Powerball

Powerball is up to $420 million.. Friends at work were talking today about how they would spend it. What kind of car would you buy first?
I would get a 2016 challenger hellcat and a Z06 vette

Trade my '13 SS for a fully loaded 2016 2SS vert. Then I'd trade my '10 Dodge Ram for a new Dodge 3500 dually diesel and a beautiful 5th wheel. Then I would get my gal, her daughter, and her grand-daughter the vehicles of there choice (within reason). Next I would add two more stalls onto my current garage, take a deep breath and ponder what to do with the rest of it.

Money for all my immediate family would take a big chunk of the rest.

If I won $420 MILLION, yeah first dealership I would go to is Lamborghini and order an Aventador. Then a Z06, and a new truck, and a huge house with at least a 4 car garage.

I bought 20 quick picks for the last draw and got...... 2 numbers matching total. Total letdown.

Top of the line Jag F - Pace for the wife, then mod the Camaro with the finest stroker parts and supporting mods. Buy my Dad whichever car/truck he chooses at Mecum or Barrett Jackson...then house payoff, land, and trust fund for the kids

I'd buy a bigger house and 2-3 new rides. The rest, I will spend it on hookers.

I'd track down 1969 ZL1 Camaro #55 and 1967 L88 Corvette #20 and buy them at whatever it took. After that I'd be filling a VERY large climate garage with super rare muscle cars.

I'd buy a house with a garage just so I could keep my Camaro in. Living in the city I don't even have enough room to install a carport... ridiculous.
