A Teen’s Dream: Picking a Car from Dad’s $100 Million Collection
Imagine being 16 and having the keys to a personal car gallery worth $100 million, thanks to your father’s impressive automotive collection. This dream turned into reality for a young man named Nick, who faced the enviable challenge of selecting his first car from a pool of 28 different luxurious vehicles.
First Car Choices: Navigating the Lavish Collection
Nick’s father is an avid car collector, boasting an eclectic mix that includes everything from sleek sports cars to iconic American muscle.

However, with every great collection comes decision-making dilemmas—some more thrilling than others.
Exploring the Collection: Previewing the Options
Amongst the expansive selection, Nick was initially drawn to a few standout options:
- Maserati: Valued at $110,000, the Maserati initially captivated Nick with its luxury and performance.

- Saab 93 Aero: Ultimately, the Saab emerged as a winner, offering a blend of comfort and ease of driving that appealed to the pragmatic side of both Nick and his father.
Behind the Wheel: Making the Final Choice
