You win 150 million and you want to drive a miata - WTF?

[Mike Lowrey]

\/ WTF?



Ok so if you won 150 million what would you drive? Ran wants a miata

discuss.

I would rock a yugo.....

[eViLMunkey]

Also I'd move out of the Country since the economy is goin' to hell

[Kevykev]

I'm sure he'll buy a miata, then something else. Maybe even a GTR.....then after realizing how much disposable income he still has, something green will be in his garage.

i would buy kate from paul...

possible?

[Ran]

I'm sure he'll buy a miata, then something else. Maybe even a GTR.....then after realizing how much disposable income he still has, something green will be in his garage.

If I were to get a GT-R, it'd be an R32 V-Spec II in black. If, for some reason, I were to be in the market for Porsche it'd probably be a Carrera GT. I'm normally not one for European styling but, for some reason, I actually like the Carrera GT a bit. It sure as hell wouldn't be green though. lol

Things I would rather buy than cars:
-house/condo in Tokyo, maybe a couple somewhere else in Japan
-house in London
-house in Paris
-house somewhere on the Mediterranean coast
-pay for my own airship - not just a blimp, I mean one of the recently designed floating houses. lol
-private plane
-another four years in college to major in environmental sciences
-buy my parents a Porsche Boxster for each of them
-invest in a good solar panel producing company
-all of my houses would be powered completely by themselves: solar power, wind power, geothermal, etc.
-pay tuition for Lara's grad school
-after we are done with school, then we would take a never ending trip around the globe

Screw cars.

FAIL.

[Jecht]

FAIL.

Umm... no. The reason old airships would catch fire so easily is because:
1. They released the hydrogen into the atmosphere to go up and down rather than compressing it into tanks
2. They had a flammable coating on the outside
3. Generally bad design

Most of the issues have been worked out. Aka don't vent flammable gases into the atmosphere where it can catch fire and don't use a flammable coating on the outside of the ship.

Airships are making a comeback, there are a lot of designs out there that use very little fossil fuels and can carry a couple hundred tons of cargo. With fossil fuels growing more expensive all the time, it is very likely that air ships will be used again soon.

[BIG WORM]

I'd buy 1 F430

5. 1983 Porsche 962
6. Porsche 917 from movie "Le mans"
7. Juha Kankkunen's 1985 Peuguet 205 Group B
8. 1992 Klaus Ludwig Mercedes DTM car
9. 1933 Alfa Romeo 2300 Mille Miglia

Private plane? lol... You mean a Cessna ? lol ,... I think you will run out 1/2 way down your list .

[redrumracer]

hell id still have my miata if i had that kind of money, these lil cars a great to drive, not fast, but that can be cured. and i also would have other cars in my garage. like a camaro, rx7s, blazers, a viper, r1. and prob a couple older muscle cars.

EDIT: and a couple corvettes and an airplane or 2 seeing as how im a pilot.

[BKgen®]

F430, C63 AMG, 993 GT2...



...but a miata? come on....

[Alan®]

You would spend the ENTIRE $150 million on Genesis's

[BKgen®]

[collins]

i would have to sit down and compile the list of autos i would be on the lookout for... but first, id go order my daily driver. a white SL65 AMG black series.

I totally forgot about that car

[Doppelgänger]

I'd def. still keep my Miata if I won the lottery... albeit the damn thing would have 500rwhp lol

And bet your ass i'd have all of those cool other toys (including a GT3-RS in black w/green wheels and stripe)

[quickdodge®]

Also, just because you have money doesn't mean you have to flaunt it. Hell, the founder of Wal-Mart drove an old pick-up truck until he died.

I actually agree with you. My grandfather and my late grandmother drove 2 15 year old Pontiac mini vans. He still has them. They felt no urge to live lavish. Later, QD.

[flak_monkey]

I would just make both of my cars really nice, an 06 GTO, a 02 WS6, and NEVER work again. Just make art all day. Oh yeah, and I guess I'd get an old caddy hearse and wall that fuccker out. 4 18" TC sounds LMS Ultras and a 600 cubic inch big block.

[Benefit]

an F430 , a GT-R, and a maserati for the lady

[x Resilience]

Clean ride bro, GLWS.

[Double_0_Rusty]

Fcuk exotics....Id be loaded with late 60's-70's muscle cars.....1st on list the storied Shelby Gt500, GT350, Ford GT-40, 57 Chev Bel-Air, Yenko Camaro, SS camaro, 77 1/2 Baldwin Motion Camaro, 70 Chevelle SS 454, Cutlass 442, 72' Nova SS, R/t Challenger and Charger. On and On...my DD would be a SRT-10 Ram w/ 6spd, and a Srt-8 Challenger. Oh wait......I bet that is way over the 150 mil......

[RL...]

My garage would look like:
e46 m3=fun car
r34 gt-r=fun car
66 dodge charger=old school
inifiniti fx35=dd

nothing too crazy, no lambo's, no ferrari's, just a heavily modded m3 and skyline..and the fx as a daily driver, or maybe a bmw x5...

and you gotta have the old school whip if you're ballin

[ironchef]

I think the question is, what cars wouldn't I buy? lol

[alpine_aw11]

I think the question is, what cars wouldn't I buy? lol

[EJ25RUN]

8 of ....



6 of ....



2 of ....



You'll all be jealous. I know this.

[ironchef]

Though if I had to draft a list, it would be like so...

Exotics
Bugatti Veyron - Phantom Black
Audi r8 w/v10 - Ibis White
Lamborghini Murcielago SV and Gallardo LP560-4 SL - Balloon White
Aston Martin V12 Vantage - Black
Ferrari F40 - Black
Porsche CGT - Guards Red

Daily
Audi S8 - Suzuka Grey
Toyota Supra (for highway fun) - Anthracite
Bentley Continental GT (chipped, of course) - Silver
Cadillac Escalade - Black

That would suffice.

[ARFNSX]

Yes it would be fun to own all of these things but this is exactly why you have television programs like Millionaire lottery winners...Gone Bad...look at them now!

People get money and spend it like crazy. They "might" invest 10% and spend 90% when it should be the other way around.

As most people know I have quite a few cars including 2 miatas. Would you believe I still drive the miatas almost everyday. I love them. I even rock them on first dates. Most girls will never see my other cars until a few dates in.

I am by no means rich but having an LoveFab NSX, MBZ E430 Brabus, Convert Jaguar, F350 and a few other cars, I still prefer the SC Miata over them all. It is fun to drive, good gas mileage and you can drop the top in about 2 seconds.

Convertible Jag FTW

[blaknoize]

Its a good idea. Just cuz he has the money from the lottery doesnt mean he can maintain that expense for long. He's just gonna live a lil better than what he was like beforehand. I would do the samething. Thats the common mistake of folks who strike it rich and instantly run themselves into more debt by living up to that new standard.

I'd buy a miata just as well.

[ARFNSX]

Remember one very important thing...

MONEY ONLY MAGNIFIES THE PERSON YOU ARE ALREADY!!! (Think about it)

If you were a smart person with little money, then you are going to be a smart person with money. If you were foolish with your spending when you only had a few dollars in your pocket and didn't invest your money, you are going to be the same way when you come into money.

Money also magnifies your character so if you were an a$$hole before you had loot, then the chances are you will be an even BIGGER A$$HOLE with money.
