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

[4dmin]

\/ WTF?

Even if I were to win the $150,000,000 lottery, I still wouldn't drive one of these cars. You'd probably find me in a 1st gen Miata with simple mods and a hardtop or something equally as simple. I'm sure that there are a lot of people on here that think Miata's are ugly and I'm open to comments criticizing my tastes. It's an open forum, say what you'd like.

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

I would most certainly own a GT3 among many other cars... a green one too just b/c Ran doesn't like it... i would hire a driver to follow him around in my GT3 so he would have to see it everywhere and watch others drool over it.



discuss.

ran is gay.

It was an example. I loved my 1st gen Miata and, if I had the money, I'd have a clean one. It would definitely not be the only car in my garage though. Not with that kind of money.

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.

QFT HE DOES LIKE 12 Y.O. CHICKS W/ TABLE FLAT CHESTS

I'D GET...I DONT EVEN KNOW..PORSCHE WOULD BE ONE OF THEM THO...AND A PONTIAC G8

[4dmin]

It was an example. I love my 1st gen Miata and, if I had the money, I'd love to have a clean one. It would definitely not be the only car in my garage though. Not with that kind of money.

we already know what you want to drive now let the masses choose

[Jecht]

I would probably do the same as Ran. I think I would have more fun with a fully decked-out Miata than an expensive car that I will be afraid to drive for fear of denting it or scratching the front bumper on a speed bump.

Paul's on a mission.

[alpine_aw11]

I'd have a few heavily modded cars/one nice DD and a normal house. If I won that money I would just use it wisely and never work again. I'm not much of a supercar guy personally, but if I were to get an expensive exotic a GT3 would be first on the list. And I'd definitely have an Atom in the garage.

[XLR8NMR2]

I can kinda see where he is coming from...I mean if i had 150millon dollars i would own a bunch of exotics and i would probably end up buying another mr2 just because i've always been in love with the car.

[EJ25RUN]

I would probably do the same as Ran. I think I would have more fun with a fully decked-out Miata than an expensive car that I will be afraid to drive for fear of denting it or scratching the front bumper on a speed bump.

Most of the highend cars that are streetable have a system that raises the front on the speed bump.

Oh and another question. ...Why do people worry about dents so much?
I've had my car for 2 years and have 2 small chips on the front bumper and i notice them from washing my car and actually feeling they were there. Besides that, no dings, dents or anything. I do park at the very back of a parking lot and garage the car but if i was to have a $100,000 car, i don't think stuff like that would worry me.

Besides, if i can afford a car like that, i can afford $5,000 to fix a little scratch on my carbon Lamborghini Murcielago.

[b@d @pple]

i would buy kate from paul...

[man]

i would have 30 rx7s half stock, half modded to hell and back.

[Ran]

i would have 30 rx7s half stock

1 to drive and 29 for replacement parts and motors?

I'm JFWY.

[DieselNuts]

whatever, with that kind of money, just buy two of whatever you're afraid to scratch or dent and go raise hell

I'm not talking about just dents though... I'm talking about driving the car hard and parking/driving it the same way I would any other car. I would be afraid to drive a $250k car hard for fear of damaging it and then needing to repair it. I love cars and all, but there are other things I'm interested in that I would rather spend money on.

Plus, I'm with some of the other guys on investing/saving the money. I would rather invest it and keep going to school MUCH longer without needing to work.

Actually if I had this kind of money my garage would probably be bigger than my house. I would be buying every car in sight.

I don't think you are putting yourself in that position mentally though. A person that can afford a car like should have the money to fix it without a sweat. Otherwise they really can't afford it. That is not to say they should abuse it but anyone that has a $100,000 car, should have $5,000,000 in the bank. Consider the maintenance costs. Allot of these cars need engine rebuilds every 15,000 miles.

[Nemesis]

People dont stay rich by spending money.

who told you these lies?

[Ran]

Is that an Al-Quida car meet? Lots of time bombs in that parking lot. lol

Actually, that's Yokohama Japan.

Al-Quida is in Japan?!

Like I was saying, I have things that are much more important to me than cars. I wouldn't want to deal with rebuilding the engine every 15,000 miles or paying the exorbitant repair fees. Yes, $150,000,000 is a lot of money but I would rather buy other things than a high-end car.

[4dmin]

i would buy kate from paul...

that is one hell of ride i may add :idb:

WTF 150 million and you aren't thinking about cars... please explain how else you would spend 150 million dollars... sh!t ain't worth ass if your dead. you do know IA is a car site... most people on here like cars... .005 % of your 150mil is 750,000 that alone can buy a sh!t ton of nice rides

I've nothing against the Jeeps, but 35's?

[alpine_aw11]

OH SHIAT YOU CAUGHT IT! 35"s lol. I was confused for a minute.

[EJ25RUN]

35''s are still functional off road....its when you get to those monster truck wannabe tires when things are truly pointless.



edit...i just got it too....

[Ran]

edit...i just got it too....

I was like, "D@mn that's a big rim!"

[EJ25RUN]

I was like, "D@mn that's a big rim!"

i don't think even these are that tall.

[Reaper]

Aston Martin Vanquish and DBS would be the first two vehicles I'd buy...then a house

THEN...GT3RS, Carrera GT, every TVR, R8, S5, C6Z06(track it), F430spyder, F550 Barchetta, Murcielago LP640, Gallardo, Veyron, Enzo, fully built supra and nsx, as well as a RX7 and the new ACR Viper..

I'd daily the vanquish =)

and for "taking people around" IF I actually had people in my car besides the female....ummmm Cheyenne GTS and/or Audi S8.

I'm pretty positive I'm missing like 20 cars, but I'm at work and don't have time to think about it lol

[OneSlow5pt0]

i mea i agree with ran.....if i had all that money 1st thing id do is turn my 3rd gen into a clean LS3 swap

[Me86Rob]

id have a few nice old corollas. and a cressida!

[eViLMunkey]

if I had the money the house would be built on top of the garage to even things out... plus a good sized track in the back yard for testing and for friends to use

Plus I'd still keep my EG just mod it all I want, but I would definitely buy a(n) Atom, R1, and a GT3 road/Race prepped then invest the rest of the money into secure investments... mainly properties
