Buy back my parents old property, and renovate the house to what it should have been. Seriously, that would be my asperation.

I always said that if I fell into large sums, like a lottery, a whole lot of people in my circles would wonder what happened to me.

I know two multimillionaires. 90% of their time, your average passerby would never figure they were wealthy. Always admired that about the two. One still drives his mid 80's Ford 4WD.

I know one too. Last year bought a Mercedes SL550. Just sold it 2 weeks ago for a Mazda Miata. And somehow made 8 grand profit from the sale. Lol.

If I become billionaire? Rebuild Singer Building in NYC as luxury apartments.

If I became a big millionaire, probably a humble villa in Italy and a Singer 911.

Best friend and I were talking about this yesterday when returning from a hunting trip. After the stupid things, we think the honest answer would be a really nice motor coach and one of those chef-drivers-provisioning-accountant types to do everything but wipe asses. It's how we'd go from hunt to hunt. That would be the life for me.

In that case, I’ll settle for polished Al hot rod flames on the front, and a polished “mud flap girl” emblazoned on both sides of the vertical stabilizer.
