i think the money just allows you to buy the car.

which is enough for me. as long as i can put it in my living room and look at it and breathe on it every once in a while i'm good.


That's a shame. Hypothetically, if I COULD have the driver, I would have chosen a Maybach, since those things are pretty sweet and I wouldn't mind getting driven around everywhere.

Sadly at my height, I think it'd be tough to fit in most sports cars without having to remove the front seat so I could sit in the back. I'd have chosen the enzo Ferrari.

As it stands, I'll just take a souped up Chrysler Town & Country :D

How tall are you? I'm a big dude and I fit in a couple of the major supercars.

What's happened to that?

Not sure I get what you mean. It's a '32 Ford with a supercharger. I like it because it's a simple hot rod done very well. Very clean.

6'5". I've always found myself chewing on my knees in most of the major sports cars i've sat in.

It's a proportion issue, not just height. If you got long legs as opposed to taller body, you will be chewing your knees.

Many of the uber rich are pretty tall. Supercars for the most part have a bit of legroom once you get in.

major sportscars like the miata are better suited to people in a clown suit.

Something along the lines of:

I would be interesting to see The Stig take this around the Top Gear test track. They would probably have to cut a hole in the studio floor and extend the lap time board into the basement. But at least it could carry the whole production crew in grand comfort!

The airport vehicle demolition derby was excellent.

See, I just couldn't do an exotic under the terms of the OP. There's just not enough value in one.
If I want handling like a go-cart, I can go go-cart racing for $20. That's tons of fun.
Acceleration I already have in my street bike.
Exotics look nice, but then there'd be a whole lot of pressure trying to live up to the image. Too much work to dress the part, act the part, and live the part. A car that rules your life is not my idea of a dream.
Really, exotics are just impractical cars that don't fit into my lifestyle. While I wouldn't mind having one attached to my life, it doesn't fit as anything close to a central value.

This is why I went with the RV. It's something nice which actually has some solid use.
An exotic is a toy, an RV is not.

veyrons got 240+mph.....the supersport handles better than a go cart, and goes like fucking stink.

not to mention it has air bags, a cd player, and heated leather seats =D

Commercial airliners go 550.

And where are you going to use it? Go-kart racing is fun because you're inches from other people and the tire wall, and hitting the wall has no repercussions. Where are you going to toss around a Veyron without shitting yourself over the thought that you might damage a $20,000 part?

A Miata would be more fun than a Veyron.

As does my Grand Prix.

you can't drive an airliner on the ground

drive better? you can use it at the track, or to outrun the police. and show off and get bitches on your nuts.

No it wouldn't.

As does my Grand Prix.

drive better?

What do you consider "driving better"? Robotic laps around a track? LOL!

The difference between 100% and 100.00000001% isn't much. If you've never 100.00000001%, you ain't never hit 100%.

outrun the police.

>he thinks he can outrun a registration lookup for "Bugatti Veyron."

Way to go from a million dollar car to a bicycle in 24 hours.

No it wouldn't.

You've obviously never driven a tossable car before.

Wow. Clueless virgin detected.
I'm embarrassed for you.

Nope, I know the 458 has better performance, but something about the f430 just turns me on

Yup, for me, I would have the 355 spider. Yellow.

Not because it's better (since it isn't).

Because it came out when I was 14 and looked exactly like all the sex I wasn't yet having.
