Probably a rehash of an older thread, but what the hell.
I am going to make a harsh (good actually) assumption- that if anybody on ppot won the lottery tomorrow (not a small amount- a large amount)- they would not stay idle- they would create something.
But what would it be? What project? Anybody could buy a lamborghini- or a big house.
But what would you MAKE or CREATE?
If I won the lottery tomorrow. I've posted this craiglist ad several times..it would be to adopt this ugly duckling:

Would I buy a 991? Sure- as a mindless daily driver, but my heart would be here- in the old volvo 240 model I went to school in-
I would disassemble it, blast it, clean it, lift the rear a wee tad, redo the brakes with all around disc, redo all brake/ gas lines, install a corvette crate motor, install upgrades to handle it, redo interior ala magnus style. and keep the original burgundy color.
There is just something about this wagon style and the original scout rims that I just really like. Even the green primer. Can't put my finger on it.
Buy a big house in the hamptons? Hell no. Fix this. Hell Yes..... Thrash it around local 4x4 trails. YES.
Why? I dunno. It just speaks to me.... I just need the time to do it.
