BuddyRich Posted February 21, 2010 #1 Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) I didn't win the lottery again tonight. But I was shopping for my new vehicle just in case. IF you won the lottery tomorrow What vehicle would you buy for everyday use. I was looking at a F450 King Ranch for 67k. http://images.loqu.com/contents/162/626/image/2009-05-15/3.jpg Didn't wanna go quite this far with a F650. Be kinda hard to park all the time. http://www.f650pickups.com/mmb.jpg Edited February 21, 2010 by BuddyRich
N3FOL Posted February 21, 2010 #2 Posted February 21, 2010 Your choice is not bad at all. I may go with a big truck just like that Ford to haul all of my toys and a whole lot more.
CMIKE Posted February 21, 2010 #3 Posted February 21, 2010 Sorry to hear you did not win AGAIN. I love your choice...I always wanted a dual wheel one ton 4 door four wheel drive. You said the 650 would be hard to park...absolutely. But...I got a single wheel 4 door F250 4x4 this is hard to park most of the time. Most parking places around here are not long enough...and not wide enough for a real truck. You have to really pick the places you stick it... Forget going up town and expect to stick it somewhere to run errans.
ahoutzer Posted February 21, 2010 #4 Posted February 21, 2010 I already have my everyday use vehicle of choice -- a Royal Star Venture. If a pot of money fell into my hands that was enough to pay for the three kids going to college and pay off the house, all after tithing, and still have some left over, my wife would get an F150 to replace the mini-van and I would get an adventure bike or trail bike to handle the gravel roads.
Wanderer Posted February 21, 2010 #5 Posted February 21, 2010 I'm with Ahoutzer my every day ride is the bike. I don't honestly know, but I think I would just get more bikes. Maybe one for every day.
Skid Posted February 21, 2010 #6 Posted February 21, 2010 I'd buy myself a nice Dodge with a Cummings...... OH. I have one...
Steve S Posted February 21, 2010 #7 Posted February 21, 2010 This subject is just a little too deep for my shallow mind...
Renne Posted February 21, 2010 #8 Posted February 21, 2010 Parking doesn't seem to be a big concern here in Mn,,,,The "NEW" craze seems to be just park any dang way you like....pull in on an angle,,take two spots if you like, leave the rear hang out 3 or 4 ft., park in a spot to the right so far as to block the car to the right where the driver has to enter from the passenger side....heck....anything goes it seems and GOD forbid you say anything! What's even worse is not being able to see the lines!...Lowe's parking lot looks like a scrapyard....cars every which way......GONE is consideration,,,especially the young punks with hats on backwards driving diesel duallies! Renne,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,(I got a nice business card that goes on the windshield)
Hazenson Posted February 21, 2010 #9 Posted February 21, 2010 3500 GMC with every gadget available- with a big ole Toy hauler ( camper type with room for a couple toys rsv and whatnot) wife says she just wants a big ole 5th wheel and a toy hauler and we live in that and just tour from m&e to m&e. Im sure I could learn to live with that

Renne,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,(I got a nice business card that goes on the windshield) Easy now Renne. You really need to go for a putt. I think I'd buy a new RSV and have "Monday" painted on the tank, then go get another one and paint "Tuesday" on it, etc.. Of course that's fine around here, but with all that money, who'd want to stay around here. I'll have to get another one and paint "Vacation Bike" on it Later, Scooter Bob
Condor Posted February 21, 2010 #11 Posted February 21, 2010 Make it an F250 Harley..... http://img1.classistatic.com/cps/po/100125/552r3/3645k7h_20.jpeg
mraf Posted February 21, 2010 #13 Posted February 21, 2010 Make it an F250 Harley..... http://img1.classistatic.com/cps/po/100125/552r3/3645k7h_20.jpeg Nice looking truck but you would be embarrassed when you moved it. It might tend to puddle where ever you parked it.:rotfl:
BigBoyinMS Posted February 21, 2010 #14 Posted February 21, 2010 I've been a gearhead since I was 13 so I would have something one-off. I would probably spend the price of a new Dodge Diesel Ram on modifying and upgrading my '04 Diesel Ram. But I have always wanted a full custom early 50's Buick or Merc. The big surprise would be the Dodge Cummins powertrain that would go in it! http://www.hotrodhotline.com/classifieds/images/8699678.jpg http://automotiverhythms.com/archive/images/td_2010DodgeRamHeavyDuty_1.jpg

Gary N. Posted February 21, 2010 #17 Posted February 21, 2010 Since we're dreaming here, I'd like one of these. 1935 Deusenburg Model SJ http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6a/Duesenberg_Convertible_SJ_LA_Grand_Dual-Cowl_Phaeton_1935.jpg/230px-Duesenberg_Convertible_SJ_LA_Grand_Dual-Cowl_Phaeton_1935.jpg

Renne,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,(I got a nice business card that goes on the windshield) Those type dont park around me too long. I recently went to a movie(3 hrs) and I intentanaily parked behind some young punk and blocked him in. When I came out this guy was fuming. Evidently he parked his brand new super charger piece of crap illegaly and had to wiat the entire movie for me to come out. He was leaving a movie as we went in. he had called the police trying to get them to tow my explorer and they wrote (spelling) him a ticket instead and told him he was lucky my truck wasnt in the way as they had already seen his and would have towed his if I didnt park in the way. he showed his rear end a little too much and started threatening my wife and thats when he got introduced to my friend mister ruger. He got real quiet and sat politely in his car till i moved after that. and as far as my dream car if I won the lottery. I would have a 1968 gt 500 mustang in original shape. That would be a little expensive but who cares I just won the lottery. David
eazyduzzit Posted February 21, 2010 #19 Posted February 21, 2010 I would probably stick with my F150. I have to have a truck for my woodworking, but I don't really want large gas hog that's hard to park. In fact if it weren't for having to haul my MF1429 tractor every now and then, I would probably go with a smaller truck, maybe a Toyota.
Grandpagak Posted February 22, 2010 #20 Posted February 22, 2010 nuthin fancy for this fella.. nice used 97 ford 1 ton duely, with extended cab, and deisel engine.. nothin new, just nice, but maybe tree or four of them.. after all ... if i winned the lottery, I COULD AFFORD TO DRIVE IT..lol:rotf:
slick97spirit Posted February 22, 2010 #21 Posted February 22, 2010 Been wanting one of these for a long long time.....
