There are some cool *things* on this thread, no doubt. Some of the answers just seem like lottery winner choices. Lottery winners usually wind-up miserable. (And frequently broke).

LOL. Your pic is so large, this computer would only load it a bit at a time, scrolling down from the top.

At first I wondered, hmmm, for what exotic car does McLovin lust? Then, as I started seeing the trees and fence I realized ha, it must be the exotic-est of all exotics, a mighty 928!

A pic any smaller would be a grave injustice to that exotic automobile.

I love that commercial . .

but Laudas MP4/2 in particular represents a lot of what was really special about F1 back in the day. (For me; Your mileage will vary)

Wow! I'd love to have one of those too - but what is that ugly green thing with the big butt parked in front of it?

Hell yeah, that's what I'm talking about. I love that video. The change of the exhaust notes throughout is fantastic. My heart lies with the older cars, but even the new cars that scream are amazing to hear.

I'd be happy with this one


or this one...

Yeah, I'm easy, Lotus, McLaren, Ferrari, whatever. I'm sure there are 1000 cool F1 cars that I'd love to have. The hard part would be picking just one.
