If I win the lottery tonight, I'm buying this.

Perfect color, 6MT instead of F1, matching read and black carbon fiber seats, Tubi exhaust, AND GTS. Damn that car is beautiful.

I agree completely. For ~100K, a poseur 997GT3 is a far better buy. This would be a weekend, nice weather car that I would keep for MANY years.

My family (4 siblings, parents) tend to buy 10 tickets split 5 ways when the lottery gets huge, so after taxes, donations, etc, I'd "only" take hoem ~15M. Lots of money, but not Enzo money. F355, GT3, MCS for the wife, keep the V70R and that is probably it. Maybe an used, big SUV for certain situations too.

I'd buy some ricer stuff for my Civic. Like stickers, a big rear wing, fart tip, paint the hood black. You know, the usual stuff.

I don't understand how people can afford housing and basic everyday items on 15 mil, let alone an enzo.

This takes FC-style planning to a whole new level.

It truly is hideous.

I figure of the ~15M, 10M put away in investments should generate .5 to 1M a year without much difficulty. The other 5M buys any properties, cars, and any other durable goods I can fathom. Over time, I may crank it up a notch, but to start, a 355 and a GT3 will keep me happy for a while.

Dammit, the Ferrari has been removed. Too bad.
