Default TV: How the lottery changed my life-SC 430!

Just watched show and one of the multi-millionaire lottery winners first bought a used cadillac escalade, then traded it in for a mercedes convertible, and finally her dream come true-a (used) sc 430. The show continued to show the sc several times. If you could have any car you wanted, what would it be? I have a feeling I would still own an sc 430, among others. My new house would have to garage many, including my SC. Jay Leno has the right idea.

Ha, I saw the same episode today on TLC! It was a black SC with the pie plates. I would def. still have my SC430 but I would probably buy a Porsche Cayenne GTS and a Ferrari 458 Italia. lol, man I hope I win the lottery.

I think I would have to go with an Aston Martin V12 Vantage or if I won enough millions the One-77. Mmmmmmmm. I would keep my SC for top down cruising since I prefer the hard convert top over the rag top. I am picky with my imaginary millions!

Mine would be the Aston Martin "Casino Royale" Vanquish! Although I did get to drive my friend's 2011 R8 V10 last week.... fastest car I've ever been in, let alone having a chance to drive it like an Audi test driver! It's AWD, sticks like glue and is totally sick... full throttle acceleration from 5mph feels like getting rear ended at a stoplight by a car doing 60.... Very impressive to say the least. I will never be the same.... put it on my list!

My dream car is the car I have just purchased - a 2006 SC 430! with low mileage (39000 miles) in Twilight Amethyst with an unmarked Black interior.

Wow, an 06 with low miles. Jackpot. Post pics please. At least you do not need to upgrade to the LED tails and GEN 4 NAV, LOL! And a refreshed front.

My next other SC will be an 06 or +.

I was asked this question not too long ago and quickly realized I would want too many cars, especially of the same purpose/bodystyle, so I'd have to have one of each type of car to satisfy my appetite:

1 Large SUV= Lexus LX570
1 Convertible= Aston Martin DB9 in rare yellow or rare red
1 Coupe Hard top= Maserati Gran Turismo
1 Sedan= Bentley Continental Flying Spur
1 Pickup= Lincoln Mark Series Truck
1 Small SUV= Porsche Cayenne GTS Turbo
1 Fuel Efficient, Compact Car: Mazda Miata Hardtop Convertible or Mini Cooper S Vert

Daily Driver: 2007 SC TooCool's or Vietprince's 2002 Neiman Marcus! LOL
