I won't choose and you cant make me.

https://autos.yahoo.com/news/mclaren-650s-vs-ferrari-458-speciale-choose-poll-200057382.html

McLaren 650S or Ferrari 458 Speciale.

I want both and will take either. I'm easy to please.

I slightly prefer the Ferrari, but I'd be happy with either.

I would prefer something a little more laid back than the Ferrari or McLaren, perhaps an Aston Martin Vanquish Volante.

I don't know why but Lambos don't do it for me. If someone's giving away Astons I'll take one or two. Can I get a DB5?

Gorgeous car no doubt, but that's more of a GT than a supercar...

Does nothing for me in the area just south of the stomach, if you know what I mean. That Lamborghini or Ferrari though....

No, no you can't. Your choices have now been limited to a Lamborghini Huracan or a Yugo GV.

F car, but I rather get an older one that's on the upswing value wise vs the 458 which is working on depreciating since they are building to many...as they have since the 360.

A 246 Dino comes to mind, as does the 365GTB or 512BB.

In that case I'll forgo four wheeled transport and just ride my motorcycle everywhere.

I have a standing order with my family. If anyone is at a loss for a gift, a simple Ford GT is always appropriate. Even an unassembled kit would be fine. I am not too picky
Painted in either blue and white or the Gulf blue and orange

I'd prefer the older one,but, as I said, I'm not picky. Too close to the original dimensions would make it a tight fit.
But dreamin is cheap
