But...I would pay off the Z... get a supercharger, the 19" TE37's...I cant afford that right now ...... black/white paint job, with Jason( from Friday the 13th) airbrushed slashing out from the rear passenger wheel well (haha..seriously), buy my husband a boat and thats all Oh and hope to find a cure for my bulldog's f*cked up allergies. Again..just curious to see how many Z owners want money for their cars haha

Probably pay off the car. Put the rest in some house upgrades.

I'd pay off the Z, probably take half of what's left and throw it towards the mortgage, then keep the rest in the bank.

Well I have grown up with the mindset I need to be investing at all times, while still enjoying life, but investing first.
It does become annoying when I could just drop loads of money on a nice house or into my car and have TT/SC body kit, etc. Being responsible sucks sometimes, but other times.

At retirement time when you're going on world cruises and others are eating TV dinners in their apartments, then it's really

Id prolly finally buy my Z in cash fully....
Twin Turbo It
Whatever other mods I wanted to do to it
Put 20k down on a small house with garage
Get Lasik Eye Surgery
and put the rest in the bank.

Cause when you really think about it... 100k really cant buy a whole lot nemore. Plus Im only 26 so I figure I got a good 40-50 years before retirement so I have time to save lol.

100k is a down payment on a house here..So it would go towards that. And maybe a little on the Z but nothing more than just simple bolt-ons(my car is stock).

First I'd pay Uncle Sam his share of about 30%. So what would I do with around $70K? I'd leave the cash in the bank and investments while borrowing against it. Then the pricipal would be used for kids college funds.

YES..I'd love to buy a GTR...but paying off the Z would be 1st on the list! $601/mo is killing me...seeings-how I'm buying a new house in 16 days Money is going to be TIGHT, but totally worth it, I think. Got the car and the house I wanted....and the family, I can't leave out. But an extra $100k couldn't hurt haha. Be nice to not have to worry about the future, ya know
