Yup, just like the title says. If you had a limitless bank balance, what kinds of pointless things would you buy?

Oh, yes, and a new PC to run that junk. Something with a Quad Core and about 16 GB of RAM.

I don't know that I'd buy anything other then a house and new car...I'd use it to travel ALL over the world :D


...and then buy houses in all those countries so I can have parties >.>

And then you'd fly us out to party in your houses, right? ;)

A very large number of machine guns and enough ammo to keep them fed.

Also, land for my house, and my own private firing range.

I'd probably also buy up some commercial property in a really developed & bohemian-ish part of Birmingham like the five points, so I could make a restaurant, and run it however the hell I want, even if it ended up losing me money.

An airship to cruise the world with.

No, not one of the little "blimps". I mean a new and rad design, about 5,000 meters long, 500 metere wide, 500 meters tall, that has accomodations for 1,000 people in style, can travel up to 100,000 feet in height, and cruise at 100 knots. It would have a runway on top, with a defense force of two dozen Su-37 Terminators and AEGIS with 500 VLS launch cells equipped with nothing but ESSM Quad Packs, and goalkeeper CIWS.

Oh yes, the airship would also be able to cruise into lower orbit, and it has the capbility to submerge and dive to a maximum depth of 10,000 feet.

Dr. Pepper. Not just the drinks. Oh no. The Dr. Pepper Corporation.

I would probably by a chocolate factory and turn it into my own Willy Wonka style paradise. Without oompa-loompas.

I'd end up with my own road course, several hundred acres for rally roads, a very large garage filled with interesting cars and a lot of fuel. Probably would do it somewhere in either Washington State/Oregon or upstate NY.

I'd keep my current car, do a full STi drivetrain swap, and aim for around 400 wheel HP. I'd probably keep it as my daily driver.

I would buy 40 used Kias, put in roll cages and do a mixed surface track course. You're all invited.

I'd do all kinds of silly stuff like a GM LS3 in a 97/98 240SX, R33 Skyline GT-R drivetrain in a 1973 240Z, a blown 302 in a Volvo 740 wagon (RIP Paul Newman), a stock Integra Type-R, supercharged Lotus Elise, a Kenne Bell 04 Mustang Cobra, a modernized and a classic C2 Corvette ('65), modernized '68 Camaro, 20B FD RX-7, a 13B-REW single turbo 2000 Miata, 1991 BMW M3 turbo'd, a rally prepped Lancia Delta Integrale, an Escort BDA, a slantnose Porsche, a Porsche 997 GT-3, a Noble M12 GTO R3, a Ferrari 360. If possible, a Ferrari F40 and C1 Corvette.

I'd tour Europe in a late model Audi RS4 and follow the WRC around.

I'd also build a new PC. Why not?

I'd probably buy Alpentol, and then let no one onto the slopes so that I could have them all to myself. That's really all I can think of atm.

You, sir, have won for greatest answer of all time. Especially if you decide to expand the work of the Dublin bottlers.

Land, a house, and a graduate degree. Maybe a doctorate. All in theology. I'd also buy an X-Box 360 and a PS3 just for the fun of it. I'd also start a school.

I'd buy a tour bus, drive from one coast to the other, and buy everything on the way. Then, on to Asia =)

Buy myself a WRC team and go have fun. Or do the WRC.

That and own a huge property with a cattery. And a house for Stig of his own and a servant for his needs.

I would waste it on things I would never want to have in writing :)

An MLB, NFL, EPL or LFP sports team, then I'd have even more insurmountable amounts of money to travel all over the world and buy hotels, so that I can live there and make even more money

Travel. I would spend the rest of my life trying to see every single part of this world, its wonders both natural and man-made, its creatures, and meet as many people as possible in the process. Then maybe, by the time I'm 60 or something, see things beyond Earth with my own eyes.

And risk this face? o_O

No, thank you, I'd leave that to a billionaire, I'll be a trillionaire

I think we'd get thrown out for mooning people. (not really just for being utter smartasses). I think we'd get in in trouble for saying that the FIA has ruined rallying :p
