$5,000 to spend.

[El Jefe]

Since $500 apparently is not enough money to even consider spending. What would you do with $5,000 to spend any way you want to.

How I would spend it frivolously:

New tires for my 81 Riviera (gpa's old car) $600.00
New landau roof for the 81 Riviera $450.00
Bumper Fillers for 81 Riviera $500
Paint and install on filler $250.00
Brakes front and back on my truck $200.00 (just parts, labor is free)
Weather tech mats for my van and truck $500
Weatherguard tool box for my truck $750.00
Carhartt seat covers for my truck $200
Tile backsplash for our kitchen $450
Illuminated light switches (I have a bunch out) $100
I would take the last $1,000 and go on a weekend trip of some sort.

[WhawhaWhat]

Hookers and blow. 2 chicks at the same time.

[Marcellus]

Procharger P1SD. At least thats how I plan to spend $6500 soon.

[Iowanian]

I'd shoot pigs out of a helicopter for half a day.

[wutamess]

Pay off the braces for me and the child that's has them now. Like a BAWSE!

Which Wal Mart?

[chinaski]

Rolex Explorer I or Zenith El Primero Chronograph

or a nice O/U Shotgun

[Buehler445]

Probably additional principle on a land payment since it wouldn't be close to making a payment.

[Rain Man]

A bigger trip than I would get for $500.

[Iowanian]

I lied.

I'd probably just use it to be less pissed off on tax day.

[eDave]

2,794 Twinkies

[scho63]

2 week vacation in Maui

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Hotdog, hotdog....and Hotdog. (Fuck that commercial btw)

[Rasputin]

Buy more fishing gear and go fishing

[Hoover]

Well with 5k.

I would start the build on my survival camper trailer.

1. M100 Military Trailer $900
2. 4-man Autana XL Teoui Roof top tent $2,250.00
3. Honda EU2000 portable generator $900
4. 1: steel tube $400
5. Random other BS $550

Basically building this to pull behind either my dad's 1941 or 52 military jeeps.

I can think of so many reasonable and responsible uses of an extra(I'm assuming it's coming from somewhere else) that it's hard to get a list of just for fun things like trips.

I could make a farm payment, fix the PTO in my tractor, buy the 3 point 6' rotary tiller I'm going to get in the spring, start finishing the inside of my shop and add some additional wiring....or spring for that .338 Lapua....or a that M1919.

[stevieray]

savings account for my lil girl

[The Franchise]

Bills.

Unless we actually have to spend it on something.....then it would probably be a trip to Disney for the kids and a trip to Arrowhead for me.

Yeah, my gut reaction is that it goes into retirement savings, but I have to use it or lose it, I'd hop a freighter to Europe. I've always wanted to do that.

I'd love to own a 40's Willy. Tried to buy a junk 47' a few months ago that needed a complete rebuild but owner wouldn't sell. Its continuing to rot in an abandoned outdoor parking lot.

If I had to spend it on something other than bills, I'd spend it on several WWII weapons or a large portion of a WWII battlefield trip.

[temper11]

Plane tickets, hotel, KC BBQ and the best Arrowhead seats I could buy with the remaining money for this weekend.

His two jeeps are the best things he has ever bought. It's kind of like having a gator or mule but they are fully legal to run on the road. My Dad is getting older so instead of rafting down the Colorado, we now pack up the jeeps and just go camping some remote place. Been really awesome.

[seclark]

buy a 6pack and a can of cope.
give the rest to my wife to decide what we want to do.

Dads are all alike.

The first thing I thought of was pay off some bills. Next thing I thought of was trip to Disneyworld for the family.

[mikeyis4dcats.]

My buddy did this in Australia. They shot the feral donkeys by the dozens, and waited for the feral hogs to come, then mowed them down. Repeat. Don't think 5k even covered his ammo...

[mikeyis4dcats.]

Go to Spain.

Or maybe bite the bullet and do Disney. But I'd hate myself.

At least I can stare at the princesses.

[Bugeater]

Now we're talking. Down payment on a late model Chevy Silverado crew cab 4x4.

[Misplaced_Chiefs_Fan]

Trip to Scotland for the family.

[sd4chiefs]

1 Super Bowl ticket if the Chiefs get there.

Not if you don't fix the PTO :D

What kind of tractor?

[BWillie]

Poker tournament.

[Dallas Chief]

Disney World with my kids for as long as the $5k would last!

[Iowanian]

Go to Spain.

I think it was around 2001 I did 5-6 days in Spain for around $600...including air fair and lodging.

[Otter]

Feed my boxer for a month.

[SAUTO]

Feed my boxer for a month.

Lol, I feel your pain.

I've got two, and a ten week old rott that appears to eat as much as them combined

Oh wow, dude! I'm surprised you haven't resorted to grinding up homeless people into dog food.

[Iowanian]

I don't fly enough to claim to be an expert, but there are ways to get better deals, especially offseason.

In my case we booked really cheap flights to Majorca, that happened to have a layover in Madrid. It was hundreds cheaper than just a flight to Madrid.

[Buehler445]

ROFL@buying dog food. Not sure why but that exchange cracked me up.

[SAUTO]

Oh wow, dude! I'm surprised you haven't resorted to grinding up homeless people into dog food.

I worry the old guy down the street is going have to take one for the team if we get icemagedden this weekend.


He's like 98 anyway and ready to go.

We don't get enough homeless people around here and I would hate to have to put one in my pickup.

[threebag]

Drag him dogs love tenderized meat

[88TG88]

If I couldn't put it in the bank I'd probably get a Tom Ford suit

[Rain Man]

If anyone is undecided, you can buy an ancient Roman gladiator trident on ebay. (Handle not included.)

[LiveSteam]

I'd pay Russian whores to pee on each other.
