Think hard...

IF you won the lottery... lets say it was half a billion dollars, just so theres no limits on the question...

What would be the very first thing you would do after you got your money?

I've asked lots of people this question, and its fun to ponder...

Yet it seems my answer has always been the same....

I would most definitely be heading straight to the porche dealership... and driving out of there with one of these...

but it would be black





That's right....

560Hp... 0-60mph(100kmh) in 3.1 sec... $206,600 worth of sick slick 911 turbo awesomeness...

Damn straight... that would be mine that day!!

How about you?

What would be the very first thing you would do?

I'd have a heart attack and then the hospitals and doctors would take it away.

I'd start playing superhero and swoop in to save the day for all my friends who are currently having serious money troubles--after paying off my student loan, of course. I'd also arrange to get those tests that were ordered for me 7 months ago done asap. I'd take my kids shopping to get them the things that they've been needing and have been quietly pretending that they don't really need because they didn't want to add more financial pressure on me. And, if I was feeling up for it, we'd hit the mass transit with envelopes filled with $13k (maximum gift that doesn't need reporting to the IRS) to spot random people that look like they really need a little windfall.

Then I'd tell my parents to go to hell and move to where they could never find us. It's the little things in life that make it so grand.

I can't say for sure what I would do if I won that kind of money.

But I know what I would no longer be doing.

Working for a living.

I would get all my preps together, a new truck, squirrel away some for the kids, and donate the rest to all the churches in town so that they can keep feeding the hungry.

as things are today?

Leave America.. Buy a mega Yacht and live in the Caribbean going to shore whenever family was bored.

And start a secret military with all veterans spearheading a kill all the ELites (monarchs and heirs) plan...

And send pictures of their corpses to Congress members with a "YOU ARE NEXT.. unless"

Still trying to find the motorcycle in this picture.

I definitely would take a few dozen of the girls though.

I don't regret to inform you that I've come to the conclusion that there is nothing more insidious and corrupting than the almighty dollar. Nor could I sit there and buy things that I didn't actually need because I have tendency towards being content without a truckload of new toys and I see such practices as being environmentally unsustainable. In fact, if I were to buy a car (and in all likelihood I would because I currently own a gas guzzling Mustang), I'd probably by the most inexpensive hybrid on the market and stick my Mustang in storage somewhere because even donating it to charity would do the recipient more harm than good.

I just couldn't do it.

SO we're just playin around....

I'd buy a Mercedez Benz SLS Black Series in Mercedez Silver with black inside, and I'm pretty sure it would eat your car of choice for lunch, 631 HP !!.

Then I'd go looking for a place to build my 5 or 6 bedroom house with garage and workshop big enough to house all the other cars I'm gonna buy and restore.

Then while I'm doing all of that, I would pay off all of my family's bills and buy them each a new house and at least a few cars.

Then after things settle down, I would look for ways to invest the money and start my own car shop, hot rods of course and some classics, I've had this dream for a long time to take cars and rebuild them with huge HP engines and custom drivetrains.

Of course the vacations would come after that, but I'd want to get busy on my Dream of having my own car shop first, I think my motivation for it comes from the fact that my Dad was an original owner of a 1956 Mercedez 300SL Gullwing with knock off wheels, 34 gallon gas tank and a sports cam, the car was fast and rode like a dream, I was the only one out my brothers that got to drive the car, and of course work on it.

I could think of more but I'd need a couple of days.


Peace

star & flag for your thread, thanks
