Since the Delorean was already taken.

Early 60s Ferrari GT California Spyder (same car, in red, destroyed in Ferris Beuller's Day Off)

Altho I'm also very partial to the late 50s BMW 507

What I love about Lamos is that they actually look pretty damn good in Bright Orange or Lime Green.  Also, if you're luck, and an Italian police officer, you might get one of these as a squad car:

Lambo Gallardo LP560-4

Though, from what I'm given to understand about driving in Italy, you'd have to be a real madman to get pulled over in the first place.

I'd go with a Gallardo Superleggera:

And I even like the color.

All you people who didn't say "Bugatti Veyron" have brought the wrong car.

It feels dirty to call this beauty a "car," but this is definitely my choice.  Literally any year, though as far as the interior goes I prefer late models.  The one and only Rolls Royce Phantom.

I mean, sure, it'd be nice if it came with a chauffer who didn't mind ANYTHING going on in the back.  But then, I wouldn't exactly feel like a chump driving my own phantom, you know?

However, since that is a valid point, and since I pulled a similar move by picking Air Force One in the plane thread, here's my second choice-

The Morgan Aero 8.  Hard top convertible (you need a screwdriver and everything), two seater british roadster from heaven.  This thing has the looks of a 1925 phantom and the kind of balls you read about on Cracked.   This is what the interior looks like.

Or if you prefer black (big ol' image)- http://www.seriouswheels.com/pics-2006/ … 80x960.jpg

...I need to change my pants.

Oh believe me, I thought about it.  SS version if you please:

I could have equally gone with something like an Audi R8, or a Ferrari F-458, or a McLaren MP4-12C.  But there's a problem with cars like that, IMHO.

First you need a really safe place to park it, not only overnight, but anywhere you might want to go.  If I had to park my Veyron in the driveway, I don't think I could sleep at night.  Now imagine having to go get groceries; they'd better fit on the passenger seat.  For that matter, you're going to need to hire a guy to follow you around wherever you go to keep an eye on your Veyron while your in the store or at the movies or wherever.

Now granted, if by some financial miracle I could afford a Veyron, I could probably also afford a new house with a garage and a security system.  But I'd still want something else to drive around 90% of the time, which I don't have to worry about getting vandalized or stolen if I go to a movie, and I think that rather defeats the point.

I made my choice based on the idea of something I could park in my driveway (or at the mall, or a theater or whatever), that can carry four people and all their shit, has performance and handling fit for track, and makes me sexually aroused just by looking at it.  Also, with the money I saved not buying a supercar, I could also have one of each of these:

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X

And

2005 (don't care for the facelift they got in '06, or the current body style), Subaru Impreza WRX STi, in the proper blue with gold wheels.

I fully admit that one does not buy something like a Veyron with practicality in mind; that defeats the point.  To quote a little car show from across the pond (during an episode where the three of them drive through Europe in a Ford GT, a Pagani Zonda, and a Ferrari F-430), "You can't rationalize cars like these; they're not something you buy with your head, you buy them with your heart, because you love them, and who can explain love?"

If I could, I'd have a garage (warehouse) like Jay Leno, with all of these in there, but this thread isn't about what your dream garage would contain.  If I had to go with just one, I'd stick with my first choice.

Not my first choice, but you drove it over to my place to show off I'd still drool all over it.  If I didn't already have one in the dream garage that is.

I knew someone would pick a Morgan.  This one's for you Kyle:

IT MAKES IT MORE AERODYNAMIC, MAN.

As long as no one says the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, I think we're all gonna be okay.

You children can have your monster engines and your new-fangled fuel injectors and your fancy-pants AIR BAGS.

I'll drive art.

the stang hasn't got fi or airbags...  hell mine doesn't have disc brakes, just a big bugger off V8
