Oh yeah, I'm single.....just puttin it out there :p:D Air Force RX8 02-20-2005, 08:52 PM Yaaaayyyyy we're "stuck" with Morgan! Glad you decided to stay with us. Let us know what your real plans are... abbid 02-20-2005, 08:57 PM 3 rotor, doubtful. Good try tho :p Zio 02-20-2005, 08:59 PM you gonna install that by yourself Speed-ER doc 02-20-2005, 09:02 PM Plans are like fairy dust. Post pics when you are done. :) Aratinga 02-20-2005, 10:00 PM What happened to "Goodbye RX-8, Hello TORQUE!"??? Ahhh well. When I'm stomping on the new black GTO's go-pedal I'll think of ya. ;) Morgan 02-20-2005, 11:54 PM 3 rotor, doubtful. Good try tho :p In a few months i'll should be getting about 300k..I'm only allowed to touch half of that , and mozt if it is going to the RX8.. Aratinga:when i'm fully done, i'll be thinking of you while i'm beating the GTO's :p RotaryNoob 02-21-2005, 12:17 AM In a few months i'll should be getting about 300k..I'm only allowed to touch half of that , and mozt if it is going to the RX8.. Aratinga:when i'm fully done, i'll be thinking of you while i'm beating the GTO's :p Hmmm. And I need a sugar momma... Maybe we can work something out. :D Feras 02-21-2005, 08:51 AM In a few months i'll should be getting about 300k..I'm only allowed to touch half of that , and mozt if it is going to the RX8.. Aratinga:when i'm fully done, i'll be thinking of you while i'm beating the GTO's :p <little voice>:forget the 8 buy a porsche.... :D moRotorMotor 02-21-2005, 08:51 AM Fear the almighty Rotor Duckie! :eek: devoid 02-21-2005, 11:35 AM If you want custom...just let me know....I know you've seen my 8. :D I'll draw you up some plans if you do plan to put in some type of system. Elara 02-21-2005, 01:07 PM In a few months i'll should be getting about 300k..I'm only allowed to touch half of that , and mozt if it is going to the RX8.. Aratinga:when i'm fully done, i'll be thinking of you while i'm beating the GTO's :p That's an awful lot of money to waste on a car. Why don't you invest it and in 10 years you can buy an exotic and STILL have money left over. Gigolo Jason 02-21-2005, 01:13 PM Pay off a house, you will be better off in the long run. I, Claudius 02-21-2005, 01:18 PM In a few months i'll should be getting about 300k..I'm only allowed to touch half of that , and mozt if it is going to the RX8. With all due respect, are you insane? Think long and hard about dropping that kind of money on a car. You could get that new Samsung 80" plasma TV , for instance. markd 02-21-2005, 01:20 PM Seems like more chicks signed up to RX8Club since you disappeared. Maybe you should go away for a few more months so the proportions can start to balance out! ;) j/k Welcome back Morgan 02-21-2005, 03:12 PM :( i'm sorry..i'll leave again... **For the record, only 60k is going into the car...the rest of it is paying off stuff and then re-invested** jisoo26 02-21-2005, 03:20 PM Holy crap, I'd just dump all that into a Roth-IRA. You'll retire with something around $4 million+ (calculating off the top of my head and fudging a little bit). P.S. Don't leave! Pretty girls with 8's are always welcome :D Speed-ER doc 02-21-2005, 03:21 PM :( i'm sorry..i'll leave again... **For the record, only 60k is going into the car...the rest of it is paying off stuff and then re-invested** For that money, you can get Road and Track's "best all around sports car," the Corvette C6. Or better yet, wait for the Z06, although there are already long waiting lists. And keep your 8 for when you need 4 seats. phee 02-21-2005, 04:14 PM :( i'm sorry..i'll leave again... Don't you listen to 'em, Morgan. You stay put :) Good luck with your new wheels! NoTears316 02-21-2005, 04:22 PM For that money, you can get Road and Track's "best all around sports car," the Corvette C6. Or better yet, wait for the Z06, although there are already long waiting lists. And keep your 8 for when you need 4 seats. ... or you can get the same performance as the Vette for $10k less and keep 4 seats by purchasing the 2006 Cobra. Either way would be a better route than what you plan. abbid 02-21-2005, 04:25 PM 60k? Hello viper, here i come. globi 02-21-2005, 04:25 PM You could get that new Samsung 80" plasma TV , for instance. That's