Title: What would you buy if you had money?
Post by: Grey Wolf on September 06, 2002, 05:33:36 pm: I'd buy this baby:

But I'm around $22600 short (I have $300).

If you had money, what would you buy? (Doesn't matter what)

Post by: an0n on September 06, 2002, 05:49:59 pm: Okay then. No more Nicholas Cage movies for you.

I'd buy and sell your sorry ass. :D.

Or failing that, a harem full of top-notch women.

(NOTE: The two things are not related in any way)

There's a difference between Fanny-Magnet and over-compensating.

Post by: Grey Wolf on September 06, 2002, 06:30:02 pm: I was talking about the "that is a sweet mustang" part. I like Mustangs. Especially the old ones. Got a problem with that?

Post by: CP5670 on September 07, 2002, 02:08:37 am: I would buy the universe. :D Actually, if it is restricted to road vehicles, it would be this:

Realistically speaking, I am probably going to buy either a large off-road pickup or a full-blown hauler unit similar to this: (can't find a picture of a real one at the moment, but it gives an idea)

A garbage truck with the front claw would be great, but it is considerably more expensive.
Title: What would you buy if you had money?
Post by: Kitsune on September 07, 2002, 04:56:18 am: Yup, PeterBuilt makes some damn good trucks.
12 cylinder diesel fun...
Garbage trucks are not as stylish nor do they have the same horsepower a Big-Rig does. (inline 8's are typical but never any bigger.) And they're not meant for anything over 70mph due to their screwed up transmissions.
However most of them are typically lighter International's with special bodies mounted onto their rear.

No style, no room, and slow and as unmanueverable as a cow on roller skates.
At least with rigs you can get an extended cab and some decent "living" area. (A bed with 12 square feet of floorspace and an overhead locker area.) I've seen some damn nice setups in those. (Microwave and mini-fridge in one corner, mini-tower, monitor, and a regular TV in the other.
And that's not mentioning the direct TV mounts on the outside of his truck under the air-deflector. Just point his truck relatively north-facing and figure out where the satalites are and boom, 200 stations (and internet) anywhere in the nation.

But since I hate driving something I can't see the rear of, I'll have to go with Grey Wolf's idea. A sweet as mustang, and a small harem. (Don't want too many, pin too many people together long enough an they go crazy.)

But if we're talking pure crazyness with our shopping power, there was this episode of Speed Racer with 'The Mammoth Car". Something like, 300 feet long, 20 wide, super-reinforced body and axles, every segment of it had two V-12's powering the wheels...
Ahh, too many cartoons all vieing for ranking positions in my mind.

And to blow stuff up, I'd get a Maus II.
(1,000 ton german tank that never made it off the drawing board, or concept stages. Would have had two 14" guns as it's main weapons with smaller anti-aircraft turrets at the rear...)

Post by: diamondgeezer on September 07, 2002, 07:56:15 am: First thing is pay off me credit card debt, utility bills, TV and internet bills, overdraft(s) and student loan, in that order of urgency.

Then, buy a DeLorean and the gubbinz to twin-turbo it, buy Fox and make them reinstate Futurama and release S:AAB on DVD (and buy that), and then rake all the remaining cash into a big pile, and sit on top of it with a big gold crown on me head and the TV remote in me hand. Probably, I'd be giggling a little at this point. Oh, and then go for dinner at Milliways.

Post by: Killfrenzy on September 07, 2002, 08:37:51 am: If I had the money, I'd get an F-16C, or a P-51.

Interesting; I didn't know they were less powerful as well. The main reason I am probably eventually going to go for a big-rig is that those are typically around $50-60k, which is quite affordable after saving up for a few years, while garbage trucks can go over $120k. I think most of the additional price comes from the hydraulic systems. The two actually are about equally stylish to me, but my tastes are a bit unusual. :D (this (http://www.macktrucks.com/product/image_dnld/le96_med.jpg) is what I had in mind; looks awesome :D) Probably too expensive for me though, and not all that powerful aside from the hydraulics, so I will settle with the rig.

Of course, this will be in seven or eight years after I get a job, but I can still dream on at the moment. :D (on a side note, I'm going into pure math and the only job available in that field is a univ. professor/researcher; my dad said that if I drive one of these things around a campus, everyone will think I am insane :nervous: )

Yeah, that's what I have heard as well, and these features sound quite attractive. :nod:
