If I Won The Lottery I Wouldn’t Tell Anyone But There Would Be Signs: COTD

Here’s a fun thought exercise I’m sure we all do from time to time: What would I do if I ever made it big? Well, I’d definitely buy a first-generation Audi R8 V10 and a Lotus Emira, and then I’d love to rehabilitate an Art Deco building to be home not only to me but to all my cars and motorcycles as well. Maybe I’d create my own Klairmont Kollections. Then I’d toss a bunch of cash at causes like helping other trans people.

What else might one do with made-it-big money? Lewin wrote about a very narrow Jeep that’s joined by a double-wide Jeep. We don’t know who built these things, but I agree with TheDrunkenWrench here:

Not gonna lie, if you have “fuck you” money, stuff like this is a great way to waste it. I love these!

How about a double-decker articulated GMC RTS-II bus? That’s how I’d spend too much money. Or heck, maybe a fully functional version of The Big Bus:

This morning, Mark wrote a Shitbox Showdown featuring two old camper vans. Well, maybe they were campers when they were new, from Gaston:

they spent the summer road-tripping shagging in it. Now they’re having a baby, and don’t expect to be able to do much traveling

FIFY

Jason wrote a Cold Start about a dinner we had with a stunt driver. There, she explained that a director once demanded a car that was “the one with the horse on it.” There are so many options here, and Hangover Grenade has another funny one:

Then when he says, “No I meant a Mustang, you moron!” you bring him a P-51.

Lewin wrote about how the Chevy Vega had an air filter everyone hated, but did the Vega actually last long enough for that to matter? From Zorah:

That’s ok. The head would warp before you’d need to change this. When I was a kid someone abandoned a brown Vega on our farm. My dad acquired it, took it home to Raleigh, and removed the head. After it got back from the machine shop he put it on the curb and sold it for $500. Every day he would go out and raise the price like ten bucks to get buyers to move fast. It worked!

Huh, this is the first time I’ve seen raising the price work as a tactic! Dogisbadob made the same hilarious joke:

Maybe they though the car would rust to death before the air filter needed to be replaced anyway.

Ouch. Don’t worry, I plan on bringing some positive press to the Chevy Vega next week. Have a great evening, everyone!
