2001, 500 hp, STi wagon conversion to recreate my hero car from Gran Turismo 2 (using my current chassis or not depending on how structurally sound it is).  BTW, I had that car long before I bought my real-life battle wagon.

Think I'd prefer it without the rear wing

Now I'll definitely get a blue top.  And you can't drive it!