a waste too, she'd be better off with a wide screen projector and a white wall and spend the rest on my wine rack. :D Zio 02-21-2005, 04:51 PM In a few months i'll should be getting about 300k..I'm only allowed to touch half of that , and mozt if it is going to the RX8.. Aratinga:when i'm fully done, i'll be thinking of you while i'm beating the GTO's :p what you do sue someone? why waste money putting a 3 rotor in just buy a c6 or faster car if you really feel the need for speed. draco067 02-21-2005, 06:05 PM Holy crap, I'd just dump all that into a Roth-IRA. You'll retire with something around $4 million+ (calculating off the top of my head and fudging a little bit). P.S. Don't leave! Pretty girls with 8's are always welcome :D except the yearly contribution limits in Roth IRAs are (if I remember right) 4k this year, and are only increasing to 6-7k over the next couple. It would take the rest of your life to contribute it all :) jisoo26 02-21-2005, 06:59 PM except the yearly contribution limits in Roth IRAs are (if I remember right) 4k this year, and are only increasing to 6-7k over the next couple. It would take the rest of your life to contribute it all :) Hey if it means I retire a millionare, I have no problem tossing in 4k a year hehe. There's lots of other investment opportunities in the meantime...stocks, bonds, real estate (personally I'd like to own a couple apartment buildings!). SLUMLORD!!! :D christi88gxl 02-21-2005, 08:09 PM In a few months i'll should be getting about 300k..I'm only allowed to touch half of that , and mozt if it is going to the RX8.. Aratinga:when i'm fully done, i'll be thinking of you while i'm beating the GTO's :p you got 300k, and you're only 19? What'd you, sue someone big for something? If that money is real I'd suggest saving it in your bank account. ANd using it for something...say a house later on in life, or college or something that is NECESSARY. be happy you have a rx8, at age 19, hell, wish I could afford something like that, and im 21! Morgan 02-22-2005, 03:24 PM i'm only 18 actually.... And my college is paid off, i have a new house in south carolina that i can sell at any point if i need/want to and get atleast 1,000,000 for.....so that leaves fun w/my car...it's not just about going fast, it's about having fun and doing it with something that i really like... Zio 02-22-2005, 03:26 PM ok if you want to brag about how rich you are :D moRotorMotor 02-22-2005, 03:30 PM ok if you want to brag about how rich you are :D Morgan is actually the last person on the forum that wants anyone to know she has money. khtm 02-22-2005, 03:32 PM No big deal but I own a $2,000,000 house. No big deal though. I'm thinking about putting maybe $350,000 into my car next weekend, too. Not trying to brag or anything, though. Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I'm only 17. moRotorMotor 02-22-2005, 03:35 PM ^ You obviously don't know Morgan^ globi 02-22-2005, 03:39 PM Well if she puts a 20B in her RX-8 she'll have a unique car. Also at least some mechanic is directly gonna benefit from it. If she puts it on the stock market who knows who'll benefit from it? khtm 02-22-2005, 03:42 PM ^ You obviously don't know Morgan^ Well I don't see any real reason for this thread then. If she just wants to share her good news/bad news with her friends, e-mail can be quite useful. Zio 02-22-2005, 03:50 PM im sure she "owns" all these assets too because she was/is a young entrepreneur. neit_jnf 02-22-2005, 03:51 PM Any good stock investing advise?? ;) moRotorMotor 02-22-2005, 03:53 PM Well I don't see any real reason for this thread then. If she just wants to share her good news/bad news with her friends, e-mail can be quite useful. That is a little different. She never started a thread about how rich she is, only what she plans to do. People then questioned her ability to carry out such a feat, and she said she has the means to do so. If I was going to put a 3 rotor engine in my car...believe me, I'd let everyone know on this board and in my town :D. ezrider55 02-22-2005, 04:02 PM Have fun but be careful. A correctly tuned 3 rotor will take off like a JET. Morgan 02-22-2005, 04:19 PM thanks Mo!! I didn't bring up money