I would immediately start looking for a really nice used custom sportfishing boat and call some captains and mates that I know and start looking for a good crew. I’d then set up meetings with the top NC boat builders, see which one I like best and then drop a deposit check to get on their waiting list.
After that I’d buy a slip at pirates cove at oregon inlet NC and start fishing as much as possible (the boat would travel to the DR or Mexico in the winter months) and working on building a tournament team. I’d also get a Netjets membership so I could get around to place to place. I’d probably also ending up buying condos or houses in different fishing hotspots around the world and maybe a lodge or ranch out west somewhere. |

I think the only thing I'd really want to shop out on the car would be the paint...the rest of it, I'd be happy to learn the hard way  Yes, but get two so when you fuck up the first one.... |

Get me a panhard armored amphibious car for my trips to the city. ( I’d also some full auto weapons, buy a BTR-60, Sherman tank, and if I had real money, I’d source a tiger I, tiger II and a Jadgtiger and do full restoration on them.

Btr-80a customized inside for RV style comfort. Several thousand acres of mixed woodlands in a Midwest state. Build a bunker several stories deep. Build a shitty junk yard/trailer park on top of it and offer rent cheap to fill it with tweekers. Pretend to live in a trailer there, but the trailer really hides the secret entrance to the bunker. The bunker vehicle entrance is concealed in the garage bay of the rental office building.

Quote HistoryQuoted: A Phenom 300. Duh.. I know a few guys who are billionaires. And I asked them how they reacted when they hit it. Both pretty much didn't do much of what is on this thread. One bought a new house on 17 mile drive Pebble Beach area. And a part ownership of a spiritual retreat in Utah (I think that was for his wife). Myself, I don't buy anything. With that much dosh you RENT everything. I would travel a bit at first and would RENT a Gulfstream 800 kitted out with legs so I could go anywhere. Hire a crew with sober pilots and attentive flight attendants. And hire a "man Friday" that basically does everything for me so I am free to ignore phones and people. After a year of decadence that might set all time records buy a residence or two and start donating to worthy causes and try to impact the future of the world that way. As to things like cars and the like sure I'd have a few but not important. Experiences are what matter cause life is short. |

My main goal with lotto millions would be privacy.
buy a huge chunk of land, say 5000 acres at minimum with access to river or lake put a off grid capable house in the center, sitting on top of a nice milspec bunker complex complete with under ground parking complex. Fully outfitted and stocked for the apocalypse. Turn the property into a play ground with milspec pop up target ranges, HUGE class III gun collection, dozen Thompson’s, dozen grease guns, dozen mp40s, a dozen mp5s, a dozen m16s, a half dozen m60 mgs and 1/2 dozen m2 50 cals for my mil vehicles, as well as a fully operational quad 50, along with with a dozen or so armored vehicles, and other mil / tracked vehicles, with a combat course where I’d battle tanks against each other with paint shells, large a atv trail system, PT boat for boating , great hunting, etc. make myself some good friends with ex spec ops dudes, sponsor some charities, have big cookouts, and enjoy life.

I'd start with making an offer on this site.
After that, a membership only range for the life members. Then I'd go to work making a replica of Nürburgring Nordschleife, stateside of course. After that, Mrs. M4ger and I could be on a real estate hunt on a little larger scale than we've currently been on. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: An island just outside of US territorial waters so I can make my own laws, machineguns and whatever the hell else I want to do on it without fear of being raided or some busy body HOA momma complaining my grass is too high. This absolutely. I’d want it for a vacation property / bug out location. 1. International waters, or attached to a country my money could buy gov protection. 2. Stock it, total off grid 3. Heavy weapons and milspec bunker complex 4. Sweet decommissioned / armed navy boat of some kind, maybe buy something from Russia, etc. a lightly armored patrol boat kitted out with heavy weapons. Obviously we’re talking BIG lotto win, like hundreds of millions after taxes. But I’d do a version of this even if all I had was 5 million. ( large piece of land in USA, off grid house and bunker, gun collection, armored vehicles, hunting, and a sweet bug out location / island somewhere outside the USA. |

Stupid but fun? 04 Volvo C70 convertible. White. There's one for sale three hours from me, and I could certainly afford it even without the lottery, but I'm out of town the next few weekends already so don't want to make the drive for something like that. Not having a job would significantly increase my free time though.

My earlier answer indicated that I would likely be ordering Jeep parts and upgrades, but if we are talking about a huge lottery jackpot, I wouldn't be surprised if I eventually found myself looking for a T-34 fuselage and an E55 that was out of annual with timed out engines (lost logbooks would be a bonus, since that would save me even more money). Then I'd be setting up a shop hangar to remove the wings, tail surfaces, and nose from the E55 and put them on the T-34 fuselage, along with IO-550 engines, Colemill's nosebowls (the ones that were installed on the Foxstars that got the four blade props), Hartzel three blade scimitar props (the model STC'd for the 58), and Colemill winglets. I'd have to think about whether or not to add the long range tanks. Fuselage from this  Attached Filewith other parts from this (but newer design 3 blade props)  Attached FileIt would be fun, both doing the build and flying it (though I would need somebody with a license sitting in the back seat), but stupid from a practical view. |
