Alright...so what in your head made you think that such a comment wouldn't be offensive?

I'm sorry that a joke that is just barely not PC offends you. I'm sure no one else has ever said it before. Its nice you think you can make a joke about how I'm compensatimng for my allegedly small penis by wishing i had nice cars while its not okay to make a joke about yours, even a complementary one, because of your avatar.

Well maybe if you thought before you made the comment others wouldn't think you were a horses a$$.

 
Id but a Ferrarri, a new house and a ticket to a resort where I could escape for a while to see what I would then do...probably take up music and build a recording studio in my house and rock on
 
even if it would be difficult to aquire one, a bugatti veyron is such a beautiful car. i'd wait to get it but probablly only use it for special occasions. daily car would be an elise.
 
I'd replace the windshield on my Corolla, there's a small crack in the corner. Maybe put some new hub caps on, possibly rims. It'd definitely be paid off though.

After that, all my debts would be paid off, then I'd be calling a financial planner and investing the rest. Depending on the amount of lottery winnings, it would be easy to live off the rest of my life on invested lottery money.

I was reading somewhere that the Veyron burns something like 2/3 of a gallon per minute at full speed.
 
Subaru WRX STI, Cadillac Escalade, Ferari F430, Land Rover Range Rover, and a Ford F250 extended cab with the V10.
 
how much money will i win? if 1mil take-home i get a is250 (4dr) to complement my s2k. if 3mil and up 1 Aston Martin DB9 for cruising, 911 Targa for sports, and used 850 T5r volvo station wagon for utility
 
Car?

If I won a $100+ million lottery, I would quit my job and move to Italy or a Greek island...somewhere away from the hustle and bustle of daily American life.
 
I think it depends on how much I won. I'd only think about buying a car if I won some mind-numbling amount like 300 million. If I only won like a couple mil, I probably would just put 1/4 - 1/2 in my portfolio (mutual funds, stocks, savings, cd's, etc) and then try to ration out the rest of the money so I could live comfortably until I retire.

But if I had enough to buy a new car, I'd probably get:

1) Toyota Highlander Hybrid (so I could tow a small boat if I bought one)
2) Honda Accord Hybrid

And if I REALLY wanted a fun car, I'd get a Z06 and / or a Boxter S.

Well I figure I just won ~140million arfter tax, whats ~a million to splurge on a car, kmaybe 10 million on a home(as an investment) and the other 130million into low risk investments?

But then wouldnt you get bored and lonely. Seriously, think about it, the next 40-60years fof your life, without a job, you would really have minimal purpose in life and it would be much harder to find new friends and everything.

$270million pretax.
 
I'd pick up a new Z06 for a fun car and keep my Legacy GT for my daily driver.

Having more than a couple cars in this city is just a pain in the ass I don't want.
