1:
Find a good '69 Camaro or '70 Chevelle roller to do a full restomod project on. Something where the finished product is along these lines:


or


I'm not a 'purist' so this would be top to bottom, modern LS powertrain, fully updated chassis and suspension, comfy interior, plus obviously something very unique for exterior, etc.

2:
Something "practical". As played out as they are, it would probably be a Urus:



3:
A "reasonable to live with on a daily basis - if I want to" fun car that is beautiful to look at every time I walk out to it. Something probably like a V12 Vantage:

Jobs also went and got a new car every few months so he would never have to have a license plate.

I'm not the biggest car guy so I really don't care too much about name brands or actual numbers they put out.


The first thing I'd look into is some kind of personal helicopter that I can buzz around the city in and land in regular parking lots without too much issue. There are a number of them being developed now that are electric and small for 1-2 people. Ideally I'd want something that can fit 2 people but can still park reasonably well in a couple of parking stalls. I personally believe the mode of travel in the future for the elite/those with money will be this way.


Then maybe a V12 Aston Martin Vantage. There's one in my city that I see frequently and its just a sexy elegant looking car. And its not too 'played out' or as big of an attention grabber like typical super cars.


Third and lastly one of the big name super cars. Because like it or not, having one can allow you to network with high net worth individuals/the elite. Which leads to massive opportinty.

Not buying three cars, Thats a waste of money.

Would buy a new car like a mercedes or something like that and probably a truck with 4 wheel drive or jeep or something like that for the dirt.

Buying supercars and junk like that is why we see these shows of how lottery winners went broke.

People who win a ton of money and go broke leave the money cash and spend it all on depreciating assets, hookers, drugs, and gambling.

Assuming you win 100M and take home only 50M of that. You can invest it and receive about a 10% return in cash per year for the rest of your life. So 5M per year income. 5M per year is enough to afford a very comfortable life-style and three super cars.

Emotional value; this was my first car when I could barely afford one.
Hectic life where I sometimes had to sleep in this car inbetween kickboxing, college and work just to make it all possible.

Bentley Flying Spur - Daily

And a Ferrari for the flex


To be fair; I would only buy 1 car (probably the Bentley) because of simplicity and less headaches with insurance, maintenance etc.

You don't lose money on limited edition super cars. Not even a Ford.

To snag a new GT, interested buyers had to apply to Ford. Then, if selected, the lucky few had the privilege of shelling out about half a million dollars and signing a contract agreeing not to sell (aka flip) the car for 24 months. While not the first time a carmaker attempted to limit the secondary market for one of its cars, it was a rare move from Ford. And this is where the GT market got funky.

The first “used” GT anyone heard about was when pro wrestler John Cena sold his GT in 2018 which, if you look at a calendar, was a tad bit premature. Ford sued, demanding “The Champ” buy back the car for its $463,376.50 sale price, plus $75,000 in damages and right to reclaim any profit made from the sale. They eventually settled out of court, but in the meantime Mecum announced it would offer a 7-mile GT for its 2018 Indianapolis sale, consigned by someone who had bought the car privately from its original owner.

So Ford sicced the lawyers on Mecum, too, and that case also resulted in a confidential settlement. Mecum did sell the car, though, and this time the buyer wasn’t a handpicked, properly credentialed client. It was whoever was the last one waving their paddle. The first 2017 Ford GT to hit the public market at a non-charity auction, it sold for $1.815M—more than triple the sticker price. Then, once some of those 24-month contracts actually started expiring owners started bringing their 2017 GTs to market with more frequency. Despite little variation in equipment or condition (few drove their GTs more than a few miles), prices were all over the place during 2018-20, ranging from the $800,000s to the mid-$1Ms.

lmao if you win over $100m and think any single purchase is a waste of money, unless it's $10m or over, and even then could still be a sensible purchase.
