[QUOTE=X12321;49509670]And 70% of people who win go bankrupt, so many odds to beat :cry:[/QUOTE] Idk how you can go bankrupt with $800 million net. A family can live for life on the interest alone from that. Unless you're buying like a brand new Nissan GT-R Nismo every day for 30 years...

Antoine Walker had a net worth of something like $110,000,000, he bought his entire family mansions and cars, bought tons of properties in the Chicago Suburbs, and co-signed a lot of bills, now he lives in a tiny apartment with his family in chicago.

Stocks are stupid when you're set financially for a dozen lifetimes. And handing out money to family members is part of his issues. I wouldn't give much of anything to my in laws.

If you gave everyone a million dollars, a million dollars would no longer be a lot.

[QUOTE=Snoberry Tea;49510274]Excuse me just what exactly is wrong with any of those things[/QUOTE] the thing that's wrong is that I'm not winning the cash in that scenario.

[QUOTE=agentfazexx;49510315]State run and federally run are different.[/QUOTE] you said government-run. the state government runs the lottery.

[QUOTE=agentfazexx;49510315]State run and federally run are different.[/QUOTE] He didn't say anything about it being federally run he just said 'the government' State government definitely fucking qualifies as 'the government'

[QUOTE=Rangergxi;49510486]Well if you printed the money instead of taking it from rich people and redistributing it, etc.[/QUOTE] No it still wouldn't be a lot. The richest 20% of Americans own 85% of the nation's wealth. That totals about $1.02 trillion out of $1.2 trillion. Assuming we spread $1.02 trillion amongst 250,000,000 people that's only a little over $4,000 each Whoop-dee-doo

My boss bought a used 2006 F350 utility diesel at 300k miles and it runs well. Take care of a Ford and it will last you a long time. Aren't Chevy and GMC the same truck with different front ends. :v:

The real solution is to buy every Ford Ranger on the market because they are one of the best light trucks. Then, get a Raptor and Power Wagon.

It's gonna go to someone who won't make good use of it. That's usually how this works.

[t]http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/USA-pickup-truck-market-share-chart-January-2015.png[/t] That being said, Ford has been in a steady decline and is being overtaken by Chevy/GMC Also yes: Chevy and GMC are the same company and same chassis but not the same truck. GMC is Chevy's high-end line. Better parts & QC goes into GMC vehicles than Chevy vehicles. Not an uncommon practice in today's economic climate for a company to have a low/mid and high end brand under two different names. It cultivates, as above, cult followings and brand loyalty.
