Having worked for many years in a big city ER I'm the guy you'll see in the far right lane of the Interstate with his cruise control set at 4mph above the speed limit.

If I won a billion in the lottery I'd opt for a Porche Panamera...V6...sticker price $110,000 rather than a Vette,Ferrari,Bugatti,etc.

Although I must admit that the Bugatti Veyron Vitess that I saw in the valet parking area of the Dubai Mall a few years ago was pretty kool. Yes,it had Saudi plates. Dubai is where rich Saudis go to let their beards down...far fewer rules there than back home.

Volkswagens don’t have good resale value (not that you would mind after having $1 billion)

As for Bugatti’s - this event takes place every year (open to ALL automobiles):

I have an old Corvette, it’s a ‘94 plain jane model. I don’t drive it a lot, sometimes I take the wife out on date night in it but it has been the most fun car to drive I have ever been in. It is really difficult to hold it back. It idles around 700 RPM but will go about 35 or 40 just idling. Nothing corners like a C4 Vette that is what is most fun. Heading up a long express way ramp and getting up to 130 or so and then hitting the brakes hard to slow down to 80 before merging is great fun, something you can’t do in many cars.

I am a Kentucky native. The Corvette plant is now in Bowling Green, Kentucky. It has been there several decades now.

I thought about getting a late model or new but they just don’t look like a Vette to me.

If I won a billion in the lottery I’d opt for something collectible, like maybe Neil Peart’s AC Cobra, and keep it in protected storage except for the occasional Concours. Then I’d drive a bulletproofed 2007 Ford F-350 diesel 4x4...
