    Depending on how much you won, buying a few cars for your family might not make a difference :)

    Exactly.. If I ever won, I am going to some undisclosed location in Europe... Build a moat around my house followed by an extremely rough and secluded driveway.... and then I would 3 Uni-Mogs for myself.

    My parents are well off but could careless about what they drive and what I would buy them They aren't car people. My dad wouldn't mind another boat though.

    I agree on giving expensive cars as gifts are bad ideas. I would rather pay off my family members' bills or add the cars to my collection and lend them out. Maintenance and insurance would be a burden on the recipient IMO.

    Dad: 1967 Shelby GT500 or Daytona Spyder
    Mom: Ferrari California
    Brother: F430 Scuderia or NSX
    Sister: M6 convertible
    Me: F40 and F50

    Mom: 68 Corvette convertible with modern engine, transmission and brakes. She`s always wanted one as a shopping-car.
    Dad: He`s pretty happy with his 996, so that`s difficult... Something moore track-biased perhaps? A Cayman with all the mecanical parts from a GT3RS.
    Sister and brother in law: So NOT interested in cars or taking care of them. A Lexus RX400h would probably do the trick. Reliabel, safe, comfortable and free of congestioncharge.

    This is just for fun seeing what you would buy for your family members. I would probably do what would do as well.

    Hm, interesting thread!

    Dad - An original 427 Cobra. He loves 'em.
    Mom - Probably any kind of new Lexus, like a LX570.
    Sister - She'd be really hard to buy for, I'm not sure what she'd like. Probably something simple like a Mustang GT, she likes those I think.
    Girlfriend (Not family but I'd kinda feel obligated to buy her something) - Mazda RX8 or Nissan 370Z. She loves both those.

    Myself - Saleen S7 TT, maybe a Maserati MC-12 also.

    EDIT: I'd definitely have to hook my best friend up, too. He'd probably take an Aston Martin Vanquish S.

    Mom: Mercedes R-Class (she loves Mercedes but she's scared of anything with over 180hp)

    Brother: Blank cheque to buy whatever he wants (pretty sure he would want a Cayenne GTS and an Aston Martin DBS

    Best friend (practically my brother): Range Rover Sport and a 997 Carrera

    Me: As many uniquely optioned Stradales as I could find

    Father's side of the family: A picture of the cheque with my name on it (I hate them)

    Mother's side of the family: Nothing. Even after winning the lottery, they would probably still be better off than me

    All get S8s. Dad gets any Ferrari of his choice and whatever Truck he wants and basically any thing else he wants. Mom would not want any thing but the A8. Bros would get a truck, Ferrari, and Porsche or two....

    My parents aren't into cars at all so they would probably be bothered with a Bentley-priced car which they didn't appreciate.

    Mom & Dat: BMW X6 : Ford F-250 King Ranch Diesel : Mercedes E-Class

    Brother & Sister-in-law: Ford Raptor SVT : Ferrari F430 : BMW M5
