If it happened....what would you?

Mr CLuTcH · 06-10-2010, 10:53 PM

It was a hard day at work,...your stressed because you had to put in a little more work than usual, you wonder when life's going to deal you a trump card and totally change your world as you know it. You wake up one morning, about to repeat your everyday cycle of work, as if your "trapped" within the system. Then,...right as your about to leave for your everyday of hard work, you realize you bought a Powerball ticket the night before at the pump,...you goto check the numbers, expecting to have lost yet another dollar again. Only this time, to your amazement, every....single...number, matches. YOU'VE WON the JACKPOT!!

150 million dollars is now all yours! You can provide a better life for your family, and you can finally start doing the thing YOU really want to do. No more 9-5, no more long days of boredom and overtime. No more giving away YOUR time to serve the ends and needs of another man you don't even know who owns the company you work for.

Your a car enthusiast so as soon as you buy your new dream-house,...it's now time to build your long sought collection of cars. Car's you've dreamed of owning, only to snap back into reality knowing you'd probably never own.

WHAT CARS WOULD YOU BUY? Pictures/Specs......

First vehicle I would get would be a Dodge Caravan. I would pack it with C-4 and blast it to hell and gone. All the years of driving one because of the kids gone in an instant. Glad the kids are old enough to drive themselves.

I'd probably keep about $15M for retirement, keep working and give the rest away. I am actually quite happy working, I'm well paid and I have everything I need. The only concern I have is losing my job - all I want to do is to avoid that stress, hence the $15M backup plan.

If I were to get a nicer car though, the nicest I'd get would probably be "only" an Aston Martin DB9.

I wouldn't throw a lot at a car even if I was a car person. I'd stay low key. I know millionaires and they don't flash their money off like that. Honestly I'd be happy with a 2SS or a Shelby for the weekend and a Benz for the weekday. I'd buy a nice house invest 1/4 of it and live off my interest.

G8GT4now · 06-11-2010, 10:12 AM

Thats a great question cause we all dream ,but if it really happened I wonder what I would really do.

Don't think I'd quit my job because I would get bored just sitting at home 24/7.

I'd just make my CTS-V insanely fast, would pickup a ZR-1, and a large SUV (prob an Escalade). Would not buy any foreign supercar, I want to support the domestic auto industry.

Why the hell would we pay you to use your track when we could all just build one ourselves?
