I did think of one very expensive car I might consider, a Bentley Mulsanne.
Why a Bentley over a Rolls? To me, a Rolls interior, and that beautiful chrome Flying Lady out on the hood in front of you (which, BTW, retracts under the hood when parked, so kids can't damage or steal it) is probably the ultimate in automotive plushness.......even more so than the German Maybach. Also, from what I understand, Rolls interiors, since each one is hand/built, can be special-ordered with virtually any kind of color, trim, pattern, wood, aluminum, or carbon-fiber trim you want......which, of course, befits the price.

I don't like the look of the current Rolls. The Mulsanne however IMHO is gorgeous
Okay, after further thought (and if I could be in a secluded place away from the idiot drivers I encounter on the roads) just about any late-model Aston Martin would do.

I always liked the V12 Vantage. Take the V12 from the larger DB9/DBS and cram it in the smaller car that normally has a V8. Plus you could get the V12 Vantage with a manual transmission as well.
and could only buy one car for the rest of your life, which car would you choose and why?
the car does not have to be new
the car does not have to be used
the car has to be functional at the time of purchase
the car will be your daily driver
you cannot turn around and sell the car you just bought in order to buy another
if you are married, this car will be your family's sole vehicle
you can only buy one car!
GO!

i think that i'd choose the new lc 500 because i'd want something easy to daily drive that isn't likely to give me any major headaches. i mean, the car is gorgeous and has the reliability we all know lexus is famous for. i also don't need more than another seat for my passengers as i'm married and don't have kids with no plans of having kids ever. if i ever want to take on more passengers, i can always go to hertz.
