That's a waste of a 100,000 dollars. There are much better cars. I'd get a brand new M5.

Infinity G35 Coupe is what, $40k fully optioned? For $100k I'd be in an M5 or something like that.

I take "expressly for a car" to mean that anything you don't spend on a car, you don't get to keep. Therefore, spend as much as you can in a car and be happy.

Yeah but you were given the money to buy a car. I would assume the money left over would be returned to the person who generously gave it to you in the first place. If that were the case it would really suck to be stuck with a used Honda when you could have gotten yourself something much nicer at no expence to yourself.

True. If I were given the $100,000 to spend solely on car and expenses, I'd probably get a new Accord with full options, then get a good car security package - what is it called, where it has the automatic fuel cutoff or something like that? Makes it virtually impossible to steal the car without towing it.

Exactly. I would have picked something more expensive than the Infinity, but I would most definitly kill myself in it.

Does it have to be just one car? For that price, I could pick up a nicely optioned Infiniti M45, Infinti G35 Coupe, and a Nissan Titan :p
