Well..I really cant decide, so before i change my mind again....

Liberty GT for Daily (+ $10k for mods)
300c + blower
Audi R8

Any leftover money spent counseling after my crazy, pregnant and hormonal missus leaves me for spending too much time with my cars...

Dream rides with the $500k:
Tow car (land when I’m feeling lazy) – BMW 335i automatic with a Quafe LSD / Alpina B3
Fun car 1 (dry) – PRB Composite clubman with a Honda S2000 driveline
Fun car 2 (wet?) – Borland Shelby Daytona coupe (Like P Brock drove) with an LS7

In reality I’ll have 3 cars soon (with considerably less than $500k, more like $50k)
Tow car (coming within 18 months) – probably one of the domestics
Daily driver – 7 year old Honda (economical, owes me zilch & I still enjoy it!)
Track Car – an old Datsun

Say you've won $500k in Lotto and you have a 3-car garage to fill. Choose your weapons.

THE RULES
1. You have a maximum of $500,000 to spend on a dream garage. You can spend less but not more.
2. Your maximum three cars must be current production models and road registrable in Australia.
3. Each car must fulfill one of the following criteria:
- Can be used as a daily driver
- Can carry four adults & luggage
- Can be used as a weekend track car
So, playing by the rules:

Daily: FG Falcon G6ET $54,990
4 Adults & Luggage: FG FPV F6 $65,990
Track Day Car: Porsche 911 Turbo $334,400

Total $455,380

Not, playing by the rules

Daily: FG Falcon G6ET $54,990
4 Adults & Luggage: Restored XM Falcon with XR6T driveline & RRS suspension Approx $35k
Track Day Car: Ford US GT Approx $240k or Little Aussie Race Car $45k

Total $330k or $135k

2008 Ford Shelby GT500 Mustang with a couple of Roush Performance parts.

Will do me for a daily, weekend and track/strip car. 600-700hp from a daily driver should fulfill the task nicely.
