that right if you don't do a lot of conversion work, then there is no point in adding ram.

XFR is a great car to drive, at least my understanding from all the reviews. Boring to look at... so maybe XKR? 5.0 supercharged!!!! Is it too old man style??

M3 would be nice... preference for the coupe version BUT not sat in one before so dont know what the driving position/headroom/leg space is like... Hw about C63?? Gotta love the engine in that?!
if only weekend car GTR is best bet for you, I have seen a 2007 GTR for under 580k

Believe transcode apps will benefit more from powerful CPU or gpu. That's what I like abt my little Sony dc, it's video is in avchd so I just use my tv box or bluray player, no conversion needed.

Personaly I would still have reservation even as a weekend car unless performance is the absolute priority for the owner. I would say it's a great Smd car

To be honest Mark, i wouldnt get any jeep if i got 1.5M to spend on cars.
Especially we are still young, go and get some exotic instead!!
How about Aston Martin vantage, saw one selling at 1M
Its fun, powerful, comfortable and roomy enough to cruise around
