1. CLS 6MT for everyday driving (oop, I already got one 
)
2. MDX or maybe a hummer for the SUV
3. This is a no-brainer: Porsche Carrera GT. If not this car, then a streatable Porsche 962 TT

Daily driver: E55 AMG or one of the $$$ sedans like RR. I think really 4-dr sedans are the best daily driver. Most of use choose other cars b/c we can't afford a second, nice 4dr in addition to our sporty 2 dr or an SUV/truck for utility. The E55 is nice b/c the E-class is a great riding car, good room - and you can still play stop light racer easy in this car. Perfect daily driver. The large 300K+ sedans are so plush inside but it's almost better if you have a driver as lots of attention is focused on the back seat and the nice ride, not how well it drives. I'd have to drive them first. I'd rather get the $80K E55 and save the other $220K for part of a yacht at this point.
SUV: Excursion diesel or Hummer (real one). Nothing else can haul like the Excursion, and with a garage like this you are bound to have a big ass boat or two in there as well. There is still nothing like the Hummer.
Weekend car: Mclaren F1 or Porsche GT. The Mclaren is still the ultimate road legal sports car. You can argue about Enzos all day but the F1 still takes the cake and is what - 10 years older? The GT is the closest thing to the F1 IMO, still an excellent car. The Enzo to me is mostly for the name, it doesn't have the looks the other two do.
If we are going to add garage queen - an original hemicuda convertable, pref canary yellow

For the Actual Movie Car from Bullitt?.... Short of ur 3,000,000$ Cuda Convertible Id put anything under a cover, furthermore, if the Cudas in the Driveway, Id be driving it alot more :grin: lol... That was just a tough sell for me between a 426 Hemi Cuda, and Steve McQueens Mustang, Even in make belive lol, but decided the Real Bullitt Car, should hold the garage queen Position

1. BMW M5 - daily driver since it's basically an auto now...
2. GMC Yukon Denali - I hate GM truck interiors, but I still like this thing.
3. Porsche 911 Turbo - I'd like to say something better (Murcielago), but I think it'd drive me nuts if I owned anything more valuable than this.
Edit: pg 4

No, really it's just what I said about going crazy. Even if I had plenty of money to buy a supercar, I'd worry about it 24/7. My girlfriend thinks I'm nuts about maintaining my TSX and that only cost ~27k. I can't imagine what I'd be like with a 200k+ car....
So maybe if I could also hire a 24 hour security/detailing team, I'd get:
1. BMW M5 (still the most desirable sedan, at any price, ever)
2. Porsche Cayenne Turbo
3. Lambo Murcielago.
I also confined myself to the rules of the original post (1. daily driver, 2. SUV, 3. sports/track). A lot of people ignored that....
Edit: Also, I'd probably just kill myself in a GT2 or anything better.

Hey, but if you died in a GT2, your corpse would probably have a perma-grin etched on it. Best death, evar.
