Yes, me too. I would re-create a few of my favorite cars from the 90's. I don't want to stroll down memory lane; I want to Cruise down it!!!

I would also pick up an old 3.2l 6-speed targa NSX. Preferably in silver. I have always wanted one.

^^^Me too, except white. This would be one of my first purchases.

I have also thought that if I ever come into a bunch of money that I would purchase every single version of the 240sx in white. S13:coupe-vert-hatch S14: zenki-kouki, and s15. Then an R32. And I would build a Nissan D21 pickup with a RB. Oh man. I have to work harder.

First call (well automotively anyway, as it wouldn't be my first priority) is a call to become a member of AMP. Then there'd be an open call on here for the first annual DadHawk Track Day, Run What You Brung event.

I'd keep the FR-S and MomHawk's '05 Mustang (she wouldn't give it up, I've tried to upgrade her). We'd upgrade the family/vacation hauler from our '04 Suburban, but honestly not sure to what. A Suburban RST/Z71 would be tempting though.

Then I'd buy the GM Dynamic Duo for myself (C8 and a V Series Coupe) as my daily drivers.

After that, I'd have to upgrade my hangar before looking at some classic cars.

Not that I've thought about this or anything....

If you win tomorrow, don't forget who was good to you here
See that is my point. Nothing wrong with liking a platform nor working to “better” it but people’s outlooks would change quickly if they actually had the cash on hand. I will bet a beer that the majority of the guys saying they would keep it would leave it in a hurry if they had that sort of money dumped in their lap.

Yea, I agree. I'd keep it just because I don't have a compelling reason to sell it, but it would not be my primary car any longer, and I would maintain it, not build it.

I would not sell mine either. I would give it away to some worthy youngster that I felt was deserving. If I have $100 million I am not going to worry about selling a $12,000 used car.


Watch for my thread when I win big!

Will keep my BRZ. Funny thing is none of the dream cars I want are the new high power heavy weight techno turds like the McLaren, 488, Aventador. I love to get my hands on 308 , air cooled 911 turbo, and a GT40 replica. $100 million will get you a ticket back to the golden era of motoring!

I would have a stable full of cars that I used too own or wanted back in the day. All pre 1971 and all American starting with the whole 1970 Mopar line up.

Yea, I've said on here before my idea of a car collection would be starting with one "reasonably priced car" that I drooled over from every decade I've been alive. After that, I'd want to work may way back through the timeline from 1979 to 1901.

Well I wouldn't go that far back but with that sort of money all the sky would be the limit.

Hadn't even thought of movie cars, but I'm with you. If we hit at the same time I'll get this and we can trade off on occasion.

Well, that one may be a bit much even if I had $100M (not sure I want to sink 4% of my net worth in a car) so maybe I'll buy some thing close that probably drives better anyway.

There is already one of those driving around London so it is way too common for me!

It would stay in the barn while I drive any of the multitude of other cars. Could build a helluva z06 for 120 all in.

Maybe I'd actually have time to drive my cars too after hiring an Au Pair.