at all until people started to quesiton things--my bad..geeze! I was just trying to clarify why/how i can do it... and for all you assholes who think things are just "handed"to me....i pay my monthly payments on my car, NO i didn't sue anyone...i INVESTED some money into the stock market (gee, theres a shocker) and one of the stocks is doing really well, so i'm taking the money from that one...My mom told me that she was rich, not me, andi needed to get a job and take care of my own shit....SO I AM....I work 30 hours a week and go to school...get off my back NoTears316 02-22-2005, 06:54 PM ...so that leaves fun w/my car...it's not just about going fast, it's about having fun and doing it with something that i really like... This will sound weird coming from me, because most of the people on this board hate me for most of my comments, but I actually understand where you are coming from. I hope your 8 turns out really great. Morgan 02-22-2005, 06:55 PM haha, i don't think you've ever said anything to me that i've disliked you for--but thanks!! :D RX8-TX 02-22-2005, 08:25 PM Well if she puts a 20B in her RX-8 she'll have a unique car. Not really. Done already.... :p A - C - O - S - T - A christi88gxl 02-22-2005, 08:32 PM Morgan is actually the last person on the forum that wants anyone to know she has money. If that was true, she wouldn' brag she has a house. though, im curious to know... how did you get a house by your self in another state? I assume it's your parents. Either/or, congrats, I suppose. Do what you want with the money, but keep the 8.. use the money for SOMETHING useful.... that'll help you on in life - cars will always be there.... other things will not. :) edit: for being 19, want a 3-rotor in a rx8.. eh, are you sure? They're pretty fast - i've seen a 3rd gen with 3rotor, and the 35 y/o guy could barely handle the car (drag). I don't think, you could do it , even being careful..... just my opinion. Well if she puts a 20B in her RX-8 she'll have a unique car. Also at least some mechanic is directly gonna benefit from it. If she puts it on the stock market who knows who'll benefit from it? wrong. She'll probably be the 5th or so person to do it. http://rotarynews.com/node/view/532 ;) NoTears316 02-22-2005, 08:48 PM though, im curious to know... how did you get a house by your self in another state? I assume it's your parents. I own property in Italy (Sulmona Abruzzi) and I have never even been there! Granted, she is 18, but it's not impossible. Air Force RX8 02-22-2005, 09:12 PM Good News: I'm keeping the rx8 and have made my yearly plans for it (ie stuff to make it better and faster *cough 3 rotor motor cough*) Bad News: I'm stuck with ya'll :p OK, for those who seem to want to bash Morgan for responding to the trash that was thrown at her, take a moment to re-read her original post (conveniently provided above). She was not bragging about $$ until others threw comments and conjecture her way. Leave her alone, she has been nothing but sweet to everyone on this forum. If you feel the need to preach about how she wishes to spend HER money then look for the little PM button and click on it. Morgan, glad you are still with us (even though I didn't get your clear corners, but don't worry I have some on the way)! Hope to see you at another meet again soon. Speed-ER doc 02-22-2005, 09:17 PM ^^what he said. <mwah> BlueEyes 02-22-2005, 09:25 PM Yeah! What he said, and moRotorMotor said and morgan said!! BAM! Luftwaffle 02-22-2005, 10:34 PM 300k/2 = 150k. 150k = Ford GT. :D Air Force RX8 02-22-2005, 10:57 PM 300k/2 = 150k. 150k = Ford GT. :D At this point I would be beside myself to be getting 10% of that amount to spend on my 8 right now. You go girl!! ;) Morgan 02-22-2005, 10:57 PM Christie:I've driven much quicker cars and am most cert. not scared of any kind of power it could make...with all the driving i've learned from various things (and i get to drive a race car next weeek...weeee) i'm pretty sure i'll be ok... Thanks to the rest of ya'll for supporting me...for those of me who kno me, ya'll know my intentions with just about everything/everyone is good and idon't try to brag about anything-but i was just trying to clear things up...:D |
