Your $2,000,000 Dream Garage: Bugatti or Not?
John Beltz Snyder
Recently, Winding Road contributor Rex Roy spent some time driving the 2009 Bugatti Grand Sport . The car—one single unit—dons a price tag that begins at 1.4 million Euros. That is the rough equivalent to $2 million here in the States ($2,010,820 if we’re going to split hairs).
If you had that chunk of cash to spend on an automobile, would you go with the Bugatti? Or are you like us, and would buy several less expensive, but perhaps more suitable vehicles? And if so, what would your $2 million dream garage consist of?

I would buy several less expensive cars. If I wanted a 1000 plus hp car, I'd opt for a Gallardo with Underground Racing's or Heffner's turbo kits.
EDIT: Well, since everyone is showing theirs....
Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 (with aforementioned turbo kit)
Maserati Quattroporte (used one with DuoSelect tranny)
Porsche 356 Outlaw
BMW E92 M3 Coupe (used one then add supercharger or turbo kit)
Ferrari 275 GTB4 (can be had for a mere $1.3 million USD)

No Bugatti in my garage.
Lotus Elise S
Lotus Evora
Ariel Atom
... then I'd likely lease out Daily drivers...
Boring garage I know, but I'd rather have a small garage of exotic cars and know their quirks.

No Bugatti for me. Cool car, but I would buy several others for the same money, and have plenty leftover for the house/garge to put them all in.
Aston Martin DB9 for the daily driver
Maserati Quattroporte for the family car
Ferrari 458 for the 'fun' car (Nope, haven't driven it but good god just LOOK at it)
And since we're dreaming, a Ferrari F50 to fill the supercar slot.

Love the Bugs stats...however I would have the: 2009 Lamborghini Gallardo LP550, 2009 Aston Martin DBS Volante, 2009 Mercedes SL550 Roadster V8, 2009 Bentley Continental Flying Spur, 2009 Jaguar XK convertible, and that Ford GT40 in the background. With the rest I'd buy a 3bed 3 bath home with a four car garage paid for from interest on the 700 thou I loaned to the banking institutions at 14% per quarter.
