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

On second thought, I want the General Lee from Schneider's collection. (Has it re-sold yet?) I will sell it on ebay, buy a Corvette from each year, pay off my house and retire comfortablly
