So here is the premise:

You save an eccentric billionaire from getting hit by a bus, and as a thank you, he decides to reward you by loaning you a garage full of cars of your choosing. However, you can only pick one car per decade. So, as it stands now you can pick:

1 car from 2010+
1 car from 2000 to 2009
1 car from 1990 to 1999
1 car from 1980 to 1989
1 car from 1970 to 1979
1 car from 1960 to 1969
1 car prior to 1960

So you get to pick 7 cars for yourself.

Some more catches:
+ You have to trade in your current vehicles
+ You simply have to pay for gas- he takes care of insurance and maintenance
+ You can't sell the cars
+ Any modded cars are from the date when the car was modded. Example, a Foose 1969 Camaro would a 2000 to 2009 pick, not a 1960 to 1969 pick


Pictures are always helpful!

So, what would you pick?

 

You must be bored at work.

Seeing as how he is paying for gas and everything, I am throwing out the idea of having a typical "daily driver" and just going into cars that I lust for:
2011 Bugatti Veyron Super Sport -


2007 Porsche Carrera Gemballa Mirage GT -


1998 McLaren F1 -


1987 Ferrari F40 -


1971 Lamborghini Miura P400SV -


1963 Aston Martin DB5 -


1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa -

 

2010: New Aston Rapide
2000-2009: My S2000
1990-1999: Ferrari F355GTS
1980-1989: Porsche 930
1970-1979: DeTomosa Mangusta (Pretty much just to look at)
1960-1969: 427 Cobra
Prior to 1960: MB Gullwing

 

Pre 1960: Auto Union Type D (#4 below), for my speculative investing needs. Expected to be the highest car auctioned at $12 mil, the bidding "only" went to $6 mil last year. I'd make my billionare bitch buy it for $15 million or whatever it takes and I'd own the most expensive car ever. Yeah, I can't sell it, but it makes for some killer collateral



1960-1969: Ferrari GTO, sexiest car ever built, for my classic car and vintage racing needs (also great collateral $$$$ )



1970-1979: Group 4 Lancia Stratos, for my rally needs:



1980-1989: Lamborghini LM002, for my towing and off-roading needs:



1990-1999: McLaren F1, what else? For my road racing needs. LM if I can find 1 of the 5 made.



2000-2009: Lamborghini Reventon, for my baller needs.



2010 + Fiat 500 Abarth, for my daily driving, errand running, weekend autocrossing, and incognito needs

 

2010: Porsche Panamera Turbo S (daily driver with room for four and power to spare)
2000-2009: Ferrari F430 Scuderia (hard-edged track machine)
1990-1999: McLaren F1 (best sports car ever built)
1980-1989: Porsche 959 (way ahead of its time)
1970-1979: Lamborghini Miura (beautiful and classy sports car)
1960-1969: 427 Cobra (a beast that couldn't be passed up)
Up to 1960: Mercedes 300SL Gullwing (I don't know much about pre-1960 so I don't really have a good idea of what else was out there that would be fun to drive)

 

Sure, what not. I'm going to put a hurtin on that old man's wallet...

2010: Range Rover Sport - need something to drive besides exotics
2000-2009: Aston Vantage V12, GT car
1990-1999: McLaren F1 GTR, ultimate supercar
1980-1989: Ferrari F40, original supercar
1970-1979: 1973 Porsche 911 RSR, best Porsche ever
1960 - 1969: Ferrari GTO, best car ever
pre 1960: Bugatti Type 51, just to make the old man pay...
