I went with the R34. But with money not an object, I would be flanked by two black Town Cars with armed thugs inside at all times.

Am I the only SUV lover? Plus I can hardly go a block around here without a speed bump or pothole. Ohio has to have some of the worst paved roads in the country.

Already drove a Carrera GT and I'll likely drive a V-10 M5 soon, so I guess it's between the R34 and the Fit.....Hmmmm. OK twist my arm, I'll choose the R34. It's also refreshing to participate in a poll that does not include a 240SX or farted-in slacks.

Well, the CGT is a sweet ride and all, so I voted for that, but my #1 pick isn't on this list.

I'd take a Dauer 962 Le Mans. Fiendishly impractical for...well....ANYTHING but pwnzing people, but I'll take the bus to work if I could have one of these:







It's is a Porsche 962 racecar that has been *rarely* civilized. I suspect that if they ever put a comparison together on equivalent tires, it would hand most modern supercars their collective arses. It's original stat numbers were considerably limited by the tires that it was tested with, and owners have managed to beat the original numbers by substantial margins with modern tires.

If money were no object, I sure as hell wouldn't drive the same car all the time.

For the sake of the thread, I'm still in love with the Aston Martin V8 Vantage. It's a car that's extravagant, yet I wouldn't feel afraid to actually drive it... even though it's a Ford...

I voted for the Carrera GT because it stands apart from the rest. It looks more like a driving machine and less like a car if that makes any sense. Though if money wasn't an issue, I'd have to go for something like a Peugeot 907. I mean if a straight 6 is sweet, then a V12, which is like two 6's, has got to be better, right?

Oh and maybe a 206 or Xsara WRC spec as a daily driver.

I've always wanted a Ferrari 360 Modena. Just practical enough to drive, just ferrari enough to be amazing.

Well, since we seem to have abandoned "the 8" choices...I'll revise my answer to once again reiterate that, given unlimited cashflow, I would drive a Dinan-tuned twin turbo E38 BMW 750il. Black on black. With no external badging to betray it's true nature. I'd drive it every damn day. A lot.
