Probably Cadillac. I'm thinking a 2015 CTSV would be a nice summer time daily driver.
I may even be tempted to pay an Aston Martin dealer a visit.

No dealership for me. I cant justify spending 50k on one car when i could build 5 really nice ones for 10k each. Or save 50 from being crushed at a scrap yard at 1k a piece.

Oh dream this dream all the time!... Most days, it's the RV store! Yep, set me up with a tour bus /RV / Mobile hotel.., and it's off to Yellowstone, and everywhere else on the continent and beyond.! I'd probably pick up a small car to tow around in. When the Tour De Grande is over...It would be then off to find a humble and cheap, super green house to live in. With a shop and a pole barn. And have a nice little car collection. I would probably scoop up any really super original H body's that show up, and of course...

...My First Ferrari. Ferrari Ferrari, Ferrari!.. I have always dreamed of owning one. Even a disappointing Ferrari would be better than any other car to me lol. But I'd have to spend some time having the latest and greatest from Lambo. Murcielago? Aventador? Huracan? Something. Maybe just for a while. Maybe long term. One thing's for sure..It would sure be fun!

Mostly, though, I would treat myself to some fun with cars, but I'd try not to loose it all on cars either. I'd try to use a little to create regenerating income... And another dream of mine....going to school! I'd try to earn some degree's from some big school's. I'd get into Physics, Quantum Physics, Cosmology, Astronomy, Sustainable Engineering programs. Everything I love, I would do.

First Find the best piece of land then construct the "Garagmahal" at least 10,000sq/ft. construction facility, to start and then some more machinery, and tools, (is there a twelve step program for tools? Hi I am Harry and I have a PROBLEM I am a toolaholic) and a modular storage facility (need flexible storage for the ever-changing fleet). I would again get one of my other auto addictions, my 6th Suburban, and I would be hunting an original Mirage, because I would have to even up the H-Body/Suburban numbers. Oh I am sure the wife would require some kind of house to hide the garage on that piece of dirt "We" would choose. It hurts to think about this because you have to remember to buy the D :censored: N tickets. Harry

Since it's Powerball, I'm assuming it's stupid money.

If stupid money, I'd start out by building a modest 2 bedroom house on a very nice wooded tract of several hundred acres amongst some nice rolling hills.
Eventually, after cutting several trails through the place with a few Jeeps/Buggies/etc........ I'd start researching several of the local road race tracks. VIR, AMP, Road Atlanta, Barber Motorsports, etc..... just to get some ideas for building my own road course. Nothing major, just a mile or so long, with lots of elevation changes and goofy turns and twists... no long straights for speed... that itch would be scratched elsewhere.
My friends could come and race/play on the course ... but would have to leave for the evening.... hence the 2 bedroom house.

Which would go hand in hand with the garage...... Nothing Jay Leno like, but it would house some nice creatures for the road course..... odd creatures.
Vegas, Monzas and their clones - from completely stock to full chassis
You know I'd have some 2nd gen Trans Ams and Formulas.... stock to full Pro-Touring.
An '88 Fiero or two.... stock and fully modded.
VWs? Oh man, you couldn't imagine the kick-azz early Karmann Ghia that would reside there. I'm talking full on turbo Porsche stuff. Like this:
http://youtu.be/VS4UPQvox6I (check out the donut at 3:23)
Then just some classic VW drivers.

There wouldn't be too many exotics or modern creatures... mostly odd stuff I like. H-bodies, F-bodies, Fieros, Jeeps and VWs.
Modern drivers for comfort would be something like a CTS-V or a rebuilt late 90s Caddy Concours, SLS or Eldo. Northstar head gasket woes be darned.
Some sort of Diesel powered tow rig would have to happen to get H-bodies or parts.... never owned a truck before.... so probably a RV Bus or even an old KW or Peterbilt.

Yeah, I'd need stupid money...... :D

Very, very good idea for the ones I didn't want to own.... I mean, sure, I'd want to drive those modern super cars and enjoy their attributes... but probably not want to own them.

When i hit the powerball my first stop would be a class a motorcoach/bus .i would do like Marco and your the US for a year or so . But my first stop would be to Drop off my Drag car at big chiefs for a twin turbo Ls 454 .install i then would travel to every dragstrip in country and find my favorite track and buy it . Find 100 acres within 15 min drive build the garage of my dreams and start loading up on toys .i might even keep selling tools maybe get a tractor trailer mac tool truck or 5 maybe?but i will have to stop at Bently for the Wife. Its nice to dream but nicer to make it happen with lots of hard work.
