I wouldn’t waste it on a mclaren and I grew up loving their F1 road car.
Now a days, I don’t find the appeal in super/hyper cars. 200mph is nothing for a well engineered car today and what good is that capability. You can have a ton of fun under 150mph on a good track. I would enjoy more of a Porsche or lesser car, a good driver’s-car. Porsche are funky to drive but they aren’t usually over stated and flashy. Having driven a few super cars, I don’t want the attention and worry associated with them.
With that said, I could care less for most materialistic things. I am in favor of ownership, I just don’t get attached like I used to a depreciating object that is worthless when SHTF.
I have a stryker 1350 cruiser with a raked out fork and fat tire on the back. I can hit 135 tops but that's more than enough for me as I only ride street. Turns are rough, I often have to scrape pegs at higher speeds, but that is quite a thrill xD

Just make sure the previous owner didn't exchange the hero blob for a rounded steel bolt head like mine did on my 1.5L Victory Vegas.
Fortunately I discoverd this 'lever' on a low speed turn and managed to keep it rubber side down, but definitely one of my most 5p/50p moments (not sure what the US equivalent would be, 5c/50c maybe ;) )
Heck, a C7 Vette will do 200 mph for under a 100k.
F1 sucks these days. I went to the USGP at COTA 2 years ago and the track was wonderful, but the cars, meh. Didn't even need earpro. It'll be interesting to see Miami and then LV.
I agree - all of the fancy stuff won't be worth much if SHTF. Although, I did see some kid driving a Rezvani Tank around my house the other day. That may have some value at the same price point.

First bike was used and I spent more fixing it than if I had bought it new.
This one I bought new in 2014 and have been happy with it since. Only a couple of accidents with it, nothing serious.
First bike I high sided and flew dozens of feet over a drunk driver who blew a stop sign 😒
