Last Friday JZ and I were talking with Kelvin Cato as he was waiting for his car after the Tux and Tennies. Us- Who drives the best car? Him- I dunno Us- What kind of car do you drive? Him- Man, I drive a Saturn Us- Cmon, really Him- Really I do About this time the valet rolls up in his silver Bentley. hehehe. My question for y'all is, if you had $42 million and barely had to work (cmon you know it is true), what would you do with your money? What would you buy? Me, I'd buy an M5. And a horse. And a house. Hmmm, and some sweet floor seats in the new arena. ------------------ Poopy!
M5's are nice... But I'd buy a Range Rover, a Z8 and a big ass house in California... ------------------ "Awesome baby!" Dick Vitale
all of that.... and i would spend a whole season going to every Rockets game...all 82, home and away....plus all the playoffs......with floor seats at each game ------------------
first i would buy my mom and dad a new house, not that the one they live in is bad, but a bigger one. i would buy a house for my girlfreind and i . i would buy her a better engagement ring than i proposed to her with. and probably a nice car. ------------------ http://www.democrats.com mgh 1925-2001
I spend all that money on a permanent individual coach to teach me to play defense without jumping for eyebrow fakes and also to teach me catch the ball and finish. ------------------ "Repression never did me any harm (I finally ceased to include "stop masturbating" as one of my guilt ridden New Year's resolutions, but that's a different topic)."

I am a simple man...I'd get a fat new biggest Mercedes every year (silver) and an 80,000 dollar stereo for my home...oh, and a big fat new computer, like the kind Bill Gates uses....oh, and a basketball court like the kind Snoop Dogg has, except instead of Lakers colors it would be a replica of the Summit one...oh, and a vineyard like the kind Francis Ford Coppola has...oh, and a bicycle like the kind Lance Armstrong has...oh, maybe some new khaki pants and new black socks or something...thats about it. ------------------ Whatever you want to do, you have to do something else first.
I would buy a large portion of the rain forests in Asia and preserve them for their natural inhabitants, the orangutan. My dream is to build numerous nature preserves. ------------------ Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon is the greatest player in the history of basketball. If you disagree, you are not a Rocket fan.
ooooohh. I thought of something else I would buy (how in the world could I forget this???) DIAMONDS!!! BIG diamonds. And sapphires. Lots of sparkly stuff. For my ears and wrists and fingers and my neck. I would be dripping. ------------------ Poopy!
I'd help my Mom out. Not really sure how, pay off her mortgage or something. Whatever she wanted (she's got pretty simple tastes, though). My father already has everything a person could want. It'd be hard to find him anything that I could purchase that he doesn't already have (other than a better wife, but we've got to drive away the current one first). I'd put the bulk of the money into a trust for my sons (and any future children I might have). I'd probably give a few thousand to every woman I've ever slept with to help ease their pain and suffering from the experience. I'd probably finally buy a house, but not one that I couldn't afford already. I'd just pay for it faster. And I know I'd buy a Porsche Carrera 4 and probably a new A4 to replace the one I have now (but not until the new body style comes out this fall). I know I'd end up giving most of my money away. I know I'd give to the Phil Londagin Memorial Scholarship Fund up in the Panhandle. And I would likely give money to about anyone who I thought would need it. I know there are many times when I read something in the newspaper about some family that's down on its luck or whatever, and I sometimes send what I can to help (if there is a way to). If I had a whole mess of money, I know I'd give a lot of it to people like that. And I'd try to buy or build a bowling alley. Not to mention that I'd obviously finance my movies. But instead of getting some Amberlee Whoever from Amarillo, Texas to star, I'd try to get Amanda Detmer or someone like that. And anything I had left over, I'd give to Clutch to keep the site going. ------------------ Houston Sports Board Help Finance My Movie - Buy A T-Shirt or Make a Donation [This message has been edited by mrpaige (edited March 18, 2001).]
Man, I like this thread! After setting up an endowment at the University of Texas at Austin and setting up a few CDs and buying a few (hundred) bonds to keep things growing, I would buy... A ranch & horses A boat jewelery Season tickets to the Astros, Rockets & Texans ...and, last but not least... Kelvin Cato's silver Bentley! ------------------ "Blues is a Healer" --John Lee Hooker
without a doubt...I would buy as many of those ughly new townhouses in the middle of Montrose and bulldoze them, and put back up some original Houston bungalows.
I'd buy my parents a new car and a new house and give them about 5-10 mill, which they'd probably give back. I'd then buy a $300k-$500k house with a media room/theatre AND FREAKIN' NBA LEAGUE PASS. I'd buy a Viper and a McLaren F1. I'd donate about 15 million to charity. I'd then move offshore somewhere and enjoy the sun for the rest of my life and do volunteer work somewhere. Oh, and I'd call up every chick that ever turned me down for a date... hell, the long distance for that effort alone would be about $2.5 million. ------------------ "It doesn't matter. If it's the Lakers or the Spurs, I'm going to kill them." -- Cuttino "Jack" Mobley on possible playoff opponents.
MY MAN!!! I would deffinately buy a yatch, and a sailboat, and a Ski boat. then buy a petroleum company so i could aford to keep them filled with gas/deisel I would build paintball fields in ever city in the world, and host the first airborne tournament in a C-7 Galexy cargo plane, than have a tournament onboard a Super takner for a trans atlantic game ok so im carzy I would honestly open the paintball fields, and probably buy a new car something understated like an M1-A1 ABRAMS TANK!!(because all the coosest cars already drive around the streets out here in the hamptons) But NOBODY has a tank ------------------ Hanta-Force Paintball www.hanta-force.com
I'd buy my mom a new house, pay off my student loans (and my sister's). I think I'd buy a Bugotti as a car (or at least a BMW 5 series ). I'd apply to grad school and get on track for masters in political science, philosophy, and/or literature. I'd try to get a doctorate in one of those. I'd donate lots of money to my favorite causes, like Habitat for Humanity, the Interfaith Coalition, and the Red Cross. I'd eventually try to dabble in politics a bit. I'd form an endowment for a scholarship to BC. Finally, I'd get season tickets for the Rockets, Astros, and Texans (godawful name) as well as BC football, basketball, and hockey. ------------------ Boston College - Big East -East Division Regular Season Champs Worst to First in 2001!

I'd pay someone to play basketball for me (playground) cause I suck... ask mr_oily! hahaha rH ------------------ Homecourt will always be 'The Summit' to me!! Until we move downtown!! The Psychedelic Groove House of Rockets Basketball Love! Come and chat with us on game nights in CC.net chat!
My parents would never have to work again. My girlfriend's Mom wouldn't have to go to work (her father is suffering from Alzheimer's). My sisters could effectively get rid of their ******* ex-husbands (either pay them off or, you know, take care of them). Rockets season tickets, of course. I'd go to every single DMB (sorry achebe) show every tour, but picking the Rockets over Dave if there is any conflict. Then all the other charitable stuff like giving a tax break to the rich and junk. ------------------ www.swirve.com...The reason Al Gore invented the internet.
- Another Jetta. A VR6 this time. I'd get it in white. - Lifetime supply of Chewy Spree. I love that stuff. - Then I'd give the rest to charity or my church. ------------------ Hinei ma tov umanaim, shevet achim gam yachad.
