Financial windfall...I wish


My wife's mom passed a year ago or so. She inherited some oil stocks. Well, today she got the first big windfall.

What I was dreaming of..



What I can afford..



Sarcasm......

Actually though, I did just buy that 65. Gonna do a little work on it and flip it. Not exactly my dream Vette, but sure fun to play with.

Take a deep breath. You'll need a financial advisor and a tax expert. Don't go crazy, pace yourself. You've got a lot of...oh, wait, nevermind.

Make sure you cash your windfall before the check is void. Smile

You may make more from the capital losses than the capital gains.

Nice.
My mother is 86. Her aunt passed a few years ago and it was discovered that she had set up trusts for her nieces and nephews. After the dust settled my mother ended up with quite a bit of money. I told her that at least she could be trusted to spend it responsibly now.

Which 'Vette is your dream?

The mid-years have a great look to them, IMO. The 4th gen was plain ugly, 5th gen a little less ugly but much more performance.

I had a 2003 Z06 with some light mods. I will have a Z06 again one day.

67 with a 427 would be sweet. I kinda like 07-13 with a 427....

What are all the electrical boxes? Seems like a lot of power on that wall?

This was the garage it used to live in. Sorry, no clue what all the electrical is for. And yes, he only drove it once in the last year. Sad.

Sadly, M&M's are more expensive than a penny a piece - at least in the smaller bags. ($1.50 bags have way less than 150 M&M's). Maybe if you shop at Costco Smile
