Default Lottery fantasies

Anyone else distracted today with lottery fever? Half a billion dollars and there's really nothing that's out of the question. Answer the following questions, then add whatever non-car related lottery ideas you have.

1) Do you keep your S2000? If so, what do you do to it?
2) What is the first car you buy? (ie, win the lottery Saturday and show up at the dealer monday morning with a fistful of cash)
3) What car do you buy for your daily driver?
4) What classic car do you buy, if any?
5) What ultra exotic do you buy?
6) Your new house only has a 5 car garage. you can store other cars at your storage garage, but you can only have 5 cars for immediate access. What 5 cars?


Pat's answers
1) Of course. Continue with the race build but go top shelf. Overnight parts from Japan.
2) I buy back my CR. But other than that, I'm thinking Audi R8 spyder. Relatively inexpensive, good daily driver, still completely baller.
3) CTS-V (sedan or wagon) or M3
4) Mercedes Benz 300SL gullwing or Ferrari California
5) McLaren F1
6) M3, R8, NSX, Q7, AP1 (for cruising inconspicuously)

I would buy myself a white R8 Spyder, then defer to Sam for the rest...

1) Yes. Honestly, not much else, I think I've damn near bought everything possible.

2) Bentley Mulsanne.

3) Yeah right, one car for DD purposes. You're funny. Audi S7 if I really have to answer.

4) First classic I'd buy would probably be a Jaguar E-type.

5) Hmm. Tough one. Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Superleggera in orange.

6) The Bentley from above, the S7, Holly's R8, Ferrari 458 & Ferrari FF.

Until the girls get old enough. Then the Ferrari's have to go to offsite and the girls cars go in the garage

So we all like the R8

I guess I ask about daily driver since the majority of my fleet of cars would probably be sports cars. Would need at least 1 car with 4 doors and back seats for the rare occasion that calls for it. I wouldn't need to drive the McLaren F1 to get groceries. Although it does have 3 seats and built in luggage compartments...

I didn't notice we all picked the R8

The other issue with the daily would be whether it needed to be AWD, I suppose this would depend if you would continue where you currently are.

We would not. Sorry, Michigan.

Oh yeah. Snow. M3 traction control and blizzaks, Q7, as well as the R8 for when I visit in the winter.
