Okay personally I hate space age looking cars, and don't really care for sports cars, with the Corvette being an exception. If I had a million dollars I would:

Buy a 2000 black 4x4 Chevy Suburban and put a one inch lift on it, good looking tires, chrome wheels if the default ones didn't look good, and a brush guard. Then I would put the rest in the bank. I remember doing this project last year determining if you had one million dollars after tax cuts and put it all in the bank, you would get approx. $80,000 dollars a month off of interest. Those figures were based on national interest rates at the time mind you.

$80,000 a month? Are you sure it wasn't a year?

Shit man we have about 3 wrecks a day in my parking lot because of dumbasses slamming into idle parked cars. One day this dude was pulling in a space with his bigass Excursion and hit a car, then panicked, backed up and hit the row of cars behind him. He started to put it into drive before like 4 of us ran in front of him trying to make him stop. It was hilarious but I felt bad for those guys who got hit.

that IS an ugly car. In my opinion, i'd really go with the sportscar. You know how fun those would be to drive even if you never went top speeds? They are practically luxury cars anyway....just extra performance enhancments. I would like to buy a McLearanF1 (spelling is wrong). BUT, that car is 1.25million dollars..out of the price limit. That car is my dream. Even to see it in person will make me shit my pants.

ok no one appreciates art. oh well. Realistically I my self would never buy that car. Like you said. IF I only had one mill, I would do smart things with it to make it 100 million. BUt I sure wouldnt buy a suburban. there too big and dont do what SUV's were made for, going WAY off road

A Suburban IS NOT an SUV bitch, it's a TRUCK, a man's truck, not some soccer mom pussy shit. Hehe jk. It's all about what you like. I like trucks, others like sedans, others like rice, others like sporty cars.

if I wanted to offroad I'd buy a Hummer (not H2, original Hummer), not an SUV, those things have a high center of gravity and can roll over in rough terrain, a Hummer was designed specifically to go where nothing else besides a tank or LAV can.

[quote="[DAS REICH]Unknown_Sniper":6a870][quote="Sgt Stryker":6a870]you need an ALQ/AN-144 jammer to keep the cops from cathing you for speeding, or coat the car in radar absorbing crap like the B-2 biggrin:[/quote:6a870]

its got 4 turbo chargers in it. it doesnt need anit detection biggrin:

Ok ok fine I get it you wont waste 1 mill. Should have asked the question better. If you had 1 million dollars to spend on a CAR and only on a CAR would you buy this?[/quote:6a870]

They made a big mistake with the H2, it looks like a ladies car hake:

And now i see more and more people with them everyday. Most of them women hake:

nothing would chance...I might have a bigger tv, more clothes, maybe a mor eexpensive car or a tiny bit bigger house...but money won't really change my style of life...just that i'd be able to afford the shit I already enjoy to buy without working as much.

and no...I think that car is ugly.

it's more than just the look, the Hummer is based off the HUMVEE, which is especially designed for a low center of gravity (while not sacrificing ground-clearance).

the H-2 is just a Hummer-esque vehicle with an SUV type chassis, IE too high and prone to rollover.
