Hell, I chose a McLaren F1, a car my wife would get into and out of once and then refuse to go near ever again. If someone gave me an FXX for free, I'd be willing to pay a few tickets to try driving it on the street until it got impounded.
well specifically i was meaning a car that isnt street legal, that FXXK isnt DOT approved so hed only be allowed to drive that at the track
In theory. Emiratis, Saudis and others tend not to care about our laws and drive them anyway. Sighting in London, LA and others aren't uncommon. With enough money, laws aren't really that relevant.

Yes I'll take it to the track to do what it's meant for. I would never drive it on the street, no point and too many idiots, potholes, etc

I really took a second to think about this thread title and as cool as my previous Macca F1 and an Airstream would be, I think I'd actually be more interested to waste a mountain of some random benefactor's money on a manual 812 Superfast and a badge that said 812 StillPrettyFast.

I assume, this is one of those where you are completely limited by practicality and cannot have access to any other car... if that's the case, then probably something like a Cayenne Turbo S or X5M.
