Definitely a trophy truck. That would be insane.

I thought this was a MX forum. As soon as you all can get land and build your own track, you all are out car shopping. :-)

I guess I have a different mindset.

Even with 1.6 bil, I would scour the classiest for a nice used dodge with a 24v enine and take it somewhere to have a manual injector on it so it eliminates all the bs sensors and fluff.

And I would look for a low miles klr 650 with all the farkles and set off on an around the world ride.

Look for my book and video with go pro highlights from the billionaire riding around the world on a $4000 motorcycle.

My life wouldn't change drastically, other than never having to work again.

I'd still be me, I'd just have a bigger garage.

Truth be told, I'd probably go to job interviews just to mess with people.

'61 Ferrari gt California

Funny story...
I know a guy who has a Ferrari gt who's 6'5" that didn't fit in the car he bought. Well he did what anyone would do. He got in touch with the guys from the factory that originally built his car and asked them, now easily in their 70's and 80's, if they wouldn't mind widening and lengthen the car.

Some 10yrs + later and numerous flights to Italy, he has a factory recognized original (one off) car that is amazing.
Dammit I can't find any pics!

Not nearly as cool as having a 'stretch', 1 of 1 Ferrari, but I didn't realize that one of the Cobra repro companies built a 'tall man' version until just a few years ago.

I was driving my best friend's 67 Vette roadster in this car show/parade, and in the staging area we were next to this slick looking Cobra, 427 etc. I was commiserating with the Cobra driver about how small both cars are and told him how I had to take off my left shoe to drive the Vette or else I couldn't use the clutch! I asked him if he had the same issue with his car, as he was close to my height (I'm just a hair under 6'5).

He told me he had "plenty of room" and I started laughing a little bit. Then he had me sit in the Cobra and I couldn't believe how much more room it had. I've driven a couple of the Cobra repros before and was always cramped like a sardine. Then he fessed up and told me about the stretch version he had bought. Just a few inches of legroom made it exponentially more comfortable. Still pretty tight side to side, but not terrible.

There’s actually a couple of companies that make the slightly longer Cobras now. I can’t remember the exact company that made this guy’s car, but UCC makes a stretch version now.

Backdraft Cobras have a 2" longer wheelbase with more legroom. Shelby/Superformance/Kirkham/ERA/Unique Motorcars/Factory Five are all the original 90" wheelbase if I remember right.

I have driven the GT3 on track a fair bit. I will say, it was a nice little car. Surprising how quick around a road course it was.
What it lacked in horsepower, it made up for in all around great handling. It felt slow, but lap times showed otherwise. Great car. ?

With $1.6B, I'm done driving! Get behind the wheel of a hypercar on any US highway and the story gets old, quick. Plus none of us can handle those beasts, so just load up the garage with Miatas, invite a dozen or so friends over to the track (the one you built with the $1.6B ), and have a ball!

Oh, yeah, the custom 1.8 mile road track surrounds your custom MX track and it's inventory of bikes, gear, beverages, etc. It's right over there next to the helicopter pad. And the helicopter...

Call me crazy , but I have wanted one of these Ford Escort's MK1 or MK2 for a long time. Really popular in Europe in their own race series. Just something about those little cars I have always liked. Quite a few newer cars I dig a lot too , but the Ford Escort is the shit in my eye's.
