Default If you were to hit the lottery.

We all have dreams of hitting the lottery and never having to worry about money ever again. Whenever the topic comes up people are surprised that I wouldn't buy a Ferrari or Lamborghini. These cars are just too flashy for me personally. I would buy more cars, but I know I would keep my xB. I would probably buy a couple more actually and mod them all differently. VIP xB, JDM xB, Boosted xB, Bagged xB, whatever.

So here's the question, what would you do with near limitless spending on your xB?

1. DAMD Lion Hart Body Kit ($1100+$$$ to make it fit)
2. Ichikoh HID Headlights ($2000)
3. JDM Clear Glass ($900)
4. 18" Super Advan V.2 Gold ($2700)
5. Alcantara Interior (????)
6. Crazy Nice Soundsystem ($7000)
7. Fabulous Inferno Dual Oval Muffler ($1200)
8. Tein Super Street Coilover ($1300)

Stuff under 500 dollars is assumed to be included, like cruise control and the like.

Not only would I keep my bB but I would add an xA and a tC to my stable.
I'd have one completely stock and another one completely modded out of each for a total of 6 Scions.
I'd prolly also import a real bB and opendeck just for kicks.

I'd find myself an 80 to 81 Corolla and hook that baby. The xB would be an afterthought. I figure I'm at least keeping it in the Toyota family.

I'd finish my box, then buy another box, then buy an xA, and an echo, then but a lotus and a Porsche GT3 RS (wet dream)

Only reason I would ever sell the box is to pay for medical expenses or something of the sort.

I'd keep the box, but fancy it up a bit more than I have the budget for now. Nothing crazy, just new paint, air ride, different gears, slightly nicer stereo, and a set of Work Leadsleds.

I'd also have a stable of wackier cars (1960s Mercedes-Benzes, 1970s Citroens, RWD Celicas, Landcruisers, and another 89 4Runner. Maybe a Unimog and a Pinzgauer, too).

I would def keep the xB, and get a few other cars (GTR, Elise, CLS AMG maybe)...

A few additional mods to the box-
Schmidt TH-Line 17x9 w/Radinox lips
Air Runner
Power Enterprise supercharger... or ITB's. Or both (unlimited budget right?)
rear disc brake conversion
Webasto sunroof
red leather upholstery
interesting JDM kit, maybe NKB or Garson
one-off headlights, tails and grille
shaved hatch
JDM clear glass
High end audiophile system (for clarity not SPL's)
Full dynamat

...man that's like $20k right there.

honestly i'd prob trade it in on a works edition mini cooper clubman S.

but it is a great little reliable daily driver. so i'd consider a gt25 kit running 8lb. to go with the 6-piston brakes i already have coming. i'd convert the rears to disc, using my oem frotns and fabbing a bracket to them. then i'd add the tokico adjustable shock/strut setup and a 36" lcd tv from a flip down mount in the headliner and a grill that mounts to a hidden hitch in the rear for tailgating/camping/rally weekends.

cars that would end up in my stable.
an mini cooper S works edition (probably a clubman)
i'd convert my sti to a full blown rally car
a dodge sprinter van (to haul stuff on race weekends and tow)
exige 240
ktm x-bow
and a project car, either a miata to do a swap into, or an original mini (pickup perfered) to do a k20 swap into.

if i won crazy megabucks (200mil) then i'd look at toterhomes, and earthroamers too.

Through a air setup on mine and a crazy stereo.
