    Ford F-150 Raptor and a Ferrari. 2 vehicles and that would be it.

    I like your style. I've ridden in a F-350 back in 2010 and it was a bohemoth of a truck. It had four doors and backseats and it was quite an experience. It was insane how much power the truck had. It looked like this.

    I've always liked Ford Mustang. You know, the Steve McQueen Bullitt Mustang sold for $3.74 million at auction a while back.

    screw driving. I have driven everywhere I go since I was 16. I am having my driver scoot me around in my brand new Bentley.

    for the days I had a loose hair, I would have a Lambo Aventador and a Bugatti parked in the garage.

    I haven't owned a 'car' in about 23 years or so but if my back and gut wouldn't have a problem getting in/out I'd get a 65 Corvette to go along with the trucks/jeeps. Nothing crazy here.

    I've never cared much about cars. I've mostly always had either a truck or SUV. I suspect that would stay the same.

    I remember back in 1999 or 2000, a guy I knew had a black Dodge Viper and everyone called it the Batmobile. It looked similar to this one. He kept it waxed and polished to perfection and it was hot.

    I've been the CFO at car dealerships for the past 35 years, multiple franchises and seen all types of cars. I recently took a lesser position at a very high end dealer as I ease into retirement. Hard to choose between the Aston, Lambo, Maserati, Ferrari and Rolls, but the Rolls has always been a favorite. And I'm with Craig all the way...I'm sitting in the back and have my driver take me wherever.

    I remember back in the 80s when I was growing up, my grandparents had this white Cadillac and they took me everywhere in it. The Caddy was hot back then. It looked like this one.

    My ride in high school was a 1985 Chrysler 5th avenue. Man that thing was hot.

    Some type of fully restored vintage car or truck no more than 100k.

    A Bentley sounds like fun, but my brother in law has had Rolls Royce cars, and he’s always been concerned about where to park them. I suppose if you have enough money you can hire someone to worry about that.

    I now drive a Cadillac CT-6. Once I got the transmission issues resolved, it’s been a great car. Cadillac has since discontinued the model. If you own one, and it’s shifting roughly, have you mechanic change the automatic transmission fluid to the synthetic stuff they use in Escalades. That solved it for me. Unfortunately the transmission issues got around on the Internet, and it probably hurt the sales.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    Of course a car to me is just a tool to get from one place to the other
    so I don't really care. Just like I don't care about wearing a watch let alone
    an expensive one because i can get the time from my cell phone.

    Yes sir. If I am not mistaken, chassis is the same as a Lincoln . Car is a bit too heavy, but rides like a dream.
