New England B.S. Thread

This one's about my toy budget right now: http://topclassiccarsforsale.com/plymouth/143603-1972-plymouth-road-runner-real-rm-23.html

 

I like the way you think

 

Hm... I'd buy a warehouse - convert one side to a loft living space, put a machine shop in the middle off to one side, 3 2-post lifts, 1 4-post alignment rack/lift combo, hunter tire machine with balancer and a full mechanics tool shop around the lifts. Toss in an engine building room with the proper measuring equipment, airlines to each bay/work station and still have enough space for additional cars. I'm sure I'm forgetting a ton of stuff but yea you get the picture. I hate body work/detailing so I'd outsource all of that.

Oh can't forget a max/min point of use hardware system in Lista branded roll out drawers...

After all that I'd import cars from oversea's to repair/sell in the states, get a dealer plate and just daily a new 4runner trd. I'm not into exotic cars - I like the smaller low cost sports cars. I can't even stand a GTR anymore after dealing with their owners for 6 years.

 

Wheels are here!! @Bruce988jl the bolts are all real bolts so if anything I could probably add a rock ring or whatever. Thinking about getting them ceramic coated or something. So not sure how picky I should be because there are some very slight imperfections that my OCD ass found lol

 

68 Firebird.


Or an 3rd gen C-10

I'd get an Aventador. However, if be afraid to drive it on New England roads.

 

My wheels have real bolts. Only thing they're useful for is rusting.

 

Yeah but you can take the family in the urus

Soooo, have you been inside my head lately? I've gone so far as to talk to my wife about it, and when we get to the point where I could afford to build the garage (much smaller operation than the lottery dream one) she has said she supports this idea. So if things go well over the next 10-15 years, my job/retirement might be doing this. There is a lot of things that I need to get done though for that to be a practical thing, but it's what I want to work towards. Even if I don't make it to that, I'd like a personal garage with a bad-ass set up.

 

I was thinking more because of the craters we have for potholes. I did see someone driving a shiny new NSX after that last real snow storm we had.

 

That's just crazy

 

Guy who owns it has too much money. Literally doesn't give a shit

 

It shows. Lol

 

I think he has a new one on order anyway haha

 

Back to the game. House would be awesome (of course) but would be somewhere around here I think, maybe the Cape. Another house in Maine and a nice condo on the beach in Florida for my mom in the winter. Other than that we would just travel, travel, travel. And I'd totally spoil my wife with jewelry starting with a Schlumberger ring from Tiffanys (she's defiantly worth it!)

 

Or... buy a Lariat with the 5.0, build the shit out of it and absolutely smoke the stock Raptor and likely the Hennessy also with true long travel. I think even with that much money i’d still be a fan of ‘built not bought’.

I would love to have that 6x6 and an Ariel Atom.

 

I saw a lifted, steel front bumper-ed, blue second gen on my way through Sudbury yesterday.

It was pretty tall with a bed rack, maxtrax, bells and whistles with stickers that said "Lets Go Places"

Is that anyone in here? It looked ready for Moab!

 

That reminds me, I saw a bumper sticker in the lot where I work. It said upside down ‘if you can read this, you must be in a Jeep’

 

Too bad I can only like this one time

 

You guys are all wrong. This was the correct answer.
