When I mentioned no limit... I did not mean buy everything under the sun.
I meant, what would make you happy? Which car? What kind of garage? What kind of house?
To some, it's just one fun toy besides their daily. To some it is 10 very different cars.
I am very curios to see what the answers are... no limit means = whatever would truly make you happy.
sure, I understand the question. but ultimately, one needs to spend within their means to be happy... and we all have different means. based on increasing disposable income it would probably look something like this:
Stage 1: a fast practical daily driver: M3 or C63S or RS4 wagon
Stage 2: more practical SUV and a weekender: X5, GLE, SQ7 or Cayenne and Boxster Spyder or GT3T in no soft top climate
Stage 3: as above but add track car: GT3RS or GT2RS
Stage 4: as above but add classic supercar: Carrera GT or 458 Speciale
Stage 5: as above but add hyper car: 918 or la Ferrari
Stage 6: as above but add collectors car: 991Speedster or 991R or 997 sport classic
Stage 7: as above but add more and more classic unobtainium: 74RS, original 911R, 959, Singer, RUF etc
Somewhere around stage 4 would probably be enough as by stage 7 things are getting pretty futile- why would another car make one happy after so many before haven't. If looking for true happiness, I think the real answer is whatever is in your garage- being content with what you have is true happiness. Put it another way: "Comparison is the thief of joy" - Roosevelt. No point in looking at what others have, being able to be comfortable with where you are at right now is the true key to happiness.
Obviously a flawed question because you could of course choose one of everything and even with the rider you can only choose only what makes you happy you could still choose one of everything. Anyway, here goes:
Jaguar e-type low drag
250 SWB
3.0 RS
RS 4.0
Mac F1

Stage 1: a fast practical daily driver: M3 or C63S or RS4 wagon- Check, Chevy SS M6
Stage 2: more practical SUV and a weekender: X5, GLE, SQ7 or Cayenne and Boxster Spyder or GT3T in no soft top climate- Check, Macan GTS
Stage 3: as above but add track car: GT3RS or GT2RS- Check, Racecar SRF3
Stage 4: Porsche GT car- Check, GT3
Stage 5: Truck and Trailer- Check F350 DRW, TPD 3 Axle trailer
Stage 6: as above but add classic car: Carrera GT or 458 Speciale- Open, want a 356 SC Carrera
Stage 7: as above but add hyper car: 918 or la Ferrari- Beyond this too much!
Stage 8: as above but add collectors car: 991Speedster or 991R or 997 sport classic
Stage 9: as above but add more and more classic unobtainium: 74RS, original 911R, 959, Singer, RUF etc- OK, maybe a Singer, LOL

Fixed it for you, LOL...

Ugh, yes join the club- I need a six car garage with loft and a really, really nice barn! A house next to it would be nice, but not necessary.

I love it... the list of cars is amazing. And completely agree with you about comparison. However, one must look around to know what one does not yet know.
I think about that from time to time. My practical side says when would I drive a whole fleet. If I had that much wealth and hopefully TIME why not pursue other dreams. Dreams like racing lol. My goal is to eventually go racing and I would like to at least be competitive. AMG GT4 running in VLN would be the pinnacle for me. All the road cars don't matter that much to me. I guess maybe a 812SF to go with the GT3 I have now. Oh and a ridiculously over the top loaded Panamera Sport Turismo GTS for a DD.
By my very rough estimate, that's roughly a little over $1 million in vehicles. more realistically, if I could only get one from each category, I would add the Range Rover and H1 to my RS and I'd have a 'complete' collection for my tastes/needs. biggest challenge for me is getting the garage space - I need to buy a bigger house to fit more cars and that obviously takes money out of the car budget. woe is me...
Daily: Singer 4.0
Sunday/trackday: Williams Singer
Camping/mtb adventure wagon: I'd buy back my old 92 Dodge W250 4X4 and spend an unsightly amount on restoration and a fashion grey respray. I loved that truck as much as any car I've owned. It was big and loud and rode like ****.
