What first car - really rich edition.

10-15 years ago, I would quickly say something from Aston Martin.

These days, I'm not sure. I see too many older people driving high end, high performance cars 5 under the speed limit. By themselves. In town. Nothing like getting held up by an AMG Mercedes on a 40mph dual lane road.

Then again, most cars are so far beyond what is reasonable on roads, yea. So maybe a good Giulietta Spider Veloce- like one I never finished.

Hard to say, it would depend on what I decide to do. Likely a Yukon Denali. Anything else will need build time.

Easy. I would find 12 year old me's dream car

Preferably a white LP5000s

The first car I would buy? Depends what's on Craigslist at that particular moment . Likely a total impulse buy.

In reply to The Hoff:

Good answer. I'd probaly go with one of the poster cars from my teenage wall. So, it's going to be a black Countach, black Testa Rossa, or a red 911 Speedster. Whichever I find first... so probably the Ferrari.

id buy a prius. cause nobody ever asks a dude in a prius if they can borrow a 20 cause youre rich.

Can I say first two?

First, I'd get one of these for daily driving.

Then I'd get one of these, because... reasons.

And of course, I've always wanted to run one of these at the Mitty (and other places).

I've read studies that show something like half of all major lottery winners end up in worse financial shape than pre-win within like two years. I think it probably has a lot to d with the fact that people who play lotteries a lot are already pretty good at making bad decisions with money. So the irony becomes that lottery winnings are largely wasted on lottery players.

But I would also imagine another super weird problem they face is not being taken seriously as high-rollers. Call up the Pagani factory and say "Hey, i want to buy a car" and if the guy on the other end even takes your call, a quick googling of your name is only going to show whatever petty crime arrest record you had pre-lottery.

So you'll probably find that the only guys who will treat you well until you can establish a rep for yourself are leeches like Vegas casino hosts who will keep you partying for as long as your cash and luck holds out.

Still, I'd make enough calls to get a GT3 RS in my driveway at some point. Or an ex-Trans-Am Buick Somerset.

TL;DR: Mo' money mo' problems.

69 Hemi Charger. 4spd. Black. I've never second guessed it.

Come to think of it, i'd probably not buy something crazy. Probably just pay off the 5 and Mrs. DX's Jetta. Maybe buy a cheap Forester or Miata. I would probably do more damage with buying bicycles

In reply to JG Pasterjak:

I don't know that I'd make two years of I won the Powerball so there's a chance I won't die broke.

The first car I'd buy is an F-40. It's the only car that I've always wanted to have.

After going out driving around for a couple hours, can I change my answer to "Any Bond Car"?

Something with machine guns where my popup headlights are, nice knee cappers to keep others from getting into my lane with, and maybe a caltrop release button?

If machine guns are too much, how about that EMP thing from 2fast2furious that kills the cars computer(and maybe the drivers cellphone in the process)?

Probably not where you were going with this, but I'm thinking needs over wants for a change. And I feel a need to not be scared for my life because every idiot is too busy chasing pokemon and texting to pay attention to the 5000lbs of steel they're driving around at 60MPH.

Although this would be a viable option

My 1st would be to place an order for a new Viper ACR-E before they go out of production.

Went all out and did what I really want. Best F40 I could find, then have them put roof racks on it so I could drive it everyday and still get stuff at home depot.

Then a ACR-E in the new Red White and Blue special edition color.

No need for an RV

In reply to wearymicrobe:

That's the picture I was thinking of. I'm also going to need a set of snows to get to work in the winter.

The fastest best prepped open road race Pantera I could find. Then I'd pick up a Rossion Q1 or Noble M400 for daily duties.

I'd flip a coin.

OR Testarossa Spyder with a Koenig Twin Turbo setup because Outrun:

It wouldn't be a car.

But the first car would be.

Then I would proceed to drive all around the U.S.A on an epic road trip.

Thinking alike, we just had this conversation at work a couple days ago. This was my immediate answer.

I suppose I'd go pick up a C7 or SS just for gettign around and not worrying about it too much. Everything else would need to be hunted down or built.

Chrome bumper C3 convertible, 4 speed, AC, with removable hardtop.
