And you know what also would be great...

An F550 chassis cab with a dump body, or even F600...maybe even an F650 with the dump body.

yes, that's the tough part of thst scenario. In my case, I have a family and I have to haul stuff from time to time, so, the car I would want can't do that. I need a truck or SUV but there is no truck or SUV that I want. Maybe the Cybertruck but that one is not available. I have a 2 year old reservation and I'll certainly have to wait years until I get mine.

The URUS is an amazing looking vehicle. The interior is unbelievable. I recently got to drive one. My business partner has one.

The 2023 Ford GT Mk IV
Limited Edition. Unlimited Exhilaration.
Simply put, the 2023 Ford GT Mk IV is the last of its kind. This final track-only model boasts the superior aerodynamics, extreme performance and razor-sharp handling that befits America’s original Le Mans winning car. And to honor the original 1967 racing legend, only 67 of them will be built. By hand.
You could still get it but if you want to drive on the street, you would have to be a passenger.

I'm surprised that you can get a GT under $1M.. They make very very few of them and therefore the collector's value is pretty high.
The price on Autotrader says: Call Dealer which means it is high..

If I had the $$$$ laying around, a Ford GT would be in my garage as well as a Aventador and a Pininfarina Battista.
If I won in the lottery, most of my millions would be spent on cars

I will keep what I have, what I have earned!!
My four are fine, keep me happy.
No rationale to get rid of them for a supercar that I could not drive daily, and costs $6K for an oil change.
Besides, the wifey is very concerned many more babes would pursue me if I pulled up in a Chiron.

This 'may' be the only vehicle to change my stance:

The following conditions apply:

1) you can't make money off the vehicle (i.e. by renting out the vehicle or any other way to profit from the vehicle)
2) you can never sell the vehicle. If it breaks or you don't want it anymore, it will be crushed. Once the car is gone you can drive and own any other car again.
3) during ownership of that vehicle, you may NOT own or drive any other vehicles (including business, family or friend's vehicles)
(all the vehicles you currently have will be taken from you and you get fair market value)



Do you
a) accept the offer
or
b) reject the offer

If you choose a), what vehicle would you want for free as your ONLY vehicle ?
b) reject the offer

In my current situation, I would reject it as well..
If I was single or married without kids, I would accept it.

I hate to be passenger and most of my driving is with my kids in the car, so I couldn't drive the car of my choice...
