If you won $1 million, what car would you buy first?

shimmy23 · 10-02-2022, 08:59 AM

Automotive, but I do all sorts of photography. This month alone I've done work for a trucking company, some house shots, a rig-shot tutorial, and scheduled a wedding.

I would buy 1/3 of a La Ferrari

How was that possible? …and I thought that I was passive. Dude, how many hints did you want??😅

M-technik-3 · 10-02-2022, 07:20 PM

UrQ 20V Turbo maybe a 70 Plymouth 340 AAR Cuda.

I still dunno what that word means or do I care to. Talk about a prime example of "book" smarts vs street smarts. No wonder he's still talking about "congruency" instead of to an actual woman.

evil-G-nius · 10-02-2022, 09:25 PM

I would get a GT3 Touring with a manual transmission. I have always wanted a 911 since i was little

Frostynorth · 10-02-2022, 09:31 PM

Since I'd consider a Lamborghini a lot for 'just' a million, would import a Renault Renaultsport Clio v6.
Probably 2.

+1

I had a '71 'Cuda 440 in the 90s

Also had a 2015 Challenger Scat Pack that I put on a strobe stripe as an AAR tribute:

Obviously if I won a million dollars I would not spend it on a car. However I'm guessing that's not the point of this post. So if I was forced to spend it then unlike many people I think, I would rather buy a bunch of much less expensive cars.

I have found over the years I get bored with cars easily. For me getting to drive different cars > than driving one very expensive car. I'm also not a big fan of attention so I'm not sure I would own any exotics. Off the top of my head the only car I know I would add for sure would be a Z4M as I still miss mine. Maybe get a C7 again, some big cushy sedan like an S class.

35 more years of experience tells me you are correct. I was shy, inexperienced and less than confident back then.

M5Rick · 10-03-2022, 08:42 AM

I'd probably buy an early XKR Jag drop top that's been reliability sorted in that nice metallic blue colour then add a sportier exhaust.
It has the shape of the older E type but bigger which I like.

floridaorange · 10-03-2022, 10:47 AM

OP - was the point of this thread to hear how thrifty members here are or to find out what expensive car they would spend the money on if they had to spend the money one 1 car and 1 car only?

Some of these answers are so funny and pragmatic and I think totally are missing the point of the thread.

wren57 · 10-03-2022, 11:39 AM

billnchristy · 10-03-2022, 12:28 PM

Lincoln Mk5 just to anger my wife.

HEY32G · 10-03-2022, 12:58 PM

This exact 992 GT3 RS.

Chappers 71 · 10-03-2022, 02:06 PM

Maybe something like a Singer 911 & I’d buy a G61 with the change
