As for me, I wouldnt buy a really expensive car....I would get a nice house and just do all the mods that I want to the car I have now. I would save the majority of the money in different banks, and the rest I would invest.

double . i think i wanna stay in wa state for the rest of my life

someone should buy a cf hood with kevlar in it and pump a few rounds...let's see if it's bullet proof

Wow. What would I do with 50 mil.

Buy a house. Quit my job. forget the stock market and bonds. I would put $20 million in a saving account and hace the accrued interest put in a checking account. On an average of 5% savings account (which they will give me because I am giving them $20 mil), that is one million a year in interest.

And I would still have $30 mil to play with.

Leave the US to travel the world. where ever my little heart desires. Do everything I could ever want to do.

automotive wise, I would own a RUF CTR-2, Skyline GT-R, turbo RX-7, 69 Camaro SS with a 427, and Lamborghini Miura/Murcielago.

I would open a shop to tune cars with after I have settled down.

Live my life of dreams. Pay off everyone's I know credit debt. Charity. Not only money, but to help out as well.

it takes something along the lines of 13 layers of Kevlar to to make a single light-duty Bulletproof vest, IIRC. Point of Interest- Marching Drumheads are often made of two layers of Kevlar, and they last about a year when being beat by wooden sticks.

It's made out of a super strong Carbon Fiber that is up to 20X's stronger then conventional plastic.

And again, if you read the whole post, it's a rumor that I've heard on some other auto forums.

[Ispankyourmom]

They also state at the website something along the lines that it's body is stronger then any other car's body.

I've seen some pretty damn sturdy plastic.

I have the BEST way to spend $50 Million Dollars, so LISTEN UP!

Ok, first of all, lets break this NICE sum of money into different categories:

1) $40 Million Dollars ---> Placed into a secure investment account (therefore money will greatly increase overtime due to interest, is protected, and can't be lost to the stock market...). This money will be used for my children, to pay for education, clothing, all that stuff, etc. (btw I don't have kids yet lol, I'm only 16).

2) $500,000 Dollars ---> Help my parents pay off house debts, retouch the house (i.e. paint, landscaping, furniture).

3) $500,000 Dollars ---> Money given away to various charities.

4) $1 Million Dollars ---> This money is given to very close family and friends to help them out a bit, and relieve a bit of tension in their lives.

5) $1 Million Dollars ---> Used to finish my basement (in my current home), and allow for a third of the basement (basement is pretty large) to be designated as a "Chill" room for myself and friends. In this room, there would be a full desk setup with 6 Alienware PC's, with the top of the line graphics cards for professional gaming. Each computer would have a Plantronics DSP-500 PC Headset (top of the line headphones/microphone for intense online gaming). The "chilling" room would have its own seperate T1 Internet (seperate from the rest of the houses' cable internet access). The room would also house a widescreen 70 inch rear projection HDTV, used for gaming and for entertainment purposes. There would be an Xbox set up with 4 controllers, and DirectTV satellite, AND Rogers Digital Cable (for the local needs). There would be two large couches for chilling on while watching TV/playing Xbox, etc., or chilling with a girlfriend. The room also is equipped with a fridge for drinks, and a sink for handwashing, etc.

6) $4 Million Dollars ---> This money would be spent on cars. I'd purchase almost one of everything (in necessary categories). I'd buy a Porsche Carrera GT, a Saleen S7, a Ferrari 360 Spider, Porsche 911 Turbo, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, Porsche Cayenne Turbo, Lamborghini Murciélago, Lamborghini Gallardo, Hummer H1, Dodge Viper SRT/10, and a Mercedes Benz SL55 AMG, and an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish.

7) $1.5 Million Dollars ---> I'd fix up my room nicely. Purchase a new PC, top of the line, keep my old one (which is still very good), have them both set up, have a laptop, buy a new digital camera (nice one), new speakers, etc., nice 40 inch plasma hanging on the wall, and another Xbox, so I don't have to move it up and down around my house. I'd subscribe to pretty much EVERY single car magazine. I'd buy some nice clothes, mayb a lil bling bling lol (not toooo much, don't wanna look like a fake rapper or anything, just somethin classy).

