man..a friend of mine inherited 500k from his father passing...he got a 2010 camaro rs, wrecked it, got a 2010 camaro ss (talked about hennessey upgrade but shot it down cuz he knows he wants to buy the 2011 z/28), bought a nismo 370z, bought a house, a lexus es300, all new cars...he blew through the money and has somewhere near 100k if id venture to guess.

with that as my heindsight, i would have to say invest. but like others said, i cant ruin the fun...i really liked the idea one guy said about a 2011 s4 and a 2011 boxter spyder...
but i liked the practicallity one guy said of getting a truck as a second vehicle. it would be sweet to just have that money

I blew a clutch slave cylinder yesterday at Texas World Speedway. My C6 has been bulletproof except for this issue. It's not that big of a deal, but it still annoys me. My car moves around the track quick nicely, but I had a guy who knew how to drive come up on me in a black/red ACR Viper and it was pretty ugly. That car just haul arse. I talked to him afterwards and it's stock save for slicks, exhaust, and headers. Sucker just flew, so I'm really wanting one again.

So, my answer would be a leftover '09 ACR Viper for about $85k. Then a Chevy Volt for a daily.

This is simple!

I'd buy a lotus for weekend/track use, a bimmer for everyday use, and a truck or sport utility for utility. And call it a day. At least this way I could live within reasonable means and maintain all of the vehicles. lol.

same for me, but no volt. just the rest for track days and consumables. maybe i would get a '10 instead.

GT3. If I could afford the maintenance, maybe a lightly used 360. What are used 430's going for these days?

Porsche 996 GT3 - $50k. This would be the reliable car for track and mountain road thrills.
Ferrari 328 GTB - $40k. I just love the lines of this Ferrari and don't care about its relatively modest performance compared to modern machinery. The engine music is also a strong emotional pull.
BMW 328i Sports Wagon - $36k. I need a practical, dependable car for DD duty.
