Porsche 959 - thought it would be a bit of an upgrade from my dad's cabrio turbo

Mercedes 600 Pullman Landaulet - love the classic lines and rarity, and that I would need a driver, even if the car predated me by a good number of years

I for some reason remember being in love with the Lexus LS400 and SC400 cars. Seemed like the perfect car to state "I made it."

Mine was a '69 Camaro. I had one for a short period of time back in the late 80's and I finally managed to find the time, money, and space to buy another one this past month. It needs a total re-do, but I've got 5 years before my daughter gets her license (it's going to be her first car), so I've got plenty of time to get it back together. It'll have 4-wheel disc brakes, upgraded suspension, and an LS-series motor to provide fuel injection and avoid the issues that come with carburetors.

I'm sure it will cost well over a million bucks, (pocket change to me once I win) and I'll drive the wheels off it. I already told my wife that I will buy my neighbors house, level it, and build a huge garage on the property. I'm gonna need it to store all my new toys. I'll also try to track down my first car (1961 VW Bug), buy it and restore it.

I'm gonna buy a 427 Comp car.
A 289 slap side
A 289 comp. roadster
A GT 40 J car
A GT350 R model
A 427 Camaro
A Hemi Cuda
A Featherlite 4 car hauler
A Freightliner tractor
I am going to spend the rest of my life traveling to Vintage race events beating the crap out of those cars.

When I was a teenager, our next door neighbor had a burgundy '63 with an L88. I'll have to say, that was one fine automobile.

When I was a kid I wanted a Rolls Royce Convertable. Had a poster of a white Corniche Convertable in my room. Also wanted to live in Hawaii and drive around in a red Ferrari. Magnum PI was one of my favorite shows back then.

I was never big into RR but I had the chance to ride in one & I'll admit I see the appeal.

In about 1955, it would have been a 1932 Ford coupe. Even then there were rare.
