Dear Santa,

We've been good boys and girls this year. We didn't crash any press cars into walls, trees, or grandmothers (even though we did get an SRT Viper a little muddy), and we haven't even offended too many people. Really, the ones who have been offended are statistically insignificant... or something like that. We even made some articles that made people laugh, and since laughter is the best medicine, that means we probably cured some horrible disease free of charge.

In light of all of this, we're just asking for these 10 gifts this year; we're sure that it won't be too much trouble for you, since you are magic.

Sincerely,
Complex Rides

SRT Viper GTS

Click here to buy it now, $120,395

We were incredibly impressed with the new Viper when we sampled it at Sonoma Raceway. For the full story you'll have to pick up our February/March issue, but we'll give you the general idea right now: It's unbelievably good.

The Stryker Pearl Red paint and Sidewinder II wheels just look too good to consider anything else—even though there are like 150,000 options available.

Rolls-Royce Phantom Extended Wheelbase

Click here to buy it now, $262,526

In an ideal world, our Roller would come with a complimentary chauffeur and we'd experience the car from the proper seat. If it was black with a Creme Light interior too, then all the better.

Falcon F7

Click here to buy it now, $195,000

Falcon F7 is American for mid-engined exotic. It's lightweight (2,785 lbs), powered by a massive engine (7.0-L), features push-rod suspension (like the Lamborghini Aventador), and looks like pure crazy sex (like the Aventador). What's not to like?

We'll take one in bright lime green with a black interior.

Aston Martin Vanquish

Click here to buy it now, $278,295

The Aston Martin Vanquish is dead sexy. Seriously, with looks like this we almost don't even car how it drives. We think it would make a great daily driver: It could handle a grocery run (it only parks at Whole Foods, though), some fun driving on a mountain road, and taking a beautiful girl out somewhere nice.

We're thinking Quantum Grey on the outside and black with some deep red accents (including a Piano Red console) on the inside.

Mercedes-Benz 540K Spezial Roadster

Click here to buy it now, $10-12 Million

Only 26 Spezial Roadsters were made, and one sold last year for a cool $11.77 Million. We're still hoping to see one of these incredible beauties sitting in our driveways soon.

We want ours to be either glossy black, or that wonderfully creamy white that cars in the '30s came in.

Lotus T125

Click here to buy it now, $1.5 Million

Of course we want a F1 car, but we particularly like this one because it comes with a F1 driver, who will teach us how to handle it.

Of course, we want ours in black and gold John Player Special colors. How else to complete the fantasy?

HPA Scirocco

Click here to buy it now, $150,000

We're heartbroken that the VW Scirocco isn't available in the USA. Except, well, it kinda is. HPA Motorsport makes a 640 hp turbocharged VR6-powered, AWD, supercar version of the Scirocco that is legal for US streets for only $125,000 more than a regular Scirocco.

Bright blue with black Recaros, please.

Swallow Coachbuilding

Click here to buy it now, $201,300

As we reported a little over a week ago, the classic British car company Swallow Coachbuilding is for sale on eBay. It is most of the way through developing Harley-powered three-wheeler, and we think it would be cool to have it.

Bowler EXR-S

Click here to buy it now, $242,000

This thing is, hands down, the most badass off-roader money can buy. It's built to survive the Dakar Rally, and it will no doubt make it through anything we'd want to throw at it.

We want ours to be covered in mud.

McLaren F1

Click here to buy it now, $4.5 Million

The McLaren F1 is, according to us, the greatest supercar ever made. Logically, it's also the number one entry on our wish list.

If we could get one in a silver, black, and red McLaren race livery that would be perfect.
