amazing guesses.

The point of my post? Same point we set up car meets or play charade. For entertainment. And my post did NOT come from facebook. How do I know? I don't have a facebook account.

Hopefully that answered your questions officer bitkahuna or shall I say teacher.
Yup. Just seemed like an odd set of constraints (1yr, sharing, give away, must spend all the money on car(s) but must pay for insurance, etc).

But hey, your thread... all good.

i guess you need to be somewhat of an a sshole like me to appreciate certain aspects of it, but the way you can basically just do whatever the hell you want to it and not have to worry about any real financial consequences is awesome (at least when you have 2 rare cars you really care about)... the thing's essentially a truck with a car body, and with the limited slip diff and cheap tires it becomes like the ultimate enabler for proper next level immaturity

ok you forced me to post the gif


also that big crappy inefficient engine makes a great sound, and it's a major bonus if the spot light has been left on haha... oh man fun times with that spotlight

edit: also the original post said that every dollar must be spent so idk how buying a single crown vic will accomplish that lol
I'm telling ya.... it's all about the engine note between 1000 and 3000 rpms!

But you killed my thread! You scared everyone from participating now. Remind myself...self don't invite bitkahuna to any parties. Especially kids parties. Bitkahuna is a kill joy! lol just kidn! I know you meant well. Although I wished you just played along versus asking so many questions. Speaking of...I got the idea from classic movie "Brewsters Millions." B

1) I'd probably buy the most powerful MKIV Supra I could find or a used S Class Maybach.
2) I have no idea who I'd donate it to. I'd rather donate it to someone who doesn't have a car, if that counts.
3) I'd share it with my dad. He's always been a car enthusiast and I think he'd really enjoy it.

The problem with the average $150k car is most of them can’t be enjoyable daily drivers. I think The Mercedes AMG GT bridges that gap between a daily driver and a dream car. You can drive it to work each day and there’s room to shuttle at least three colleagues to lunch

1. Mercedes AMG-GT :starts at $136k


2. Donate to any charity dedicated to animals



3. I would share it with a friend/colleague from work.
