"If I won the mega millions" thread

[DDonnie]

I always think it's fun to talk about what I would do if i came into a large sum of money. So... what would you do?

Here's my list:
1. Donate 10% to my church
2. payoff all my debt, all my family's debt, and all my wife's family's debt
3. turn my tb into an offroading machine that would make TheRoadie jealous
4. Buy a TB SS and mod it to the point where she could get down in the 9's
5. Buy the wife a jeep SRT8
6. Buy the house next to me and the house behind me, tear down all 3 houses and build a bigger house with a yard (i live in the city, very little yard)
7. Buy a summer cottage on a beach
8. Buy a matching numbers 71 chevelle ss with a 454
9. Buy a suburban for the fam

Really the only thing that I want in life is to run my own auto repair shop. I think a 9 figure check would help make that possible.

Hey, I'd bring my truck(s) to you for the upgrades

 

[gmcman]

Fixed it for you....

Hehe. Silly boy. It's not all about the machine. You'd have to move to Utah or Arizona to have access to better trails than here also.

*I* would take some of the money, assemble a stealth ninja mercenary team, send it to Toronto, and take out a certain evil Internet forum-destroying corporation and return all their property to the non-profit world.

haha, i would be down for the national barbeque, not sure about purchasing tunes for everyone. Depends on the size of the jackpot, lol.

$600 Million this weekend

 

[MDBT]

$600 million is a lot of money, which is good because it sounds like you want to go through a few million right away

Best of luck!

I forgot to mention, i would put 2 million off the top in a higher interest money market account so that if all else fails i can live off the interest.

I like the nationwide meet/barbecue meet hahaha imagine the amount of gmts there would be! It would be like christmas!
If i won $50,000 i would transplant the body of my voy onto a SS and get a upgraded tranny, cam and a procharger SC, put the denali front bumper on and SS rims on and i'd be goood to go!
And make a very nice build thread with lots of pics but you guys already knew that lol
And then i'd put the SS body on my voy and make it the first off road 4.2L tbss
And do a photo contest #20 and the winner gets the offroad SS

did someone say ninjuhh? haha
The Roadie after he wins it big-

Me?
$5million in some kind of interest gaining market, so my children (not a father, yet lol) would be set for life.
give to a few charities I currently contribute to, Wounded Warrior Project being one of the biggest.
I'd buy my parents a house, pay off their bills, and buy each of them the vehicle they wanted.
Pay off my best friend's student loans, and give him a few grand for his '87 Camaro project
Find myself (and my gf) a nice place out in the country, but not TOO far from civilization. Somewhere I could walk out on my back porch, naked if I wanted, and let off a few rounds in whatever weapon I wanted at the time, and NOT have a deputy at my house a few minutes later.
The current TB, would...well...have a laundry list of mods, as would pretty much everyone here
and honestly, considering how much this forum has saved me in $ for repairs, paying for "professional installation" etc etc...a sizeable donation would be more than appropriate

I like the nationwide meet/barbecue meet hahaha imagine the amount of gmts there would be! It would be like christmas!

Indeed...that would make headlines for sure! who knows, it could be possible one day! ::runs and buys scratch-off:: :wootwoot:

 

[BO TIE SS]

1) Send my SS to Lingenfelter
2) But a new Camaro SS convertable, send it to Lingenfelter
3) Buy an LED factory for my friend Carlton

Damn! I got the wrong ticket, I got one for the powerball. I guess you should not do stuff like this when you are sleepy.

Here's my list:
1. Donate 10% to my church

Here's the question -

I too say this as #1, but our church would likely not accept it if it is lottery (i.e. 'gambling') winnings.

Sure, that might change if it were 50 MILLION dollars, but still, there's a real gray area there

Believe it or not I actually had a discussion with my pastor once (he's also one of my good friends) regarding playing the lottery. The consensus was that as long as it doesnt become an addiction, a lotto ticket every now and then is no big deal.

 

[redleg6]

screw everyone else, the wife and I are moving to Waiheki Island in New Zealand

thats what I...we'd do if we won
