Default What would you do? Buy three cars for $150k.

I just drove (or drove in) my three ultimate cars this weekend, and it got me to thinking.

What three cars would you buy if you had $150k to spend?

'02/'03 S2k, of course, 32.5k + rims/misc mods 5k
'89 Testarossa 75k
'99 M3 30k + rims/misc mods 7.5k

I'd be one hell of a happy man if I had those three in my garage!

Of course I could top it but that's just spending more money My fantasy land isn't _that_ far-fetched, I hope

'02 BMW M5 70k (roughly)
'02/'03 S2000 32.5k

That covers my needs for performance, practicality and a convertible...

Keep the rest to pay off debts and put a downpayment on a house...

S2000 - $33k
M5 - $72k
Ford F350 w/ turbodiesel + 20' enclosed trailer - $45k

Fun car, "practical" car, and a truck to pull the trailer and haul crap!

2002 M5

1999 M3 Convertible

I'd have enough left over for a 1986 Jeep CJ-7 in decent shape

S2000 = 33K
Porsche Carrera 4S = 85K
Nissan 350Z = 32K

I may need a few extra dollars for the Z, but overall I should be in the 150K to 160K range. . .

And I'd be REAL happy

An ammendment to my post:

'91-'96 Jeep Wrangler 5k + mods 10k

THEN use the rest to pay off debts. I can't BELIEVE I forgot to mention replacing my Jeep when I first posted...I feel so unworthy...

Hangin' with car people and having a shit-eating grin while driving? PRICELESS
