You are allowed ANY three cars...

    So here's a fun conversation we had the other day. The scenario:

    You win the lottery. Obviously this means you're going new-car shopping. However due to zoning laws, you're only allowed three cars. You decide to get cars that meet the following criteria:
    First car: A very very fast car.
    Second car: A "looker" that will turn heads (may or may not be fast, but something that will get constant stares from young & old).
    Third car: A family sedan (most likely a 4-door) that you (or your chauffeur) can take the whole family around in. (Trucks / Hummers etc. permissible, as long as they can seat your family and kids).

    Remember, the budget is unlimited, but you have to limit your choices to three cars. And they all have to be street legal - registered, insured, pass inspection/emissions, etc. You can have your racecar stored off-site somewhere...

    And you can define "fast" for the first car... acceleration? Cornering? Both?

    The idea is to buy *new* cars, but since we're all gearheads I suppose we could allow a musclecar in there... (But not something to be modified - something you buy and drive as-is...)

    What three cars would you buy?
