5 Dream Car Garage

[RWD164]

OK, Here goes. Hypothetically, you are on the street minding your own business and an eccentrc millionare approaches you with a briefcase full of cash. He says you can have the money ($500,000 to be precise), becasue he is a nice guy. He puts one stipulation on the gift and says you must purchase only cars and at least one has to be European. What would you purchase with the money after you got over the shock of being handed half a million dollars. Keep in mind if he catches wind that you bought something non-automotive he has several large men with hairy knuckles in his employ that WILL track you down.

What would you buy, preferrably a numbered list. Give a justificaton if you like. PLEASE try not to insult each others lists.

MA
P.S. This should be interesting...

[Frög]

Ariel Atom-- Track, Modded ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~55k
Ferrari F430-- Just to own a Ferrari~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~205k
Hummer H1-- Offroad beast for wheelin, modded whole 9 yards~~~45k
Audi S8-- Luxury car to drive to work ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~80k
Porsche 997 or 993 Turbo-- Weekend car~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~120k

That should be right at +/- $500k..

Its so hard to have a limit, it would be definitely different if it was 5 dream car garage with unlimited funds

@Frög
Hahahaa.. try getting a fully modded H1 for 45K.. lol

Anyhow, here's my list:
Gallardo LP560-4 - $220K (weekend car, either that or an F430)
Brammo Ariel Atom - $50K (track car)
Range Rover Supercharged - $75K (offroader)
Aston V8 Vantage - $100K (daily)
Audi RS4 - $65K (grocery getter)
<OR>
997 GT3RS - $125K (weekend/track car)
Lotus ExigeS - $60K (track car)
Aston V8 Vantage - $100K (daily)
Audi RS4 - $65K (grocery getter)
Alfa 8C (if I could get one) - $150K (the first car to see after getting up and the last car before going to bed)

EDIT:
On second thoughts, I'd buy a V8 Vantage and a 997 GT3RS and invest the rest for the future.

[HatchMan]

1) Ferrari F430 : $173,079
2) Audi R8: $118,000
3) Audi RS4: $66,910
4) Audi RS6: $75,000
