I love the looks of the Ford GT, so that's my exotic pick.
Daily driver: current M3, although I'd like to learn more about the S5.
Crack pipe: Ariel Atom. I just love the whole idea of it.

I wouldn't buy anything over the top like a Bugatti. Probably a 911 or an Aston Martin.

Audi R8 v10. Done and done.
Then I would nab the RS5 as a daily when that comes out :) Prob a year away or so, but test mules have been spotted quite often.

Both would be PLENTY good enough for me.

wow, at least you didn't put a claim on a 87 IROC....

It's be a hard call for me to decide.

Also it would depend if the car I selected could be my only form of transportation (ie cannot rent or own another).

I'd probably like to test drive all these though http://www.thesupercars.org/fa...the-world-top-10-list/

430 Scuderia, it's the best Ferrari in a long time. I love it. Terrifyingly fast and it is overwhelmingly rewarding to drive it properly.

And you would know this how?

I can testify to terrifyingly fast from riding shotgun. The overwhelmingly rewarding to drive is what the driver said, and that echos every review as well.

Me and a friend at my college are working on a car club and one of the people looking to join's dad has a nice collection of cars (hell, the kid has a V8 vantage). He took me and my friend (we started the club) out there and his dad drove us in a few of them. This is also one of the places where I checked out the Elise, the other time being when I drove one in Vegas (my aunt's boyfriend's car). One of the better days in my life.

Probably Pagani Zonda F if I was going for performance/exotic looks.

Probably Aston Marin DBS if I was going for GT.

Audi S5 or BMW M3 for a daily driver.
Lamborghini Murcielago for an exotic.
Some sort of truck for winter.

If I won the lottery, I'd by a ZR1 Vette. Don't care much about owning the Ferrari's and Lambo's. One of those Maserati sedans might be nice, though.

Other than that, I'd collect some old muscle cars and play with those.

Daily Driver: 1966 or 1967 Lincoln Continental Convertible in black. Restomodded to be usable day-day (modern engine, transmission, suspension).
Workhorse: Ford diesel 4x4 long bed - converted to burn waste vegetable oil
Fun: an RCR gt-40 kit, no expense spared build.

I think I'd be happy with that garage.

I'd probably rotate my garage every year or when I get bored with one.

To start with:
Supercar: McLaren F1
top down cruiser: Porsche 356 convertible D
family car: VW Jetta Wagon TDI
4 seat convertible: BMW 3 series
Truck: keep my 1996 Ford Ranger. I don't want no shiny new truck.
Maybe I'd want a 12+ seat Dodge Sprinter for taking me and a baseball team to the beach or something...

1963 Corvette Grand Sport, if I could talk one of the 5 owners into letting me buy one.
