What car nut has not fantasized this dream! OK, you win $135 million. Take
home pay is about $81 million. Take it all in cash and you usually get half,
so you are down to "ONLY" $40 million in the bank. :-) I can live with
that!
Now, why limit yourself to ONLY one car?!? Buy the little house with the
huge garage and start a collection.
I'd like a brand new Z-06 Corvette for a daily driver, but a real Cobra would
also live in my garage, along with various LBCs, both Large and Little. How
about a night on the town in your new Bentley, then a drive in your XK140 to
Indy for the F1 race? I would probably collect as many 1967 cars as I could.
A '67 Corvette convertible is an all time fav.
Dream on!