8) Remaining $1.5 Million Dollars ---> Keep this money in a regular bank account, for food, movies, entertainment, stuff like that, so I wouldn't have to work part time while in school, and can focus on the more important things in life - like cars, women, friends, school, and just relaxing. I'd also make sure to go camping, and probably buy some new gear.

I know it was long, but I hope you like MY way of spending $50 million dollars, even though this thread was only really for what car(s) you'd buy.

************************************************** ****

[Jimster]

Well I'd get that list of 11 cars that I put in the thread of teh 10 cars I'd own- and the other one........


That'd be 3 or 4 million out of my pocket- then I'd buy a Hemi Superbird, Ferrari 166MM Barchetta, BMW 507 and Aston Martin DB5. because I didn't have them on my list- that's about another $1.5 million (The Aston and bird wouldn't be as expesive as the BMW and Ferrari)

then I'd cash in on Luxury goods ($1 million) buy a penthouse apartment in Monaco- and have the Ultimate in home entertainment that'd be a holiday house with ($1.5 million)

amd a mansion in the middle of nowhere With the Ultimate of all worlds ($3 million)

Buy a house in Wellington, NZ- have a 360 Modena F1 to run around in- ($1.5 million)

then I'd buy a Morris Mini 850 ($200) because I want one- then a Tatra 603, Oldsmobile Tornado, Citroen DS, Delorean DMC-12 and Mk III Ford Zephyr- because they are all wierdly great ($200,000)

All the rest'd be invested and a small portion given to my mum, dad, my sister and Moss, all the rest of my immediate family are either too irresponsible or too stupid for money

[pikkagtr]

import myself a JGTC Denso sard suora GT with out stickers and a muffler

[slave]

Borrow Amy's Z8. Hell, SHE DOES know what to do with that money.

[carguyinok]

I think I would buy that aircraft carrier that was for sale on E-bay. Then stock it with big wing hondas my new sling shot

[Ispankyourmom]

Well, if we're all gonna go into the specifics of what we'd do with the rest of the money - here goes.

1. Ulf Sensor ($120,000), LPE 427TT Vette ($200,000), Mosler MT900 ($140,000), Ferarri 456 Maranello (the only Ferarri that I really like) tuned by Konig Specials in Germany ($700,000), Ferarri 512M (have to get it at an auction or dupont registry - not sure of the price) and that takes care of my performance car needs. Now on to luxury - Cadillac CTS (the new performance model that's supposed to be like 450 horses), and an H2, or the biggest SUV that GMC makes with a serious entertainment system installed (Yukon Denali I think - not sure) or maybe a Maybach.

As for the Home - I'd have a place out here in Central Ca. since that's where I've been born and raised, a home in Western NY since I'm a Buffalo Bills fan so I could go to all their home games (thank god Gregg Williams is gone, now bring in Tom Coughlin and watch this team make the playoffs consistently for the next 10 years and get a couple superbowls), and a home in England because the people of England were the only ones that treated me with class when I went to England and the rest of Europe 2 1/2 years ago. I'd spend football season in Western NY, and then the first three months after football season out here in Cali, and then three months in England. I'd only go by boat (Cruise ship to be exact) to England though - flying sucks - especially when you're leaving Boston and you're stuck on a plane for 11 hours until you get to Gatwick Int'l.

Then I'd open up a few businesses - one of them would kinda be like an arcade - but with a slight twist (nothing but hot nerdy or punk chicks working for it, and it will serve alcohol), I'd buy my friend his autoclave and whatever else he needed to open his own tattoo shop, and I'd buy several apartment buildings in order to guarantee that I'd always have an income (rent), and let some friends maintain them and stay at them (they'd be responsible for making sure the apts stay well maintained - I'd let them have some of the rent money to get by on.

I'd have a pet midget, a pitbull, and a spidermonkey or a chimp for pets (or both).

Also, I would not marry without having my woman sign a prenup - absolutely no way in hell am I letting some woman that just wants to take advantage of me take advantage of me.

[pikkagtr]

"I'd have a pet midget"
that's just wrong
