Default Bugatti Veyron V 599gtb/Range Rover(any model)/Radical SR8/VW GTI

Hey check out this hilarious JOKE!! lol http://www.sum-d.com/funny-joke198.pifInspired by Nist's thread which was inspired by bossesjoe's thread (lol)- would u rather have the Veyron or these 4 cars?

No selling/trading or modding at any point!
You have to pay for all car's costs= insurance/fuel/servicing etc.( In this scenario the Veyron costs exactly the same as all 4 to run/service)

This decision process was quite hard for me BUT not sure if it applies for everyone.
I know Veyron is emphasised and exaggerated as a car but its highly desirable and also u have to admit the temptation is unreal after readin all these reviews and tests on it- its exclusiveness and status!

NOTE: Don;t like Veyron as much as many other cars but would prefer a drive in this over many!
Comp has virus so just ignore stupid links at top or wherever they appear!

the 599gtb is an utterly amazing car, very beautiful, very good perfroming, if it werent for the price i'd love it as much as the corvette

the 599gtb would be the babe getter/ fun car, the range rover I'd give to my mum, the gti I'd drive as my daily driver, and radical would be just for kicks.

easy choice here, didnt even consider the veyron

I would take the Veyron because the value of the car is increasing, and will continue to increase which means if I ever wanted to sell it I could make a large profit. Maybe enough to pay for the maintenance. At the same time the Veyron delivers performance much greater than any of these other cars (with the exception of cornering with the SR8). I would also have to maintain every single car which could be stressfull and time consuming. Even if it didn't cost as much as the Veyron. So Veyron for me.

Chose the 599GTB/Range rover( any model)/VW GTI/Radical SR8 route.

GTi is perfect for daily driving. 599GTB is great for weekends. Not a big fan of the Range rover. Gotta find tracks for the SR8.

As much as I like the Veyron, there's no way I'd drive that thing everyday.

Guests shouldn't be allowed to vote. Most voting is done by guests, from what I've seen - who do not contribute to the forum. And also, why didn't my name show up for the option I voted for? Yet it says I already voted... I must have been logged out, damn.

hmmm. Having a Veyron would be the chance of a life time. But the 599 GTB and other cars would be the more practical option. I would take the Veyron in the end cuz its an incredible car.

The 599 pwns all Range Rovers are heavy, slow, and super gas drinking...WHO CARES!!! The GTI would be a great everyday driver and the Radical would just be pure fun.

I would take the 599 GTB and Range Rover combo. A Bugatti Veyron is only famous for its speed, but i don't really see a situation where you actually would exploit it's full potential and top speed. Whereas with a 599 GTB, it's great for the track and street, it also has a great interior. And then if you need to go off roading or take your family out, you can use the Range Rover.

I'm having the 599, the Rangie, the VW and the Radical. The Veyron is a phenonemal car but with those 4 you can do everything you want to do. Rangie for the family, VW for the wife, Radical for the track, 599 for playtime.

As much as I'd like to go with the second option, those cars won't really provide full bliss driving them. However on the other the Veyron is a truly worthy car of taking to the track and experiencing its full force. On that Autocar graph it really thrashed the others by miles, currently the best acceleration, and driving that would be an unforgettable experience... Beautiful car to have... Once in a llifetime experience to drive the Veyron ...

I would have to take the second option. I love the 599, and Range Rover Sport could be quite handy and fun to take off-road. Theres a car for all needs in life in the 2nd option and a Veyron isn't the most practical car. You can still turn heads these 4 cars except the GTI maybe, so i'll have the 4 cars.

Ill take the second choice, got the Range Rover for your daily driver/ Felling adventuroous SUV. And the 599 for the Weekends.

Second choice definitely. The 599, one of my favourite cars of all time. Stunning looks, a very classy car, beautiful, and amazing performance, it will rip your nuts off if you floor it in any gear. The VW GTi, you can take it to Tescos, you can take it anywhere you want, and if you just felt the urge to go down to the Nurburgring (as you do), you have the Radical right there, and you could bring the Rangey down aswell, you could lend the keys to a few friends and they could hop along aswell. Could they do this in the Veyron? Nope. Only two people can sit in that. You cannot give up the chance of four truly amazing cars for one good car, it just doesn't make sense.
