I see websites and TV shows displaying the toys of the wealthy; espcially their cars. So, Mr. Gates, what toys would you have? Keep it simple, not massive descriptions or too many pics. Mabye a car per day of the week say;)

Gt car: JZZ30. IJZ @ 500ps Estate: Audi RS6 stockLuxo: Q45 TT @ 500hp (I wanna run S600s)Sports Car: FD3S. Most expensive car in my garage next to Super Car: Carrera GT - I would pay a professional driver to take it around a track for me as well, so I could hear the motor and exhaust from afar. Pure magic. Nothing sounds better save the F1 V10.

I'd build my subaru into a venerable rallycar, and then I'd have me a G35 built to hell, but sleeper style, as my daily driver.

And I'd get an F150 lightning, just to have a truck, or maybe a Tundra with the TRD offroad package.

GT Car: Mine's R34 GT-RLuxury: BMW M5 w/UUC goodiesSports Car: Noble M12 GTODrift Car: Toyota Chaser Touring Mk. V (1JZ) 500ps (I'll pay to crash test some and legalize it, I am Bill Gates after all)VIP Car: Junction Produce tuned Toyota Celsior. Diana Interior, air suspension, Deep Dish wheels, the works.Supercar(s): Nissan R390 and Porsche GT2Vintage cars: Bugatti T-59, Mercedes 300SL Gullwing, PGC-10 "Hakosuka" Skyline GT-R.

I think I'd also build a nice, smooth, perfect circuit track around the perimeter of the estate, complete with an extensive garage. Spare wheels/tires on hand, any tool imaginable, lifts, and an on-premises gas pump dispensing both pump and race gas.

I'd get Best Motoring to film a battle at my house:-D

That's easy:

--Black R-34 400R--1969 Chevrolet Chevelle SS with a blown (roots) 572 (black with red racing stripes)2004 Ferrari 575 M Maranello with the GTC Handling package (this one red)--My J30 Max modded just like I want it: Blown VQ40DE, 17 inch Volk LE37's (gunmetal)--Z32 TT pushed to its limits. Also black.--And, just for the hell of it, a Stageo. Because they look pimpin'! And its an R-chassis.--And while I'm at it, a Delorean DMC12. Because stainless steel and gullwing doors are both pimpin'. I'd drop a VK56 in it and have one hell of a muscle car!!!

I would never soil my driveway with Merc footprints. The DB9 is neat, but too flash. I might go for a 612 over my JZZ30, but I dunno.

Project Car: 1991 JDM FC3S GT-R, Scoot spec 26B, RE Super G tuned everything else.

It kinda surprises me that with a fortune, guys here would pick as their track car an underpowered $2000 sporty coupe. Talk about setting your sights low.

Hmmm. If I had a fortune:

Daily driver/commuter: Rs6 or M5 collectibles: Ferrari 275 GTB4 Spyder NART (they only built 6) plus re-acquiring the Ferrari my father had. For Going out with the family: A8L or S500SUV: probably a Toyota Land CruiserFun at the track vehicle: GT3, or 550 Maranello cup challenge car. tow vehicle truck rig complete with nice trailer to haul 2-3 cars + tires, tools, mechanic + friends/family.

Vintage racer fun car for historic races: Ferrari 330P4. or old Ferrari F1 racer, or perhaps anoriginal shelby competition cobra.

Track car for my son to learn on - Lotus Elise.
