What are the first 3 things you would buy besides a house and investing the money. (because obviously everyone would do that)



Black 997 GT2

A 968 for my friend to get him hooked too.

(yes I changed my mind)

Well, since I can't say buy a house or invest it (nice disclaimer to let us all off the hook - ME LIKEY!)...



1. Porsche 968 Turbo S - Daily Driver. (~ $50,000?)

2. Porsche 959 - Showroom only. *Maybe* a weekend car. (~ $450,000)

3. Porsche Cayenne Turbo - for the wife. (~ $100,000)



... leaving me with about $4.5M to play with.



Now about that house....

The 997 GT2 is an incredible machine, clearly one of the finest sports cars in the word, at any price. Good choice!



I would enroll in every racing school I could find, and then compete (assuming I got good enough at it) in the Skip Barber series. Since they have several series all around the country, this is something I could do almost year-round. And I would do DEs every weekend races weren't held.



Also, I've built up so much sentimental value toward the 968, that I think I would go completely crazy and drop about a hundred grand worth of mods into it (I know, a very stupid use of $100G, but I love the uniqueness of this car).

not a big house kinda' guy.. I'm perfectly happy with a sub-3k sq. ft tastefully designed home in a very nice setting, but I'm sure my wife would find something more suitable to spend at least 3 of those 5 mil.. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/dry.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> leaving me with just the disposable cash necessary for the following vehicles in my four car garage: DB9 coupe daily driver, 599 Fiorano for weekends, CL55 AMG for the wife, some safe, reliable Japanese car for my son, and whatever money is left... all towards tequila ! <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/smile.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/wink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> I looooove tequila.

BTW, I still would not part with the 968 ! That's a keeper.

Since I can not buy myself a house, I would actually buy my mom a new house and a new car. A nice car. Not sure what but something reliable. She does mostly city driving so I might get her a nice Civic Hybrid. She likes smaller cars so I think that would suit her well. Too expensive of a car and she wouldn't drive it.



Then I would buy my wife an Audi S4 Cab.



And for myself would be a low mileage 993 Turbo.

I have a house that I like, so I would put a couple of hundred thousand into upgrading it. I would buy a garage somewhere so that I could expand my car collection to include a Porsche 997 GT3 RS, an Audi S6 Avant, a 1964 Shelby Cobra FIA, an outlaw 911 and of course my 968.



I would invest a couple of million in the winery that my brothers and I are planning to open sometime in the near future. I would make a very sizable contribution to the rehad center that put my son on the path to a sober life.



Lastly, I would use the remainder to set up a charitable foundation to be used to support medical and mental services for this country's veterans.

Interesting responses. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/blink.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />

Nice to see that most are not blowing there imaginary money on the uber expensive cars. (minus ds968 <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/tongue.gif" class="smilie" alt="" /> )

Most are keeping it simple.
