Yours for only $117,000 plus taxes, and of course you'll also need a CD player and amp to go with it which'll add another $30k or so the cost.

I'd probably bankroll an entirely new political party, engage and fail miserably at several business ventures like real estate, donate some to charity, and of course, build myself a gaint house with everything I wanted. Perhaps without going broke in 5 years and developing a nasty drug habit.

what i would do with that, is find a CD that had nothing but gunfire, pop it in, crank up the volume and open up all my windows. If for no other reason than to test the response time for the local police department.

What could be more decadent than unabashed capitalism?

"They said space tourism couldn't be done. They said private space companies would never be profitable. Well WHO'S LAUGHING NOW? BWAHAHAHAHA!"

I want my own island, with several SAM sites plotted around the landscape, and a stupidly high-speed connection, a massive home on top of a bunker, much like sea skimmer's, except with mine I want big fucking mirrors all around the outside that utilise TIR to make the bottom half of my house invisible.

It would of course have it's own laws, dedicated to hedonism.

This calls a song to mind....

"I wanna be hedon... I want too much of everything!
I want my very own island .. in the sun!
And I don' wanna worry 'bout anything!"

Besides the obvious building of a tricked-out spectacular mansion and providing for my family for life, I'd buy out several LARP companies and place their people under the direction my friends to make their LARP idea work. These companies will continue to run their own games, and I'll pay to fix up the sites they usually use. Since they are Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts camps, I can probably get a tax writeoff. I would also pay to advertise them on radio and TV to attract more players. Once our LARP is ready to go, I'd buy a couple hundred acres of land and set up the best permanent LARP site ever created to act as the main location. Then I'd renovate campsites throughout the US and market the game nationally. It would have a professionally maintained database for characters and a website to disseminate information about events all over the country and maintain a consistent, accurate in-game history. Basically, I'd attempt to start a profitable nationwide LARP, so on any given weekend, players all over the US are never more than a couple hours' drive from a game.

I'd start out with buying several houses aroudn the US and world. One in LA, one in Boston, one in NY one in NC, probably one in colorado and one in Indian Hill Ohio which would be my main residence (just because I'm rich doesn'y mean I want to stop seeing my friends from around cincy).

I'd then buy the Reds from Lindner and promptly quadraple the payrole, I'd also give Mike Brown a call and see if I can buy the Bengals from him. I would then be the sprot god of cincy.

I'd then go buck wild at some car dealers, each house would ahve to have at least a ten car garage and they would all be filled. Of course I'd maje sure all my relatuive were well off enough that they wouldn't need to worry about money again. Then I'd get a couple planes and copters, and a license to fly them.

Then I'd enjoy myself, I'd also set up some charity organizations but msot of those would be local not national as I think such programs are more helpful since they're is usually less beauracracy involved.

Buy Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment and kick the damn teacher's pension fund outta there. Fire coach Pat Quinn and hire someone competant that the players get along with. Dump a bunch of useless players and rebuild the Leafs into a Stanley Cup winning team. Start a new dynasty of Maple Leafs dominance in the NHL.

Of course i'll also buy a nice house somewhere and a nice cottage up north and another one in the mountains. After that I don't know....

Hell, with that much money, I'd like to end(and start) a few wars, and set up a puppet government somewhere where I can get filthy rich off of it.

Other than that, the usual- I'd like to build an actual castle(with modern luxuries) for my house, have a grounds and yard with a hedge maze, and build a James Bond car.

I'd probably buy a small country, maybe Belgium or Holland.

Then behold the Republic of Mike Nugent.

Not Belgium! noo! Theyre my favourite European Country... Buy... Luxembourg or something...

Belgium. The only country you can walk across in a day, which has 3 international airlines based there

Yes 3!

Sobelair, Sabena and Citybird.
