Ok, so all of you are thinking that you would win 70M, well, the taxes on that are a lot on that, so don't expect to get much from it.

I think I would buy a 1971 Superbird 450cc only 71 made in that combination. I would buy a house witha lot of wilderness nearby so I could hunt and fish and I would probably start a shoe company(a small dream of mine). If I didn't win I would still try to find a superbird rebuild it and try to get a job at Nike or Addidas or Puma designing running shoes.

I would commission a moddified Cray supercomputer (or what ever the current generation of supercomputers are) that would play Windows games! Could you imagen having somthing like that! and of coures a big screen tv to go with it. after that the rest would have to go to the bank to pay the electric bill..........


Or


start building my dream tech van. Start with a cool looking slope front van like a Ford Sprinter, add an additional generator to it or maybe a fuel cell. Then install a dash computer, long range car phone with both cell and satalite service and a modem. then a fax machine, and sattelite tv service. and in the back every video game console ever made all put into one dish washer sized unit with a big flat screen tv.



or maybe I'd just by An M1A1 Abrams tank and drive it every where.

I'd probably build an arcade from an old warehouse or something. Have an entire section devoted to games like Ms. Pac-Man, Centipede, and Galaga.

I know, but outside of religion or politics it's hard for me to think of a lot of people I want dead... :lol: And most of the names comming to mind are dead already...

well, I guess somebody still has to stop the parade of bad Nicolas Cage movies once and for all.
