Quoted: ETA: You are starting from scratch. You have been a pedestrian your whole life. 1. Buy a pickup of your choice (Ford, Chevy, Dodge, etc who cares..including hummer or unimog type vehicles for this particular thread) 2. Buy sports car of your choice (porsche, lambo, ferrari,Trans Am  ... etc who cares)@Ohiogators @DK-Prof Yes I know you could buy both with $100M, but the point is which would you buy first, which would you actually RATHER have? I've got both already, but we'd be making a call to Koenigsegg or Pagani. |

I'd drop my QX4 off at the infiniti dealer and tell them to unfuck all is problems and since they are also the Porsche dealer I'd buy a 911 to drive until my Infiniti is fixed up.

The pickup type vehicle would be more versatile and would allow me to get back into wheeling. However, the experience of the sports car would be more accessible and I would get more enjoyment out of it on a day to day basis, so it wins in this poll.

Pickup. Probably a new Tacoma, with the maximum capabilities (4x4, off road, double cab, etc) and the 4 cylinder engine. I'd use my clout to get them to build exactly what I wanted, even if it meant paying more to get it. (They have gone on again and off again on putting the 4cyl in a double cab, but for me they would have to put it in a double cab 4x4).
It would have a vault onboard to carry a few pounds of gold and silver coins, to ensure I could always get to where I need to go, or back home (but normally I'd just pay with a cash rewards credit card). There would also be room for a dedicated truck gun and all the essentials of a get home kit. On the outside, it would look like any other Tacoma, for the ultimate rich gray man's vehicle. |

I have a pickup, and I'd see no reason to get rid of it or upgrade. It would remain my daily driver.
I'd buy a Ferrari. But not a modern one, a classic. Maybe something like a 250 Berlinetta Lusso or something like that. Plus an Austin Healey 100, and a BMW 3.0 CSL, and an Alfa 2000 Veloce, and a .... eta: This one is for sale right now, as we speak, for $2.4M That would be my first phone call, without hesitation.

I’d buy a third or fifth generation El Camino. Then I’d take it to whoever’s the current incarnation of Carrol Shelby and tell them to turn it into a high performance road car. “Do what you gotta do. Oh, and by the way, have someone build me a two-speed rear end in case I want to pull 1500 pounds of trailer now and then. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. I don’t give a damn. Just do it. Here’s a hundred grand. Call me when that’s gone. Now get cracking, Sugar.”
Then I’d go to the DMV and order up a set of vanity plates: KMAMF. |

Give only those two choices and not having any other cars per OP, I'd get the truck first. I don't even particularly like daily driving a truck, but it makes the most sense.
The other nice thing about going truck first is that its a little less of a shopping experience. Its going to take me a while to figure out what sports car(s) I'll want. I have the most driving experience with Porsches, but with 100m sitting around, I may want something more exotic, and that's not a decision you make in a day. |

Lol at this thread's poverty mindset.
 People with $100 Million: A) don't keep it in the bank B) don't touch dirty things with their hands. That includes towing and hauling things. C) rent out tracks and supercars when the urge to go fast hits them. |
