    Okay,.... I'll admit its kind of a stupid game, But we've all thought of it in our minds before...

    WHAT IF you win the Lotto for like a zillion dollars, The wife immediately snatches it and puts the clamps down on it... However she..(and your brand new accountant) agrees you can buy whatever three (3) Hot Rods or Customs you want. Something of your own creation, or a historic car or maybe a famous car. There can only be three. What would they be ?

    *RULES*
    *You are married, and these are the rules.
    *You can't divorce her, dispatch her or have her committed. (to take half, or all of the loot)
    *There can only be Three (3) new acquisitions However you keep the cars you currently have.

    NOTE TO MODERATORS :
    Yup !.... This is kind of a stupid thread, an exercise in fantasy and futility. However it might provide a fun distraction from all the stupid stuff going on in the world today... (If this is beyond the pail of normal stupidity, please feel free to remove it, destroy it etc. )

    I'll go first...

    2. The Tom McMullen Roadster
    3. Pete Chapouris's Cal Kid

    I've got bad news for you.
    From how you have described the scenario, I think your wife is sleeping with your "brand new accountant".
    Funny how he has shown up immediately after you won "like a zillion dollars".......:rolleyes:o_O:D

    At a Zillion Dollars IMG_2991.jpeg
    being married would not be an issue. She’d buy acreage and build 2 pole barns. Fill one up with cars and live in above loft and the other would be the shop.

    So I ask, why rules? :)

  23. For me it’d have to be the following , the Stone, Woods and Cook 41 Willys, the Graffiti Coupe, and last but certainly not least the Dave Stuckey 40 Ford.

    62 Catalina super duty 421 4-speed with Swiss cheese frame. Maybe aluminum front end, don't know though as I'd actually drive it.

    65 Pontiac Lemans wagon, blood red, factory rallies, 421/428 4-speed, gto front end and interior, tinted windows with A/C as this would be my daily driver...

    Not sure on number 3

    ....

    Oh, don't fall for that old chestnut. If she's capable of sleeping with him, she will be telling you lies to cover it up.....

    Can't play the game. My wife would never do that, and if she would, I wouldn't have married her.
     
  29. If Congress would pass the Fairtax bill then you wouldn't pay any tax on income. Check it out.
