If Money Was Not An Issue, What would you drive?

I dont know if this has been done on this forum before but I have seen this on many other forums before and I thought it would be fun to see what you guys think.

 

We are all big car/truck guys here and I know we all think about things like this. If money was not an issue (lets say you won big money in the lottery) what would you put in your garage?

 

As much as i like European Sports cars I think that I would go all GM

 

My Daily Driver (Winter/Huntin/Tow Rig): Silverado 3500 DMax

I would need this to Pull my Huge Toy Hauler 5th wheel and also my 25ft Mastercraft;)

My Wifes Car: Escalade AWD

Summer Time Driver: Cadillac CTS-V

Track/Strip/Fun Sporty Car: Hennessy Camro HPE1000

My Dream Car: 1969 Yenko Camaro

And I would build a 1955 Chevy Pickup Similar to this one

And I would buy this just because I could

I think that would be a good collection of cars, what do you guys/gals think?

I don't think I could ever live without a truck so I'd probably have a 3500HD duramax dually... but modified a tad to look a little more like this:

Then for a daily I'd probably want something along the lines of this:

I'd need a toy too so it'd probably be between a ZR1 vette in vic red or a Porsche GT3

I'd keep my Boxster S as my daily driver like now, but I'd fill out my garage probably with a 458 and either a Panamera Turbo S or Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S for when I need more than 1 passenger. Maybe a new truck for camping too, an FJ or a Raptor.

 

One more addition. I'd also order a Tesla Model S since they're pretty **** cool and to support the research on them. I'd to a Porsche 918 Spyder too if the lottery was big enough for similar reasons.

^Came in here to post this^

 

Since money is no option why not pick the most expensive?

 

In all honesty I could go on all day about my dream collection and I doubt I'm alone on that.

I like your Style. Go GM!!!

 

I too would love to have a hennessey version of the Escalade, i just dont know if my wife could handle the 800 or 1000 hp versions. I think i would stick with the 575hp version

 

That ZR2 is pretty awesome as well

The street version of the 959 debuted at the 1985 Frankfurt Motor Show as a 1986 model, but numerous issues delayed production by more than a year. The car was manufactured in two levels of trim, "Sport" and "Komfort", corresponding to the race version and the street version. First customer deliveries of the 959 street variant began in 1987, and the car debuted at a cost of $225,000 USD per unit, still less than half what it cost Porsche to build each one. Production ended in 1988. In total, 337 cars were built, including 37 prototypes and preproduction models.[1] At least one 959 and one 961 remain in the Porsche historic hall in Stuttgart, Germany.

 

959 Sport Specs:

0–100 km/h: 3.7 s (62 mph)

0–160 km/h: 8.3 s (99.5 mph)

0–200 km/h: 13.0 s (124 mph)

0–1000 meters: 21.6 s (standing)

0-1/4 mile: 11.9 s (standing)

 

I ALWAYS wanted one of these!!! My dad had Porsches from the late '70s till 1992 when he traded off his 1988 928S4. They are near and dear to me. The 959's are as rare as hens teeth.

I'm a huge car guy, but (strangely) as I've gotten older, investment properties and boats are becoming a lot more appealing.

 

I've always wanted to build a Cobra - I'd do a SuperFormance - my uncle has a real Shelby (has owned many over the years, '62 289, '65 427, '65 427 S/C, etc.), but with the values being what they are he is afraid to drive it.

 

Anyway, it would be low, with period correct looking Halibrand style wheels but in a bigger than stock diameter like 17". Probably use a 4.0 liter aluminum V8 Lexus engine with throttle bodies and a 6-speed Supra transmission. I know, I am a blasphemer! And it would be blue.

 

Maybe a Maserati Gran Turismo for every day, lowered on 21" wheels.

Keep the Odyssey for bikes and trips to the marina.

Twin turbo the Lexus GS400.

Turbo the NSX.

Finish the silly Turbo '85 MR2 I've been working on for many years.

...course my SS would have a few dozen mods.. :drool:

Well that goes without saying. I'd take the G8 to Modern Muscle down the road with a suit case full of $$$ and leave them with these 2 requirements:750+ rwhp and driveable on the street. Then we'd do the same with the lovely Mrs.' TBSS, except hers is AWD. :burnout:

Im relativly cheap and new Sierra Denali and SS Camaro and I would be a happy camper im not into exotic cars except for the gt3 which I think is BA! but not a everyday car.

I'll try to stay realistic.

 

2011 HD Denali. Actually, this truck will be in my driveway in the near future.

And of course, this one will not be in my driveway in the near future, lol.
