Just spend a week or so paying off all my bills. Then spring for a catered lunch for my co workers. Then some serious home remodeling including a brand new kitchen for my wife. I'd have to think about it after that.

I'd buy one of the properties around here with an empty warehouse on it... and then I'd fill it with snakes.

Quoted: Fully restored, but modern conveniences, 1972 Ford Bronco. View Quote I'm pleased to see someone else choose this. An LS-powered early Bronco with modern contrivances would be my DD of choice, but without looking like a show car. Decent paint, 2" suspension lift, discs, PS and A/C. Something that always starts, stays running, warm in the winter and I can take the top off. |

Quoted: A Sherman tank with a functional gun(they are out there…class 3) and a lot of land to blow things up. View Quote The main gun is not that difficult. It's just regged as a destructive device, $200.00 tax stamp. Now, feeding it will be the challenge. The secondary guns will take a bit more work, but nothing money can't solve. The real cost will be in getting all the other stuff normally carried in and on a M4. |

Brand new snowmobiles, trailer and a rig to haul them. Then just chase the snow and ride until I was bored of it.

Hire the best violinists/cellists/bassists/pianists to come play music for me in a quartet in my living room while I surf my newly acquired Arfcom after brining back all the good banned members.
Get land and huge pole barns with all the cat construction equipment to play in the dirt in along with mechanics to maintain them. Tons of military surplus vehicles too. Build multiple shooting ranges on land and also acquire a shitton of FA. Have professional farmers/chefs on staff to make everything from scratch. Buy some MB&F watches.

I would buy the houses on both sides of my boss’s, even if I had to offer twice what they’re worth, then turn into section 8 rentals.

Probably a Superperformance GT40. Or a Cobra. Or both. Wimbleton white with guardsmen blue stripes.
And a Honda Africa Twin. Oh, and a houseboat. |

The first tract of land from neighbor #1. It would be fun as hell to start with a reasonable, fair offer and then just start doubling at each "nah". I'd then go to each subsequent land owner and pay stupid prices until I land locked myself with several thousand acres (or 1/4 of my money was spent). Then buy two sets of excavating equipment - one for me to tear up and one for a professional to operate.
After that would be easy - start building a modest 500k$ house and start high fencing the entire place with electric offsets and strategic areas for varmints/predators to come and go as they please. |

Enjoy the temporary contentment.
And then make some kind of plan that continues that. |

Anyone else seen Beyond The Reach? The 6X6 Mercedes truck Michael Douglas drives?
Is that available in the US? Because now that the newest H1 Hummer is about 15 years old that might be cool to drive for the sake of being obnoxious. |

VERY first thing after the tax man is off my back... ALL bills get paid.
Present rent gets paid forward for a year, ditto utilities. Buy 8-10 acres somewhere around, off the mains but not in the back of beyond. Prepay property taxes on the piece 20 years forward. 1600 ft^2 prefab house kit. Two mid-'70s ford f100s, and parts to match. No blasted fancydan electronics, but beefed up, new everything. And a garage to put it in. Some fine Amish carpenters to build me their great furniture for the place. My granddad made the local Amish guys rich that way, good heavy actual WOOD furniture. Rest of the money gets divided into 12 1 year CDs, set up to where every month one would mature. Go into the bank, draw off the interest, and ram it back into untaxable CDhood for another year. Other small things, of course... attached underground cold room, water wheel for power, go to MTARS and offer each one $1000 for their membership, then tear their charter to pieces and piss on the pieces. These are not sophisticated, shiny, new things, clearly. I apologize for lack of appropriate vivid imagination. What I have left is a more, to my mind, practical imagination. |

A few thousand acres then build a huge single story house with elevators.
