Anyone remember the name of the member who had the 14 foot tall statue of the monster from Predator in his house? Probably buy something like that too.

Imagine coming home drunk and seeing that in your living room.

B-25 while I'm still young enough to fly it around with my son.

Then a couple hundred acres or so and some NFA toys.

Tropical island with happy, topless native girls.

And a volcano.

And a trebuchet, so I can practice launching commies into the volcano.

My list is short:

Power boat in the 55ft range. Azimut?
Another vote for a Singer 911
M16 and a new state where I could use it.
Airbus AS350 and some lessons

That's about it. I'm a simple man.

There was a thread here quite a while back about what to do if you win the lottery. Jist of it was: "tell no one".

I already broke that rule. Told my boss that if he sees me rolling up in aforementioned car, to go ahead and start looking for my replacement

Next: Helicopter hog hunt with my dad.

100k acres and an impressive security fence, modest house.

Probably a Hellcat for daily driving. Then a lot of land, and multiple barns/garages. Then a bunch of trucks, some tractors, implements, and trailers, and a couple SxS and ATVs.

I would likely hire a ranch manager/foreman - tell him my to do list, give him a line of credit, and tell him to call me when it is done. That would be a very well spent million or 2. Of course it would include restore the old ranch house (so he would not need to live in a trailer), recreate that barn (from a pile of debris), several miles of fence, clearing over 100 acres, stable, multiple run-in's and a new ranch house), 10 miles of manicured trails, etc... Hell maybe even a stream - I would like a stream. How much does it cost to make a stream from scratch...

This, and whatever kooky shit Pagani has come out with in the last decade.

Buy a nice house somewhere surrounded by farmland that I'd lease out to whomever, but not after carving out a few hundred yard range for myself.

A Cobra kit car from that South African place that makes perfect/better than perfect repros...then build an appropriate garage/shop to build it in, and all the tools and equipment needed to do so. 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

A new C8 corvette or Hellcat. I've never owned a new car and I don't even own a used one anymore so a new car. Just once before I die I'd love to own a new car.

I'd buy a white guy for a couple of years.

Doesn't really have to be white guy, per se, it's just the predominant demographic of mountain guides.

After a bought a some property and had my new modest house under construction I’d get a cabin on a lake with 2 boats. One pontoon and one fishing.

I’m not a big time fisherman but enjoy being on the water.

a helicopter.

And then a bunch of toys- lots of dream motorcycles that I haven't owned yet, an Aston Martin Valkyrie, a paramotor, and a few properties around the country to enjoy them between.

That's a cool idea... have them build two, with mine being a turboprop conversion.

Lots of NFA stuff

Biggest island I can buy in Florida. And build a castle on it.

Or buy this big hill behind me, build a giant black stone castle on top that shoots 200' high flames at random times all night.

I would buy the largest body of freshwater water I could reasonably afford and not get too low on lotto winnings. I would stock it with huge catfish, stripers, smallmouth, etc. I would make it a haven for ducks and geese.

It would be my own hunting sanctuary.

Then I would buy some land in the outer banks, Ocean City MD, and gulf coast of Florida. I would dock a large fishing boat at each. Then a small plane and pilots license so i can get to those places easily.

I would also build several houses in the Midwest with airports. This way I can get anywhere in the country easily and land at my own airports along the way.

I would build lots of private game preserves.

I'm counting this all as one big thing.

If it were a large jackpot I'd buy this five million dollar 71 HEMI Cuda convertible and drive it across the country to sight see.

Cat 994. Just because my neighbor is always giving me crap about how I should have bought a bucket for the small tractor I use to mow the grass. No other reason, though I could probably use it to clear a flat spot for the barn, that's ten minutes...

Very first dumb purchase?

That's easy. A Nelson Racing engine and new transmission for a CVPI. Hilarious grocery getter for record times back and forth!
