I'll second that.

Audi R8 Sweet!

The limerick, peculiar to English,
Is a verse form that's hard to extinguish,
Once congress, in session,
Decreed it's suppression,
But people got around it by writing the last line without any rhyme or meter.

I'd have to say the Mclaren F1  

or something a bit more exotic like the Bugatti Veyron Pur Sang edition

Perhaps a Spyker C8 the car used in the movie "War"

or a Koenigsegg

If I was really rich, I would drive one of those huge Freightliner custom crew cab diesel trucks designed for pulling big fifth-wheel campers and gooseneck horse trailers.  laugh
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

Tell me a bit more about the character.  Without knowing a bit more about him, I can only randomly throw cars out.

Personally, if I got a bunch of money, I'd probably get an Acura TL.  I'm still a cheap bastard, and probably would be even if wealthy.

If I was really rich, I could get the back doors on my jeep fixed so they would open from the outside.

Oh wait, I think I don't belong in this thread.  laugh

Excaliber.  Pretentious, in a tasteless way.
In thy presence is fulness of joy.
At thy right hand pleasures for evermore.

If I suddenly became uberwealthy, I'd probably still drive a Subaru Outback.

But I'd have a 64 Corvette Stingray in the garage. Smiley


Someone we know bought a Masarati last year.  Wife asked what kind of car I'd really, really want:
"Subaru WRX Wagon".
