If you were wealthy, what ridiculous extravagance would you indulge?

[Merlin99]

I'm guessing I'd build up a business of some kind. Most small businesses fail because they lack funding and the first hiccup causes them to fail. Possibly a restaurant where the staff is paid enough that they are not actively trying to sink the place. You know a pleasant attitude, knowledge of the food to the point that they can describe its preparation and taste.

nope. a baby blue 1954-56 Coupe deVIlle.

Also I'd gift Lori from Bella an all-expenses paid beach vacation for her and whoever she wants to bring with her so I could get a good haircut. Not sure what it is with this place but I haven't had a good cut since I moved here and Lori is a magician.

That is not a business, that is adult childcare.

African safari- 1st class all the way.

Head over to LaPlata and become friends with Paul Fachinna. He does 3-4 a year.
Good man.

The list is long.....but it would start off with me disappearing for a few months to get everything straight, and then I would send golden tickets out via ooompa loompas to my

While an awesome machine, I don't see the first escaping any gleaming alloy aircars.

You'll loose them at the one lane bridge.

You'll loose them at the one lane bridge.

But you gotta stay ahead of them after spinning around with shrieking tires until you get to the bridge..........

 

[stgislander]

Define 'wealthy'? I truthfully can't think on anything besides maybe a house somewhere nice.

The aircars are Pinto-based.

I can't even imagine being wealthy. It would be nice to not have to worry about money, but if I were wealthy there would be all kinds of azzholes trying to suck up. That would just make me mad and hateful. I'm not lying when I say I'm content. I don't have to prove a damn thing and my life is good.

For your consideration ...



I'd buy off the local politicians and find land that would accommodate at least a 1000 yard firing range, in very close proximity to a liberal enclave. This range would also have a gun store and a country club on the premises as well. A pick and choose membership required, of course.

Good man.

You know old man Facchina as well? He has an awesome spread on the Potomac, just a couple of acres. Haha.

 

[PJay]

The only time I've wished I was wealthy was to help someone in need.

Not in MY head.......... They evolve to meet the threat...... BMW just released what would make an awesome red barchetta, if only they offered it in red..... Like that below, but with an inline twin turbo and a six speed manual. But the manual only comes in green.

I have been to Sr's house a few times, doing some irrigation work and to show him a few of the Cooper rifles I had ordered and picked up.
He deals with Atlantic Guns that then were in Silver Spring and Rockville, I grew up with the Schneider boys. One hooked us up so Paul could see what kind of rifles Cooper of Montana built at that time, they had brought an engraver on board. I have a engraved mod 38 with unbelievable wood that I ordered for my son. With meeting Paul at his office he invited me to his home.
I was lucky man and was given a full tour of his inner sanctum. Paul Sr is a good man.

Heres a few of the Coopers that I own.
