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'd live on the moon, drive a moon car, eat green cheese, and have hot alien strippers tend to my every need
 
Skyline R34
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.
 
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!
 
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.
 
live it up like they do in Entourage

i wouldn't buy 3 of the same aston martins though. that looks kinda dumb.
 
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.
 
2006 Porsche Carrera GT

Rolls Royce Phantom, optional Chauffeur for special occasions.

Living in Southern Cal, specifically Manhattan Beach or Newport Beach

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

Easily hand an E46 and then some their asses, dominate the track, etc.
 
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.
 
Veyron, 1967 Mustang Shelby GT500. I'd live on a 200+ foot yacht (must have helipad), sail N. America and Europe.
 
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.
