The trouble with some of the "supercar" rides is the maintenance. Cars like McLaren, Veyron, Enzo, etc cost as much for routine maintenance as a normal sporty cars purchase price.

That's kinda' why I like the NSX. It uses a lot of normal Honda parts in it. Certainly not all, but I understand the maintenance is much cheaper than a typical "supercar". (Some people probably wouldn't consider it a supercar, but it's better than average I think.)

That is why the Audi R8 is great - the every day supercar...

1 page back someone posted up Vintage Ferrari's which are sweet. Wasn't a big fan of the F40 when it first came out but it grew on my overtime. Not a big fan of the current Ferrari's out though

Go back a page and you'll see a couple I posted up - I'm a huge Ferrari fan. I saw a sweet F40 driving down the street when I was in Italy. The sound was insane!

F650s are so overkill. Definitely enough room to haul a large family though! Could get a pretty decent RV for the price too.

The TDI R8 would be awesome for a car, and for a truck, Id go with the Jeep Hurricane. 4WS, dual V8 Hemis with 670HP, mmmmm. A Production version of the Jeep Renegade concept would also be on the list for trucks.

My "realistic" dream car right now would have to be a Gen 1 Audi TT Quattro Coupe though.
