Not sure if its been asked before on here, but if you won the big money, what would you go out and buy?
Personally...mine would be a V12 Auburn Boattail Speedster. Totally outside of my current vehicluar interest, but I was about 5 when I first saw one...it was a thing of beauty and it has always stuck with me. I actually know where there is one for sale not very far away from me.

It needs to be noted that ALL are drivers !!! no trailer queens or glass case show cars!!!
* also note that being limited to ten cars is a giant step backwards for me as my current car count is at 53 and the most I have won on the lottery was $9 on a scratch ticket.
I was asked this question a few years ago on another site, but it was very strict: 10 cars for the rest of your life - no swap outs or substitutions. This is why my list is so versatile, out of necessity, for the rest of my life (still can't imagine only having 10 cars - so weird!)
Of course the cars on my list would have much trouble reaching even 1 million dollars, so that would leave over $9,000,000 to build a suitable home for the ten cars, the shop of my dreams, a nice home - not a castle or mansion and plenty left over for kids, grand kids, parents and if there is any left....gas money! ROAD TRIP!!!

If i had won the Lottery. Try not to laugh to hard but i would then be able to get a Maverick station wagon or two shipped up here to Canada from Brazil. These cars are rare as Hell and were custom made only in Brazil for about 4 years. There are only about 75 to 100 left in the world but i would want two, one as the original 4-door station wagon and than do one up as a 2-door street rod complete with a Grabber hood and a 427 shoe horned into it.
Hey, something different, was never a super car type guy, really do love the odd stuff.
