What would you drive if you have all the money in the world?

I found this list of What Celebrities Drive, but no Bimmers, except Kristen Cavallari


... and Brad Pitt - way to go, a Bimmer! Oh, wait, BMW picked him to ride on the Hydrogen 7:


Pierce Brosnan - of course, an Aston Martin


Ryan Seacrest - also an Aston Martin


Kevin Costner - drives an Audi S8 (pictured) and a Audi Q7.


Samuel Jackson - Maybach


Paris Hilton - MB / McLaren SLR


Britney Spears - MB CLK


George Clooney - Tango 600, electric 2 seater


Jay Leno - All of the above, and the some!!! including this Bentley


Full list here

There is another post around here about what the wealthiest CEO's drive. Bill Gates drives 1999 and 1988 Porsches. Wait, and Warrent Buffett and Steve Ballmer drive 10 years old Lincoln Continentals. OK, I drive a BMW, and I am an employee - I get it, I will never be rich... and look at the economy, I might even get poor.

Bill Gates has a piece of paper signed by Bill Clinton just so he can drive his porsche 959.

Yeah, I read that - it's an imported car that didn't meet emission specs, so needed an special favor to drive it legally.

Judging by what he's done for the country, I think he deserves it.

Actually, I kind of like what I drive now. In a few years, I'm thinking I'll go for an Aston Martin Vantage or Bentley Continental GT - something less spartan, but still high performance. You can find both for under $100k now. The other alternative would be to keep the M Coupe but add an older RR or Bentley - I'd love a chrome bumper Corniche coupe made from 1967-1973, discontinued in 1981. Roomy, rare, nice-looking.

There are a good handful of 959's here now, and increasing.

Here's a little info written by Pcar928fan at FChat:
"..But in short, Wallace Environmental Test Labs (WETL) in Houston did the first one in the mid/early '90's. They still do them, but Canepa did the VAST majority of them here in the US. Gates was NOT the first, but he was INSTRUMENTAL in the "show and display" law that allows these cars to be brought in without having to go through FULL certification. Show and display (unless they fixed this...how it slipped through in the first place is beyond me) still required EPA certs, but not DOT... Like I said they may have fixed that and in a few years it will be a moot point anyway. Either DOT or EPA (not sure which) falls off at 20 years and the other falls off at 25 years. So, once a 959 hits 25 years old, it will be a piece of cake to bring it in! NOTHING will be needed! Start saving now boys!..."

Read here:

For me, pretty much every single exotic that's ever been made. The first 4 to be bought though would be 288GTO, F40, F50, Enzo.

That is fun, but what's up with the Brad Pitt picture? Either the Hydrogen 7 stands really tall, or Brad Pitt is pretty short.
