What car(s) would you buy?

Lets say up to 5 cars and you have to still use at least 2 for daily drivers, work back(dost ask why you still go to work), grocery shopping, home depot runs, etc.

Used or New or very close to production future cars are ifne.

Before everyone goes on about a Rolls or Bentley, remember that as a daily driver how pissed would you be to have to fix keying or dings every week on those things?

Also remember there is basically no way to buy a Bugatti Veyron anymore. There are only a few hundred and all have been preordered, the guys that spent 3 years no a waitlist arent going to want to sell that sucker too soon.

Also stock cars only, no im going to buy a civic and throw $200million worth of mods onto that pos.

Also street legal please. No F1 cars or Nascar Stockers.

My list:
2000 Lexus SC400 202 Black exterior with Grey interior(Daily Driver)
Been in love with this car for a while, my friend had a earlier(1996) SC300 model with a 1997+ body update and damn that is a smooth, sexy coupe even today.

2007 Lexus LS600h
Make me feel at least somewhat okay about my blatant consumerism and gas wasting. Besides sometimes I'll jsut want to relax in a refined car.

Porsche Cayenne Turbo S (2nd Daily Driver)
If I need to get that 73" plasma back from best buy.

Shelby Super Cars(SSC) Ultimate Aero TT
are I say, better than a Veyron?
Dry Weight: 2,750 lbs.
Weight to Horsepower Ratio (lbs/hp): 2.33

Lotus Elise
What's life without a little roadster action? Furthermore, i can actualyl use this as another DD since its sorta pratical and realiable.

WRX
Diesel VW (Jetta/Golf/?)
BMW 2002 (classic)
Old Porsche (one of the not so desired ones in immaculate condition)
Couple of motorcycles (KLR-650, a Honda TransAlp, big and beefy BMW dual sport)

1990 Porsche 944S2 White with Black interior 5-speed.
New Porsche Cayenne
2006 GTO - 6 speed Orange
Newest Dodge Dakota R/T I can find
Then I'd sit on the rest until I can get a Solstice or Sky coupe.

edit: This list closely resembels what is actually in my garage. I own an '04 GTO and a '84 944. The dodge r/t will happen next year...

Special occassion/long trips-----Porsche Carrera 4 or AWD Audi. Basically a nice sporty car that is not too flashy, but a little flashy.

Don't know. I'd like to get some minor repairs done to mine, and I'd like a new CD-MP3 player. With lottery money, I don't know. Probably a hybrid or electric car. I only ever drive long distances when going to and from college. Other than that, I usually won't drive more than 30 miles in a day. While I'm at college, I drive 10 miles a week - one trip to the grocery store and back again. One tank of gas easily gets me through a full semester, excluding the full tank (10 or 11 gallons) required for each the trip home and back again.
Kind of wish I didn't have to waste that much gas on that kind of a drive, but the cost of staying at home (free) vs the cost of renting an apartment for the summer (assuming I could get one for that long), well, staying at home saves hundreds of dollars. Unless I find a paying internship that pays at least $20/hr, which is probably quite unlikely, I will be staying at home for the summer. :)

If I had the lottery money though, wouldn't need to be bothered with saving money on an apartment. Wouldn't really need college either, for that matter.

:confused:
What makes you think I need a new car? My present car is just fine. There are other far more important things in life.


edit: on second thought, I'd probably buy a nice tractor with a lot of toys to attach to it... Front end loader, bailer, some wagons, mower, rake, gang mower, brush hot... :)
