What Would You Do If You Won $164,000,000

yeah right - 164 million and your not gona spend like a drunkin salior--

sure could build and equipt one nice shop.

NOT me! Hahahahaha!

But you all knew that already

Been poor all my life and I KNOW what a dollar is worth, afterall, my Galaxie only cost me $1,500 adn there was no way in hell I'd have given the guy the $2,000 he was asking even if I had won 164 million the week before

(then I'd buy my membership to FM back form Mikes66 LMAO)

I think I buy a 1964 427 Galaxie and put a set of 30" wheels and Hydraulics on it and drop it of for FE as a daily driver......

One word......disappear!

I would buy half of Mexico and declare it thunderdome, then sell tickets.

Hell, I didn't even click the link. If I won $164 Mil, I'd build myself a winter home in Fla, a summer home near Syracuse NY with a hugeass well equipped shop, buy myself a double car lift Semi trailer, a good tractor to pull it with, buy myself three new DIRT modifieds, several Enders motors, both 358s and 467s, all of the tires, torsion bars, shocks and everything else I needed and set out on the DIRTCar Modified circuit. I'd buy my daughter and family a nice new home near my NY headquarters, put my son-in law to work for me, make sure that my grandaughter Waldo was set up with a trust for her adulthood....wouldn't matter if she wanted to be a doctor, garbage collector or a stripper, she'd have money. Then I'd help some friends achieve their dreams. Deb, we'd definitely put the Shotrod back into '70s shape...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!


AWESOME!

That's more money than any "normal" person should have to deal with. I'd build myself a nice home, a big garage for all my toys, help out some friends and family, then stuff what's left in the bank. Hell, I probably wouldn't even quit work... I just wouldn't have to worry about anything anymore

Awwwww thanks

I think the first thing I'd do is become debt free then get a single level moderate size house with at least a 3 car garage. A mother inlaw house out back somewhere (but she can't live in it, that's too close, just using the common term) for friends or family when visiting or whatever. Maybe my own doghouse at times. Get the shotrod fixed, get me another '64 but HT, get the man his 4x4 and then get us something economical. Hmmm, haven't even moved in yet and already need to expand the garage!! LOL

After all that, invest and live off interest. Don't to go too overboard and buy all these big things and some how spend it all then can't afford the taxes etc on it and lose it all. Be right back where I started. I'd probably help out a few friends and family also. At least pay all the debts they have cause most aren't that deep compared to a 164 million to spend.


The closest I ever came to lottery money was a kid I went to school with won but don't remember how much now. His wife's name is Debbie too. Maybe our extended time being gf/bf impacted him somehow. It was a full weekend! hahaha

Not me, Deb. I'd pay off my existing debts, Buy me an old gas station, you know, like they used to build in the '50's and 60's with an umteen stall garage with a lift and grease pit. Sell my existing house, use the cash from that to build a second story onto the garage/gas station and furnish it in "early greasemonkey", Outfit that garage with every tool I could think of or dream up, move my '66 galaxie, my '89 Lariate and Myself in, bank what was left and live off it and ......"live happily ever after in spite of high gas prices and open header laws."
