290 MILLIONS U.S. DOLLARS? Let me dream about this:

For myself(age 27):
2006 Red Ferrari F430
2006 White BMW M5
2007 Black Infiniti GTR
2006 Gray Mazda MX-5

Then I would pick up some cars for my family members:

For my father(age 61):
2007 Lexus LS600h
2007 Mercedes-Benz S600
2006 Aston Martin Vanquish S
2007 Infiniti M45 Sport

For my mother(age 59):
2007 Land Rover Range Rover Sport
2006 Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG
2007 Lexus GS460
2008 Mercedes-Benz CLS500

For my older sister(age 31):
2007 BMW M3
2006 Lexus IS350
2006 Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG
2007 BMW 535i

For my brother-in-law(age 31):
2007 Acura RL
2008 BMW X5 4.0i
2007 BMW 650i
2008 Porsche 911 GT3

Buying 20 new cars in three years isn't too much for a family who has won $290Million right?

whats with all this new shiz, what ever happened to classics that will never go out of style. the enzo will be cool till it gets replaced in 5 years and no one will care. the classics never go out of style.
Ya know, you're right. I should've included that white and gold W30 442 convertible I've always wanted...
