Default If you won a few million dollars...

What would you do if you won a few million dollars? Ecspcially car wise!



-I would keep my Accord, probably do all the bolt ons with the best name brand stuff. Then do all the premium fluids, and a $600 rust protection service and just keep it. Way to many memories to get rid of it, plus its my first car and most everyone regrets selling their first car.

-Id buy a 98ish manual Civic and make it a clean turbo sleeper!
-Buy my dad a Viper...aww heck, Id buy myself a matching one to cruise around with!
-A Hemi Cuda.
-Save half of the winnings
-Buy a nice house for me with a "just gaming room"
-Give some $$ to family
-Oh, and I would buy some land and put a nice wiiiide 1/2 mile long road. Maybe for a few runs here and there!
-Pay a trainer to get me some abs and cook me up some yummy healthy stuff
-Get a golden retreiver
-Ill add more!

Let's assume I win 5 million, just for the sake of simplicity...

* 1mil goes straight into the bank in a CD, long term at at least 5% (50k/yr for it just sitting in there that you could live off of)
* 1mil goes into buying a sweet lot of land with some water, and enough space for a strip (to land a plane on or do runs or whatever the hell I want) - the house would have a full theater inside, along with a full (self)service shop for a rear garage complete with 2 lifts and all the goodies.
* 1mil goes into buying the most state of the art winnebego and funding the touring of this and other countries
* 1mil goes to paying off the wife to dismiss the hookers coming from the shower.. ayerrr.. what? i mean to get her whatever she wants.
* 1/2 mil to set up a fund for my children
* 1/2 mil to be given as i desire to my sister and parents.

i think i'd be happy with that. if not, then i'll just take up snorkeling.

I'd definately get a lambo. I met an '07 yellow one in the road yesterday and about**POOP** my pants. My sister knows the guys son that has it. Then I would get a 2jz 98 Supra and customize to my liking. Next would be a blue Viper w/ white stripes(old school). And lastly a 1970 Dodge Charger R/T...... I could name about 20 more cars but I gotta go

id get a carrera GT, a plot of land with a long drag strip/plane strip and a road course (like the one top gear has).
I would live in the same place, drive the same car, and work the same job. I wouldnt tell anybody.

I'd give 40% of it to the IRS since that's what they would take. Then with the remainder, I'd invest some, payoff all my debts, buy a koenigsegg for me and a new lexus, BMW, or mercedes for the wife. Then I'd build a nice new fancy casino and live off the income.

i would invest into something big, (to live out of that), also put some in a savings bond, (get interests!) then get me a few fast @$$ cars, including a Skyline GT-R fully modded, a Supra (want to build that one myself), then a lambo, and a buglatti veyron.if married, get my wife whatever she wants, then get a track like the one the guys of top gears have,which is awesome, and get a fairly big house, and a nice pool (it's always hot in PR) and KEEP MY ACCORD AND HAVE IT TUNED AND GET AS MUCH $$$$ ON IT AS I CAN, I LOVE MY ACCORD!!!!!!

Like sir nasty said...350,000-400,000 to the man. Then that leaves me with 600,000-650,000 which is about the same price as a decent house in the bay area. So I guess that's it. Doesn't seem like much, but no house payment would be the r0x0rz.
