You stole my answer of ale and whores. :frown:

I'd say leather couches, a big-ass TV, and a slew of mules, which I would train to attack intruders.

Hmm, hard choices...
$1000 - a 22" Iiyama CRT
$1000 - a SCSI RAID setup for my computer
the rest - hold on to it until I'm 16 (later this year) and get a decent car.

two chicks at the same time....

i can't believe nobody has said this yet! :p

i would go for something longer term, like investment or something. or if you really need a car, get a cheap one (like civic) and invest the rest.
