If you won the lottery.............

[Iron Ranger]

What would you do? I'm a simplistic guy and I would think that I would stay that way. I'd probably use the money to help out others in need, get myself set up for retirement, and hold an annual contest on TRS for an all expenses paid resto. on your ranger.

No BMW's, Mercedes, or fancy houses and parties. I'd be the guy buying a piece of junk 1979 Ford F-150 Ranger and doing a full off resto from the frame up. With my Morton building and variety of tools, of course.

What would you guys do?

yea, i love the 79 f-150s too, but maybe put a diesel engine in it. Definatly want a good tractor and some land. otherwise good food and fun times haha.

 

[cody93]

get land/tools/restore my existing cars and sit back n relax

 

[Epixstar]

i would see the world and pay off a few houses for my family and friends.

 

[dixie_boysles]

Easy. Id buy me some land, build my dream house (a modest one, not a mansion), but Sara her dream car (BMW), buy a bass boat. Retire.

After the house though, all of my grandparents would be taken care of (houses paid for, cars paid for, everything paid for the rest of thier lives). Then i would take care of my mama and siblings. Id put most in a bank. I would pick a few chairties that i really believe in and donate to them about every year.

 

[Iron Ranger]

That reminds me. I'd like to build a true Lamo Countach from the late 80's (Cannon Ball Run 2). For some reason, I think those are the coolest cars ever made. Sadly, even better than the Camero and Mustang.

 

[LearjetMinako]

I would still work and go to school. Except that I will own a house of my own and live out in the country with my current Ranger, and maybe 1 more Ranger to turn into a 4x4 machince to keep me busy. I will not go blow it all on riches, cars, and such. More invest it into making my home into a self dependent home which has geo heating and cooling, solar, and wind energy options.

First thing I would do is walk into my supervisor's office and take a huge, steaming dump on his desk. Hopefully while he's sitting at the desk.

Then I would setup a retirement deal and have some fun.

 

[Hopman]

After paying off my debts (and my sister's student loans) and giving 10% away to non-profits (such as a few local churches, a community theater group or two, and Habitat For Humanity), I'd build a nice home and garage and some nice rides.

Among them:

I've always liked the looks.

You need at least ONE Ranger in the Garage!

Ferarri beating perfomance FTW!

But repowered with either a C16 Cat or a Detroit Diesel Series 60. I need ONE vehicle in my fleet that MAKES money. Besides, I've always like classic cabovers.
And a new Corvette convertable, sunburst orange with a 6-speed stick.

 

[Funnyman141]

I would do a frame up resto on both of my trucks, and my impala, stuff a turbo on my ranger, buy a modest house out in the country with alot of land, farm some of it and leave the rest as wooded with trails to play in with a 4x4 truck. and put the rest in a bank.

 

[irishblessing]

if i won the lottery i would do absolutely nothing
donate some money

and iron mans house

 

[koda6966]

I would pay off my car, fix my truck, buy a bigger one, fix that up. Then I would buy a nice sized plot of land and fix up a nice house and a nice little barn. Then I would probably buy my mother a new van and my father a good forklift and maybe a small excavator if I have enough money left.

 

[Scotty J.]

I'd build a house, and in that house would be a huge home theater, a 4 lane bowling alley, and indoor archery range, and indoor shooting range. Outside would be some fun outdoor stuff to do, like a big ol' mud hole, a putt putt course, horse shoes, etc..

And I would probably still be bored.

 

[Ranger Dave (B25)]

1. Retire immediately.
2. Change my phone numbers because instant money brings out the crazies.
3. Take care of my family and one special friend
4. Buy a big piece of land in TN, and a house in HI.

Invest.
