What would you do with half a mil?
What would you do if you got a half a million $? In (quickly depreciating) U.S. Dollars.

Thrlls, you on the road yet? I saw a woody sticker at the "Checkers" in Mililani the other day under the woody emblem it said "MR HORSEPOWER" it was $7.85 so you could buy like 60,000woody stickers if you had the half mil.

I had to adjust the valves, but did not have the time or energy so I had C. Wong at European Auto Specialist do it today. The car runs great now and I'm trying to enjoy it as much as possible. Saw pics of your car and others on the Kole kole pass drive. I wanted to attend, but my car was not finished and I was at church. Must go to checkers and get some horsepower stickers for the woody now!  Hmmm...that didn't sound right. More like get some woody stickers for horsepower!

$500k? Get a CGT! Nah, get some appreciating assets. Gold is good or watch the market for some steals on real estate.

Pay off my student loans and all other debt.
I'd take what was left and put 1/2 into foreign investment securities and the other 1/2 to tell my boss to "take this job and shove it" and go open my own office.

I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with money.
Well, not all chicks. Well, the type of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do. I think that's my favorite quote from that movie.
