If I were Filthy Rich
By DARBSTAR+30 What car would you buy? What do rich people use their sports cars for?
I've never been into cars but I'd like a nice one like an Aston Martin but I just don't know if I'd ever use it. I'd never want to park it anywhere and where would you go in it? You can't go shops because it's not big enough for shopping and can't go pub because you'd want to drink.

+20 @BortlesWikipediClub Man just a decent truck with working AC would be a good start
+14 @Buckar007 Earthroamer. Where I’m going, I don’t need roads….
+10 @weinermcgee I'd own every kind of classic car. I'd have doubles of the cars. Some of them. That way I know I have a pristine one in storage. Then I can drive it, it gets scratched, I don't care. Actually I have triples of the Barracuda. I have triples, right? If I don't have triples then the other stuff's not true. Actually, I also have triples of the Roadrunner too. But just those two. And your dad and I are the same age and I'm rich and I have triples of the Barracuda and the Roadrunner... Whoa this is good news. That deal went through. Alright, that's gonna work out. I have triples of the Nova now. Triples makes it safe. Triples is best.
+10 @ElTel88 They buy what we call Chelsea Tractors (aka, large SUVs that are far too big for their intended use, aka - people dropping their kids off in central London 2 miles down the road at school in a Range Rover). Because they're big, roomy and comfortable and above all, safe in a car crash. The showy rich will buy a super car of some sorts, that they gun in central London for the kudos, but will almost certainly never race except on the Motorway occasionally. Again, these cars are symbols of wealth, racing them at full pelt is likely to wreck them (very, very few people are capable of using a Ferrari at it's peak performance) which is unsafe. If you're rich, you do not want to get hurt because (I assume) it's awesome being rich. The truly rich will have an expensive Mercedes that they will never, ever drive. They get driven by someone so that they can use the time in commuting for business. You do also get the "ethical" rich, those who, despite living in massive houses, flying 1000s of miles a year more than any of us would, formerly bought Prius' will now drive fully electric cars (B.Gates, Larry David etc) they will own 42 other cars, the likes of which hubcaps cost more than your car, but they make sure they are seen driving the ethical choice for the publicity. FWIW, if I won the Lottery, I would have an Electric Car. I would have something sensible with good range (Tesla Model S, Merc EQE), I would also probably own a "weekend fun" car that I just love looking at. It's not a great car, it is a temperamental bitch per the owners' forums, but the [Alfa Romeo 4C](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfa_Romeo_4C) is the only car I have ever seen in person that I had to do 40 laps around it in a car park, just admiring it, that I think I could bring myself to buy and keep. Given I am rich in this Hypothetical, I can afford the work needed to enjoy using it on 10 weekends a year to justify it.
