hmm tough call.
i'd like a F430 or gallardo spyder or maybe just an R8, but i just couldn't drive it everyday. So if i'm allowed to buy a daily driver, i'd probably pick some exotic.
but if i just own my dream car and nothing else, i'd probably take a DB9 or if the rapide ever come out, or maybe just an RS4
now if you say i can take a classic car w/ nearly 0 miles, and none of the problems, maybe an aston martin DB4 GT zagato, or an elenor, or an SL gullwing

Still trying to decide what color. I've got it down to "Monza" red or "Tour de France" blue. Maybe plain white or that metallic grey/blue.
This "rossa corsa" is just too common.

I still remember exactly where I was on the road when I saw my first one drive by. I saw it from about a mile away, and was like "no way, it can't be", and he got closer and closer and then i peed myself.

My all-time favorite: 1995 Honda NSX Type-R
I love a bunch of other exotics/supercars and classics but the NSX-R is something I'll never lose thought of.
