Most expensive vehicle I hava sat in would be an M1A2 Abrams Tank ($4.3 million)


Runners up include:

The porsche Cayenne Turbo my brother-in-law used to own (I drove it a lot)

The F355 he currently owns (got to drive it once...for my birthday)

A murcielago at a dealership in naples, FL (sat in it, wanted it, couldn't afford 1 tire for it.)

I'm sure you have been on a plane. They are vehicles and are worth about 40 million USD for a half-decent one. I have also sat in the cockpit of a Concorde, but this isn't about Vehicles, it is about cars.

Mine is a Ferrari 250 GTO Racer or a Bugatti Type41 'Royale' and it was under very close supervision for obvious reasons.

Either Mclaren F1 LM or a Ferrari Enzo. I don't know. The Enzo cost 1.4m and the Mclaren Probably more. I don't have pics but I went in the Mclaren when I was 11 and I went in the Ferrari a year ago.

My uncle owns two exotic car dealerships so I'm lucky.

Car? Probably, in original value, 1929 Bentley Speed Six (owned by my uncle, who also has a 3-litre Bentley of similar age and an Elise).
Land vehicle? M1A1 Abrams tank
Any vehicle? QE2

Ever seen the video of the guy driving the tank in LA? It's an earth-bound vehicle capable of being driven on roads. I have also sat in the cockpit of the space shuttle at the space museum at Cape Canaveral, but "vehicle" and "car" are synonimous, so I disagree with you.

I have no idea what it was called - it's a small shop with about 50 vehicles stuffed inside. You can barely walk inbetween all the 911 turbos and lower end ferraris, but the murcielago was all by itself in the corner
