What 3 cars would you get??

"the only cars you'll ever own" - What? So the day after you acquire these 'lifetime' cars, the greatest car ever made is released - you're screwed. What if the barn burns down, you can't ever have another car - you're screwed. What if one of them breaks down and can't be repaired - you're screwed
Okay, I totally overthought the spirit of this exercise...

I saw this too. And I think I overthink too!
I assume that if it breaks you can fix it, since you have a complete abundance of money. I think for the sake of the thread the statement should be amened to "these are the only 3 cars you'll be able own for the rest of this year". This makes it more relevant. New cars will come into production so obviously cars in "your list" might be replaced. Same with the family comment, no plans yet, so all 3 cars being 2 seaters will suffice for the year.

Then there is also the fact that you're a millionaire or billionaire or whatever, the 3 cars you have are purely for enjoyment? If you need someone to take the kids to school? The wife from Westfields? Or pick up family from the airport? Theres always good old butler / private chauffeur on hand

THEN it never mentions the cars your wife has. They can all be more practical. If I'm a millionaire then I'll happily just have 3 V5C's in my name, with the rest (sportcars and more practical cars) in hers. Again over thinking and spoiling the point of the exercise. So I'll stick with my original statement: "these are the only 3 cars you'll be able own for the rest of this year".

I will assume that this hypothetical budget allows for maintenance and modifying! Here's my ideal 3 car garage, which is liable to change according to whims and future desires etc.

Supercar / Track car: Carrera GT

I've always had a huge crush on this. Light, open-top, V10 engine that wails to 8000+ RPM, manual gearbox!



Cruiser / Sunday drive: 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429

Big, loud, American V8!



Practical / off-roader: Land Rover Discovery Sport

To be honest I'm not really a fan of modern SUV but since there's only one car left to do the practical/off-road bit there's not much choice other than an SUV. Might as well be a Land Rover. Range Rover and Discovery are too big, Evoque too small, so this is just right!

Just have to add, you guys really know your cars - there is some serious car porn to admire .
Thanks for posting.
