No one said the million bucks had to be spent entirely on individual cars — for all we care, you guys could blow the whole thing on an armor-plated Chevy Chevette that fires doughnuts out of a Paladin 155-mm mobile Howitzer cannon. Some of the best lists are conceptual, created by "big idea" people for whom cars are just one element in a broader context. This idea, while cool even as a concept, could probably make it as a thriving business. Seriously, TJ, if you build this thing, we'll show up waving a few Benjis in your honor.
Ok, here we go:
$500,000 Land, cleared and paved into a racetrack, with a 360-degree observation deck (may need to take advantage of the favorable Canadian exchange rate to afford suitable acreage up north).
+ $120,000 Six Mini Cooper S's, each a different color
+ $100,000 100K s worth of remote-control rigging (should be enough for six Minis and one tank of gas each)._________
$720,000 for the world s largest RC-car track EVER (including the future, because, well, they ll realize how pointless it is after this seeing this one)
+ $280,000 Obsidian Black Aston Martin V12 Vanquish S, with optional extras (to restore the testosterone after racing life-size Mini Cooper RCs all day. Oh yeah, and to keep me entertained after the oxymoronic value of World s Largest RC Cars and Mini Cooper has worn off and the toys are put back in the garage estimated time: 10 minutes.)
= $1 million
