THE world's ten most expensive cars include such dreams-come-true as a street-legal, ten-cylinder Porsche race car, the Carrera GT, and cars with over 1000 horse power (HP) each.

These kinds of cars make Ferraris and Aston Martins look like relative bargains; despite their fame, they are much cheaper than the cars on the Forbes list. Of the ten most expensive cars, only two are made by brands with household names, Porsche and Mercedes-Benz, although that depends on what your household is like.

OMG!! I'm going to have to go out and apply for welfare and food stamps right away, all I have is an '04 Navigator. Will someone please send me alms IMMEDIATELY.

i'd blow any of them away with my '93 Geo Metro! :)

I sorta like the Maybach as a daily driver, and the GT40 for fun here in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Surprised the Enzo did not make the cut.

I believe its out of production now.

One of these things is supposed to do 260 mph on the track. Montana here I come :)

With the gas mileage, right?

I'll stick with my 49 DeSoto.

For us non-Montanans, the question remains "how fast can you go 55 mph?"

gearhead ping!! Car porn alert...

[GW and Twins Pawpaw]

The speed limit on Montana's Interstates is 75. Been in effect since '97, I think.

I saw a red one in Sarasota the other day.

[reagan_fanatic]

Oooh, that's sweet!

My buddy Rob is a SSC dealer. He has about 5 in his garage.

I have not driven one, and I didn't ask to either- but I'm sure the puddle of drool on the garage floor spoke for itself.

[theDentist]

Pay close attention: I was the consultant.

[Echo Talon]

ehh, yea.. :)

[Netheron]

Dunno, cue up the Sammy Hagar and find out.
