if money wasn't an issue....

[Fritzo]

I'd probably do a Jay Leno thing and buy different types of unusual cars. That guy has a dream life (and he freely admits he does too : ).

If we're going to make up stupid, impossible fantasy scenarios, we might as well at least have some imagination.

Bell Helo I can understand, but why the Raptor? It would be cool to ride one a few times, but if it was for keeps I would get a Gulfstream. Which one would you want? Jacuzzi with huge LCD flatscreen and super comfy bed or grown-up undies in a tight cockpit for 8 hour flight?

I'm happy how I am now, have a 5000 sq foot home, drive a BMW, have a new vette and mustang.

i'd live on the moon, drive a moon car, eat green cheese, and have hot alien strippers tend to my every need

Ducati 999r (although it'd be a loooong time till I could ride it)
West Coast or Hawaii, on the water somewhere

If I get bored with the F-22 I'm s ure I could find someone to trade it for a business jet.

I'd have a little 3-bedroom ~2000 square-foot house that I designed. I'd put the house on a little 1-2 acre piece of land in either Heber or Kamas Utah...or somewhere in Idaho or Montana (as long as I can get broadband internet...).

I'd have a mid-sixties Corvette big-block or a Shelby Cobra.

 

[RyanVM]

sorry, mispost

 

[Otaking]

A nice 3/2 or 4/2 (if they exist) condo on beachfront property in SoCal would do just fine.

For transportation I'd own:

1) Some Hybrid != Prius so I could ride the HOV lanes (maybe a Highlander Hybrid or Camry Hybrid) and
2) Subaru Legacy GT Wagon (or some other really nice reliable wagon!)

I :heart: station wagons!

 

[PrinceofWands]

Pacific NW or Alaska (maybe). Any tiny town or rural area will do...preferably less than 20,000 people in the area. If there was truly no money issue I'd have a small castle on a mountain in the woods near a river/lake. Otherwise any average 1600-2400sq' house will do. I'm perfectly happy in my current home however. I'd have one super efficient car (40+mpg) for any commuting and one larger vehicle (maybe a small SUV or pickup) for camping and hauling.

 

[EKKC]

live it up like they do in Entourage

i wouldn't buy 3 of the same aston martins though. that looks kinda dumb.

 

[Kyanzes]

I wouldn't buy any special car, maybe an E series MB, even S-Type would be too much. (I'm not interested in stuff like Bentley Continental.) The other would be a Hummer.

House: a huge but entirely FLAT house - no stories at all, situated far from densely populated areas, not necessarily close to water, probably in a valley, preferably in a continental/northern region - with a room for cinema, a hobby room for comps and the obvious other kinds of rooms. Almost no furniture, everything made from metal with chrome coating. Would definitely set up a special hobby room (aside from the comp room) with chars/replicas from Aliens/Predator/Terminator/SO2001 and other landmark sci-fi movies like those. No swimming pool, don't like to swim, but definitely transparent walls that could be turned opaque at will (I mean with the press of a button lol). As for the style of the building: nothing special.

Is that really worth the trouble? What kind of performance?

Easily hand an E46 and then some their asses, dominate the track, etc.

Ferrari F430 and a RR phantom

Lots of interesting responses.

As a large man who can't drive just anything, my sights are set lower. Although maybe I could modify anything purchased to fit me well.

No modification vehicles:

Ford Excursion diesel. Small lift and lots of engine mods. Propane injection, ftw.

BMW 745iL - natch

Modded vehicles:

Pagoni Zonda.

Maybach with a driver.

Housing:

Castle in the Ireland countryside.

Northern CA beach side home.

Puget Sound area of WA state.

 

[everman]

Veyron, 1967 Mustang Shelby GT500. I'd live on a 200+ foot yacht (must have helipad), sail N. America and Europe.

Good lord! That thing probably costs more in gas per trip than my car costs! But probably LOADS of fun! I second that one.

 

[DrPizza]

I'd live in my present home, same vehicles. If money didn't matter, I assume I could spend the money on things that mean a bit more to me.
