Thread: Strange Idea From and old buddy

So i was talking on the phone with a guy that i use to work with a few years back and we where talking about cars. Some things you should know
1. He is a Country boy(from the country acts black when i is really white)
2. He Owns a '91 sunbird
3. He is a Ricer...
Anyways back to the story...
He was telling me how he entered a contest to win a Million Dollars. So what does he want to do with a Million Dollars ??? not buy a new car no that would be to simple he wants to throw a 6.0 GTO engine in his car and convert it to rear wheel drive, buy a body kit, get a new hood, a new spoiler, etc.. I paused for a second and just asked him if he was serious ?
the guy who has 2 kids that he can't support, his car has no paint job it has been in 2 wrecks and shows damage and the thing is ready to blow up, and he can't think of any better way to spend money??? is it just me or is that a bit odd ?

You forgot to add his DUI records.

Dude there are allot of dumb ppl out there.

actually he just got his license back lol

Oh well, look at it this way... what are the odds he'll win a million dollars? LOL

Honestly though, sounds like he needs to get some prioities straight. He sounds like the type of guy instead of making sure his kid is fed and clothed, he'd spend money on soemthing stupid and for him only like a car (that is, if he somehow got a good chunk of cash). There are many people like that out there, I know a few myself. I feel sorry for the kids honestly. I know kids who don't have a damn thing and parents who drive news cars they can't afford to fit in with certain crowds. Its bull**** and people like that should have there kids taken away. But thats my opinion...

x2 that

hmmmmmmm, after taxes.....thats still around 500,000......

A little chlorine for the gene pool please.

yea some people just need to get their priorities straightened out which is what he needs to do the last thing he should worry about is what he is going to do with his car, as long as it gets him back and forth to work to pay the bills that is all that should matter to him right now.... Here's an update he decided that he was going to put up with his babies mama's **** so he doesn't have to pay child support... what is wrong with that picture ???

thats a sad story haha a ricer 91 sunbird or w.e with a gto motor lmao wow HOMO lol

he thinks it would be so much fast then a regular GTO, i had to tell him it may be a little quicker, and then he goes on with a story.... well your putting a 6.0L into a 1200 pound car it's going to fly, and then i stepped in and said " yea your car is probably 2400 pounds with the engine, rip out that little 4 banger and add yourself that new engine that you want and you are going to be adding more weight", but he didn't want to believe me and he thinks it would be faster then any other car. O and i forgot to add to the initial story that he wanted to twin turbo the 6.0L...

The real sad thing is that his kids will probably grow up to be just like their dad unless something abnormal happens to them and they actually grow up to be normal. But that hardly ever happens and everyone else will have to deal with them for generations and generations. Because I said this my luck would be this guy ramming into my car tomorrow and 10 to 1 he is driving around with no insurance.....

yea he just got it so that he could get his license back sad...

lol that would be good, or if he just lost... after wasting all that money, actually i am not even sure if the body would take it i think it is a uni-body so he wins but all that torque just twisted his car frame and he doesn't notice until the next day...

I have also known people to do stuff like this at the dirt track, cant afford a dentist, optomiterist, groceries or anything else for their families, but will spend five grand on a motor, just so they will never finish in the top five.
