Which 3 Cars Would You Own For The Rest Of Your Life?

I recently read John Philips column in my March issue of Car&Driver, and he brought up a highly intriguing prospect. He writes: "Imagine, for a moment, that you could own any three cars in the infinite cosmos of cars. But the vehicles you select must remain in your possession until you die. Between 6 feet above, and 6 under, you can't sell them, can't will them to heirs. Now what?" This question got proposed to many, and this is what they had to say:

----------------

Daniel Pund: Mercedes-Benz E63, Lancia Stratos, Dodge Coronet

Michael Jordan: Ferrari 430, Pontiac Firebird, Porsche 911 GT3

Keith Martin: Alfa Romeo Giula, GTV, Duetto

Eddy Alterman: Ferrari 250, Mercedes-Benz E63, Ford GT

----------------

Interesting choices, each one undoubtedly special for some reason, but I though I would give it a go. You know I really love cars, so I took this seriously, as you probably would expect. 3 hours later, theses are my picks:

---------------

MCLAREN 570: THE EXOTIC

What is it? It is McLaren's entry level supercar, essentially the innocent little brother compared to the more aggressive 720S, 765Lt, Senna, 600LT, etc.. While it cannot compete with its brothers on a track, you might even argue the 570 is the most enjoyable of them all. With its lightweight frame, it is a joy to toss around the back roads, especially with the roof down. While it only costs 175K, it looks like a million-dollar car, with its captivating design. Rated 10/10 by several sources, this is the exotic car I'd spring for.

ASTON-MARTIN DBX: THE EVERY-DAY DRIVER

As we both know, sometimes you just gotta' have something practical. After all, nothing beats an SUV's cargo capacity and roominess. However, if I had to own an SUV, I'd want some supercar DNA in it. Please welcome the Aston Martin DBX. Quick, exciting, sporty, and, ultimately, practical. It has a gorgeous design, in keeping with the traditional Aston Martin look. TG magazine praised the Aston for being "Interesting, fun, and actually practical". While the SUV offerings from Lamborghini and Maserati, to name a few, tend to be very obnoxious and pointlesss, the DBX is a clever package that I would take over any other SUV in the market.

MCLAREN 765LT: THE HYPERCAR

As you can probably tell, I have a thing for McLarens. Speed, style, terrific handling, Ferraris and Lamborghinis have nothing on modern McLarens. If you had guessed, back in 1994, that the legendary McLaren F1 was the start of a truly great brand, you'd be  absolutely right. The stunning 765LT is a prime example of McLaren's dominance. Top Gear didn't kid around when they said the 765LY was "Probably the single-most accomplished supercar we've ever driven", while handing it a highly impressive 9/10 rating, by a self-proclaimed 'stingy' editor, James May. It's a heck of a car, and it rounds out my top 3.
