Imagine winning $50 million in Powerball – the possibilities are endless. No more budget constraints on your car choices. But what’s the most expensive car you’d actually enjoy driving? The author reflects on their own preferences, admitting that even with an unlimited budget, they’d be hesitant to drive a rare, low-number collectible like a McLaren F1. The thrill of ‘hooning’ such a valuable car would be overshadowed by the worry of damaging it.
For the author, a more practical choice would be a Corvette Z06. Priced around $130,000, it’s a high-performance car that doesn’t feel like a museum piece. If it got damaged, it wouldn’t be a catastrophic loss – they could simply get another one. This pragmatic approach to car enjoyment is put to the readers in the form of a question: What’s the most expensive car you can see yourself actually enjoying or ‘hooning’?
