If you had $1,000,000 (USD).....
I saw a thread like this on the FM4 forums, and I thought it was a great idea. The problem with the thread there was there was no discussion, so I figured I'd start it up here...
If you had $1,000,000(USD) (that's $1,000,075.29(CAD) or € 752,898.66 or £ 629,046.83 at today's Exchange Rate ) to spend on any any three (3) cars, what would you buy?

Easiest decision ever - Nissan GTR, McLaren MP4-12C, and a Ferrari 458

For me I'd go with
The list doesn't look all that impressive, but with only 1,000,000 USD, I'd still have to deal with maintenance, insurance, gas, etc... I'd love a 458 Italia, but there's not a Ferrari dealer here, and even if there was, maintenance is stupid expensive on them...
*EDIT* I had a hard time choosing between the M3 and the new Lotus Exige, but settled on the M3... The Engine note was the deciding factor! This is not as easy of a choice as it sounds... I'd also love to build a Factory 5 Cobra and Daytona, along with a Caterham 7 CSR (with the Caterham 7 CSR Superlight 2.3 Cosworth Duratec Engine)... SO MANY CHOICES!!!!
- 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon (dual tops) w/ After-market Super Charger and slight lift - This would be the daily driver and basic all-around vehicle!
- 2012 BMW M3 Coupe - This is another daily driver + Track day racer....
- 2012 Audi R8 - The Everyday Supercar + Track day racer...!

I would choose
The only german car I really like is the new BMW M5 and it would be awesome to build an Ultima GTR.
- Aston Martin Virage
- Dodge Viper SRT10 (2008 and next year 2013 version)
- Ford Mustang Shelby GT500

I would spend it all on a TVR Cerebra Speed 12 but since there is only one left that might not be enough....
Three cars would be first an exotic... Lamborghini Aventador, or an Ascari a10
Second a daily driver... Mistubishi Evolution X SE... or barring that a new Roush Stage 3 Mustang
Third a track day car... an Ultima GTR because it would be AWESOME fun to build one... and drive its awesomeness....
Close second is an Ariel Atom 500 V8

Ford gt (for me), the baddest current mustang (2 of these, 1 for my father the other for my grandfather), and eleanor. Yes I came from a ford family. The money left over I would use to build a locost (think caterham 7, only super diy)
