    I would say: "That's where I put that!" The list would include: A Ram Rebel/TRX, a '68 Camaro SS 375/396, a Boss 429 Mustang, a Hemi Cuda, and a state of the art shed to keep them in.

    Too many mods and too much money
    First I'd go buy this , maybe a BB Chevelle or Hemi Cuda, and then find a hedge against inflation with the rest.

    in today's market, id buy whatever I could at MSRP, then sell them all for profit, turn that million into more.

    anyways, I thought of this when I saw the thread

    Not a single cent of free money would be spent to buy a Toyota. Will definitely buy some other fun car.

    If allowed to spend for something else other than car will buy the biggest land with the smallest house possible for the money..:)

    I'd still be sitting on my bed wondering how that money got there. And if me or my family is in some sort of danger.

    I'd definitely be looking into upgrading my security system.

    Buy myself an LX and a Taco TRD Pro in Lime Green Metallic
    Buy my wife an RX or NX hybrid
    Buy something new for everyone in our extended family and if I could, save some of that for the yearly taxes that come with them.

    Dump it into the vehicles I already own to make them the most built/badass ones around.

    Definitely wouldn't be another Toyota. I can already afford those.

    Prolly another bigger boat.

    One of these.

    I would rather have a Freeman but $1M isn't going to cover it.

    Boo to anyone who wouldn't buy another Toyota!

    I would buy a bunch of them. :)

    Here's a few off the top of my head:

    0731_Toyota-Crown-MS75.jpg

    Crown MS75. A good candidate for a 1JZ swap.


    3b8576d2851392902027dbcc85803f53e85ed2b2.jpg

    2000GT. This would be driven to and from shows almost exclusively.

    Toyota-Mega-Cruiser-01.jpg

    Mega Cruiser: perfect overland platform!

    Toyota-Supra-MK3.jpg

    MK3 Supra. Another 1JZ swap. My favorite Supra.

    57a8e499eb51effaf9496cd6820dc66c.jpg

    2nd gen MR2: Poor man's Ferrari

    celica12.jpg

    RA21 Celica with a 152E engine! NA, 300HP, 9000 RPM'S!!!!

    Cybertruck for 2 reasons. It’s super fun with the tri-motor, and I’ll need those bulletproof windows as somebody will eventually come for that missing million dollars.

    Good question. I’d rather buy a house on a small island… however….

    New 4Runner Pro and a 2021 Landcruiser. Then I’d pick one to keep.

    911 Turbo. Just because. (0-60 in 2.2 seconds)

    still got $700,000 left over.

    then it would become investment vehicles.

    They only made a little over 300 (311 or 317 I think), so they're tough to find. You can see the only 2 convertibles in "James Bond : You Only Live Twice" as Sean Connery was too tall so they cut the roof off. :D

    That was not at all stock.

    The Celica came with an 18R-C 4 cylinder with probably 70 or 80 hp back then. The 152E is an 18R-G (dohc) that's bored and/or stroked to about 2.2 litres, and has 4 carburetors. It's a pure race engine.

    That particular Celica has a sequential transmission and can be seen on Youtube kicking ass around a race track.

    Here's a link for your viewing pleasure! :burnrubber:

    My manual gear driving skill is pretty rusty, haven't driven one for a good decade. I wonder how I will perform if I had to drive one.

    I drove a manual while on vacation this summer in Iceland. Hadn’t driven one in 7 years. It’s like riding a bike. Muscle memory will return in short order.

    Too many….Is that a thing?
    First would be a school bus…..filled with hookers. Second would be a semi filled with beer n blow. You all would be invited to the party to help me decide what was next. The empty bus and semi would be given away as a door prize after the party :)

    I would have my investment advisor handle the cash and immediately retire. Then I would rent a condo on the beach in Manta, Ecuador and not even need a car. Just live on the interest. Stay in Manta for a few months, then move to some other beach.
