Picture this - let's say you hit a major advance and your book is on the NYT list. So, with this in mind, what car would you choose to drive?

My take - Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4.

What's yours? :)

I can't drive.

If I could, a Testarossa. Or an F40. Or McLaren F1. Or Lamborghini Diablo. Or Jaguar XJ220.

A Toyota minivan with tons of toys, crayons, Play-doh, papers, notebooks, pens, DVDs, and candy on the floor.

So yeah, nothing would change there. :)

Just an old Honda like I do now :) Not that I don't like luxury in anything, just not in cars. I love my old, old Hondas!

Jags are the prettiest cars, I will say.

A yellow Toyota FJ. I could probably afford one, but since it is my current dream car...I have to wait until I win a lottery to get one. I like the way they look like big Tonka cars. (-:

If I came into scads of dosh, a car wouldn't be where I'd spend it. There are a lot of fancy cars, but I have loved the Mazda MX-5 (Miata) ever since it came out. And I loved my Audi A3. I dig just about all the Audis - the new A5, and the supercar, whatever it's called.

But I'd probably go a superclean vintage Vespa or Lambretta to go with my current ET4. And then, well, a beach house, a surfboard, the entire discography of everybody, a recording studio, and lessons for me and some mates so we could just jam econo* forever.

Something that sounds something like that. A Tesla Roadster.

Well, the NAME sounds like that. The Tesla Roadster sounds like almost nothing. Blind people are appalled.

Well, ...

Maybe I should get two of those Boxter Spider thingies...
Six-speed manual transmission - my Accord only has a five-speed manual.

But then there's the Tesla's simplicity of "press down and hold on."

I'd probably just pay to have my sunroof and passenger window fixed.

If my driver side window stops working, I'm screwed. :D

Despite loving cars, I probably wouldn't actually use the money on such things. But in case I decided to do so anyway...first car that comes to mind is a Corvette, maybe one of those new Grand Sports (convertible option, please!). But I could also go for a Dodge Viper SRT-10...ooooh, or a Saleen S7 Twin Turbo! You did say it was a pretty major advance, didn't you? :D

Or I would just learn to ride a motorcycle like I've talked about for a few years now, and spend the money on a nice bike of some kind. (Can you tell I don't know much about motorcycles? lol)
