Default How to spend my 290 mil from Powerball?

I was thinking my first few cars would be:

Z06
Ferrari 360
Porsche 911 turbo
Acura NSX

Take my Sti to Rally tech and give them about $25K for upgrades

1. Yellow Carrera GT
2. Black or red Ferrari F430 coupe F1
3. Red on tan 360 spider 6 speed(I like the technological marvel of the 430, but the 360 is just so elegant)
4. Red 360CS for the track days
5. 2006/07 Fisker Tramonto - based on the SL55 and Aston Martin
6. Black Lamborghini Gallardo E Gear with black and chrome wheels
7. Yellow Lamborghini Murcielago 6 speed with HRE wheels (there was one posted exactly like this a while back and it was amazing)
8. Black Bentley GT with the chrome factory 5-spokes
9. Black on red/black BMW Z8 with Alpina wheels
10. Black Hummer H1 Alpha for any type of utility and offroading
11. E90 M5
12. Silver Range Rover
13. 2006/7 Fisker Tramonto by Fisker Coachbuild

All for a slim $2.5 million....

You have it all wrong, my friend.

-Enzo (but wait for the Veyron to come out which should drop Enzo values by a few hundred grand)
-Continental GT (the winter AWD beater)
-355 Spider (If you have ever heard one you would understand)
-DB9 Volante (for those road trips when you want to drop the top when you get there)

That should get you started, and then you can pick up a Koenigsegg, CGT, and SC Ariel Atom when you build up the intestinal fortitude

Hmmm. Well since the $290M would be more like $140M after taxes, I think I'd try starting my own auto customization business, land some high-rollin' clientele after I put out a couple rides and show 'em off at the Concours or a Concorso, and then go from there. So I guess my "poor" self would get a lowly CL55 to drive every day.
