One problem.

BMW M6 - Estimated MSRP $85,000.

After taxes and additional fees, that leaves you with about $910,000.

The average CD yeilds about 3.26 percent for one year (only 3.91 for 3/5 years, so don't go that way either, but you'd need money to live on, so we'll stick with one year for this example).

That'd give you about $2,400 a month (assuming you could budget the end of year dividend
from the cd for 12 months).

The average McDonalds worker in the US makes about $280-300 a week ($7 an hour, full time), so that's only double a McDonald worker's wage... doesn't seem like the kind of living you'd expect for someone driving an M6, now is it?

Buy a 1000hp E36 M3, an M3 GTR, an M3 CSL, a 2001 M5 (love the look), 760Li for special stuff. Give $10,000 to my friend to make his 92 Daytona faster and look better. Buy my friend Nicole a car. Kick my parents out of the house and buy em some cheap shack in the middle of nowere. Then probably spend the rest on guns and shit. Stuff that goes boom.....

Complete the E30 restore. Then invest carefully

**projal147** · 12-11-2005, 07:16 PM

I would start an ultimate car collection:

1. 1967 Ford GT 500 Shelby (AKA Elenore) (Silver) - ~250k
2. Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale (Red with the hand painted Italian racing stripes)- ~200k
3. Dinan M5 (Black)
4. M3 CSL (Silver)
5. Mercedes-Benz G55 (Silver)
6. Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged (Orange)

and hire that ultimate garage guy to build be an underground garage to house my cars will fully dyno facilities and wash station and full tool kits so i can work on my cars myself.

and then save anything that is left over to enjoy.

And Projal, a 1967 Ford GT500 Shelby Mustang replica can be bought for about $85,000-90,000. The real ones only fetch like $150,000.

Well, with another million, I'd get an Aston DB9, a Ferrari F430 Spider, and an old Range Rover, so the dog and I can go shooting in comfort.

I'm surprised someone hasn't said "two chicks at the same time" yet. I was thinking that'd be one of the first posts. haha (officespace, anyone?)
