If money were no object, my stable would still look largely the same.

But....

I'd really like an optioned-out Buick LaCrosse with the Caddy Northstar engine.

Already planning on trading in the WRX on the STI, so I'll have the performance side covered. I don't want TOO good of a track car, as it'd get rid of excuses for my performance.

I'm also extremely disappointed in my 05 Chevy K3500 tow vehicle. It's nowhere near up to the workload assigned to it, so I continue to shop for a semi to replace it. Even a 500-horse Freightliner would get better fuel economy (given the proper gearing) pulling this particular load (about 18k lbs of trailer and cars) and wouldn't tick me off at every hill by dropping to 50 mph despite the throttle being mashed halfway into the engine compartment.

I'm glad I didn't commit to the new Mustang GT500. From what I'm reading, I would've been terribly disappointed. Sounds like I would've been happier with a Z06 (which I do love instructing in) but I'm trying to back off to just one track car because I'm hobbling myself by having to learn to drive all over again when I just use a different car for a session.

Overall, with the exception of the LaCrosse, what I want, I've already got or am working on.

Am very seriously considering selling the 05 BMW K1200LT, too, and getting an 82 Honda CBX. Much more my style. Unfortunately, some of the bikes I collect and/or have been looking to add to the collection have recently appreciated very dramatically. Fortunate for the bikes I already have (my son says I'm up to 17), but unfortunate for a lot of the ones I still want. A lot of my favorites (Yamaha Daytona RD400, Honda CB400F -- preferably yellow, Kawasaki H2, Suzuki GT750, Suzuki RE5, etc) are selling for large multiples of what they sold for new.
