Invest it, continue making my current salary and upgrade my Sonata Turbo to a new Taurus SHO. It would beat most cars up here in the mountains.

The short answer is none, we paid cash for our current vehicles which are the ones we want.

I would be pretty conservative and probably just pick up a couple more resto projects. I'm thinking a '59 Eldorado Biarritz, a '50 RR Silver Wraith and all of the parts and materials for the restoration. Even with everything top shelf, not including my time, probably only looking at around 150-200k invested into the projects. The remainder of the $1M would in part be invested into ingots of precious metals, mostly indium and gold. I can line the trunk and rockers with them to smooth out the rides even more and watch the values skyrocket over the next 20 years as they sit in my garage.

An Acura NSX or Nissan GT-R for a daily driver and a Maybach for when I want to be driven.

Probably give my Yaris to the daughter and up grade to a Corolla...
Although not a car one of these camper vans would enhance my retirement..

The Vanquish looks awesome, but no manual transmission, thus, I'd stick with the DBS.

I'd buy a FordGT, Zo6, Dodge Viper and a Ford F750 Cummins powered tow vehicle, plus a three car open trailer to haul those cars to all the open track events for the next year.

Plus put the rest in the bank.


BTW turn 69 next week.

I'd buy the lowest mileage, completely stock 88-91 Honda CRX I could find, then use the rest of the money to hopefully never have to work again. And actually, I only mentioned the car because this is the Automotive Forum. In reality I might not even bother with the car.

LR4. I will need the rest of that money to maintain it but it sure is a nice SUV!

I would also buy a tricked out rock crawler and take it out to the desert every weekend.
