A $150,000 to spend...

[Anomaly385]

Ive always wondered about this. Say, you have approximately 150- grand to spend on any combination of cars that you want, give or take a couple of thousand. What would you get? The possibilities are endless, right? Well, to tame it down a little, say that you also have 3 kids and a wife to drive around. Also, one of the cars has to be for your wife (or husband) to use as a daily-driver. What combination of cars do you pick?


~Ferrari 360 Spider. OooLaLa~

[VTEC V6]

M5 and an M3 convertible
and spend the left overs on dinan goodies!!

[BRABUS]

A minivan for the wife and kids, an MB S600 for me!

2001 Nissan Maxima SE 20th Anniversary 5-speed: $28000
2002 Subaru Impreza WRX Sedan 5-speed: $24000
1995 Ferrari 355 Spyder 6-speed: $100000 (??)

Total: $152000

Car and Driver did something similar to this a few years ago, they asked their employees what they'd get with $50000 and why. It was pretty good.

Lotus Esprit V8 and an Audi S4.

Nismo 400R

Yeah, I'd like to see 3 kids in the back of that.

[Porsche]

One in front, one in back and one in the trunk. That is one nice car though.

Personally, if I had 150K to spend, USD i'm assuming I'd get godd everything, no dodge caravan for me. ZSo here it is:

BMW X5 (4.4) as the daily driver and kidmobile
His and hers Boxster's (The "S" would put me up to 170K)

hey, it could be done. Or maybe I could get 5 excursions or 45 Kia Rio's.

[Heep]

45 Kia Rio's.....fun for the whole family and the dog too!

[Volvo boy]

I would deffinatly have to turn a S60 or S40 into a street legal (or not) race car. Too many mods to list.

[Anomaly385]

Just had an interesting thought. I could sell the three kids into slavery or forced child labor for like $5000 each or so, giving me $15,000. I could then sell my wife into marriage with sum other guy who cant get any women, and charge maybe $10,000 or so. This would give me $25,000 extra, plus $150,000, which would be just enough for my Ferrari 360 Spider!!! Hehe, what an evil thought!

[Porsche]

LO, I heard you can sell babies for $60,000. I think it goes to science or something.

i think i would get a chevy tahoe and slam it on airbags with 17in euro style wheels... and paint it all yellow... all yellow. nice system, not wild...
that is for the fam... that is roughly 60k (depending on what is under the hood) probly a turbo... (THEME?)

for me...
yellow s4 w/ matching wheels from tahoe...
modded out... crazy style... roughly another 50k

that leaves me with about 40k to spend on... a subaru wrx sti...
in.... yellow, with matching .... wheels.... and some rally bred mods...

they would all have the alcantara material on the interior in blue (like the s4)
matching seats (cerullo) in all of em, and lots of aluminum inside...

and even a yellow helmet for when i take one of these wild ass cars to the track, and yes, the tahoe would be on the strip or the twisties, air handles great when done properly... trust me, i sell the shit

[flylwsi]

oh yeah,,, they would all have to be stick, which i would convert the tahoe to with a corvette six speed.... hehehe

[Porsche]

What's with all of the Yellow? I mean an S4 and an Sti would look great but a Tahoe?
