Question What to do if you won the lotto

I'd like to know how many of you would really keep your L if you won say...50 million or if you would go out buying exotic cars?

I'd finally get those exhaust tips of BaBolt's. lol.

Seriously though, I'd keep the L. No reason to sell it when you have all that extra cash to blow. I'd look into either a Ferrari 360 Modena or one of those new Lamborghini Murciélagos. Both of those would be sweet.

Mod the hell out of it, I second the motion on the 360 Mondena, and buy an nice big house.

And I probably would buy another just to have as a street legal, "daily driver" type 11 second Lightning (no NOS)

But first if I won the lottery, I'd pinch myself, then **** my pants, then do a couple of backflips and go tell my current "employer" where to go shove their rules adn regulations!

Talking :-)))))

What BlackBolt99 Said! About pinching myself. :-)

I would keep The L.!!!
Also would purchase another L. just like it and make a Hot Rod
out of it, make it really fast and tow it to the track with the original one! Actually, would have a tube chassis L. built to look stock and race it!

I've got a 32 vehicle garage designed (with enough height for 64 if you double-stack them on lifts) and have persistant thoughts of a tube framed, all wheel drive Lightning sleeper.

The first thing I would do is retain a lawyer and change my phone number. Then I'd probably go nutz for awhile. Probably have to build a garage like Leno has for all the goodies. But I would definaltley keep the L. Probably buy 1 of each year.

I'd keep it. It's a great truck. Besides, I'd need something to haul a bazillion dollars home!

Trade the truck in for a Gulfstream. Have car service limo do mundane daily driving. Buy track-only car(s).

LOL who knows

Once I was SURE I won, go to my job, do a handstand in the aisle and poop myself. Then pay someone to clean me up after enough people barfed.

2. You guys would see nothing but tailights at the track and the hood of the L would get raised for no one.

3. Get me a REAL 427 Cobra in red, a real Boss 302, a Thunderbolt, a 6-pack 69 Road Runner and maybe a 62 red vette.

4.Clear all debts, get a RV and boat, then get out of town.

Only takes one ticket to win. I doubt that's one of mine. I'd be so fired up I'd more than likely fall on my a$$ and kill myself, then the wife would take it all. Well, wish in one hand ........
