Why wouldn't you want a One:1?
Oh I definitely would, but I think I saw the price was around 5mil? I would rather have two Agera Rs for that money. The One:1 is absolutely unreal.
EDIT: Actually, every Koenigsegg is unreal.
After taxes, with 5% interest you could bring (and taxes on the interest too) around $7m a year. There are 30,000 Fieros left, so to corner the market (@$3000 avg a piece) would take $90,000,000. If I spent $5m a year for the next 18 years, I could own all of them, and still have $2m a year to play with.
I didn't take into account that they would start becoming more valuable the more I bought.

1.) Porsche Carerra GT
2.) Ferrari F12 Berlinetta for a DD
3.) Porsche 918
4.) C7 Z06 Corvette - not being a homer, its just an amazing car and would be a car to beat the crap out of if I had the money to not care that i were beating the crap out of it.
5.) Porsche Cayenne Turbo - gotta have a baby-hauler

02-11-2015, 11:02 AM
it was not easy for me to come up with 5 vehicles....maybe I should find a new hobby.
1.) 14 VAGON - my DD
2.) 15 Range Rover - wife DD
3.) 15 F450 alum dump bed
4.) Ferrari Testarossa
5.) UGR Lambo
Bulldozers, backhoes, and bobcat's kept trying to creep up on that list....
The other problem is I don't see myself spending more than 25-30k on a vehicle...so I have no clue what newer or exotic stuff is even out there or what is even good.
