could I buy half of an Aston Martin now, and the other half when I win the rest?

Me, I would probably put the names of these cars into a hat and pick one out: 911 GT3, Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Jaguar XKR, Dodge Viper, Acura NSX, and some others that I can't think of right now...:)

mb sl65.

i'd spot the remaining 100k by daily selling transfusions of my ultra-rare AB negative blood.

The guy who mentioned the Acura NSX has class. Shame GM ripped off the body design for the new Vette.

I'd be tempted to get 58' Corvette roadster - black, with pearl inlay. Wide profile tires. Still, I'd probably just buy a Saturn Skye for nice days, Suburu Outback for bad days, and put the rest of the money into my house.

It would definitely be a car that I could keep for 20 years. The Porsche is a classic and a good start.

Or possibly a fully restored to better-than-new 23 window VW Bus.

:D

just to make it clear, that the money has to be spent on one car, like one of those sweepstakes that gave out $50k for a person to buy ONE new car...or 25k dollars......

In this case, the money has to be spent on one car ;)

I'd through in $20K of my own money and walk away with a Aston Martin V8 Vantage...or i'd pocket 30K and go with a Porsche Cayman.
