    As fun as that would be, I'm going full incognito mode after we win. Outside of this group of course. I don't even want my family to know. As far as they're concerned, daddy just got a baller new job is all, and an RS6 just came as part of the hiring package that I so shrewdly negotiated. TOTAL coincidence a bunch of ski friends happened to show up in Germany at the same time. They don't have to know any of that, though. "Hey kids. Daddy's going on a quick business trip to Frankfurt. Got some contracts to negotiate. See you all in a couple weeks."

    Now this is goals.

    And here we have RS6 Avant build 024/100 where the owner requested a badge delete with the exception of a chrome "You Steve?" on the decklid.
    I still call it The Jake.

    HA! I love that somebody's handle was "RS6 buyers group." Just the good luck charm we needed.

    For peak TGR mega jillions cred, what about a group buy on a bullfighting arena?

    So the plan is all fly to Germany to pick up the RS6`s, then an obnoxious caravan drive into the Alps, followed by apres Hookers and Blow? Am I getting this right?

    I really like the way Duffman has this planned out.
    Never in U.S. history has the public chosen leadership this malevolent. The moral clarity of their decision is crystalline, particularly knowing how Trump will regard his slim margin as a “mandate” to do his worst. We’ve learned something about America that we didn’t know, or perhaps didn’t believe, and it’ll forever color our individual judgments of who and what we are.

    Yes - but only if midgets vs lions fight in it.

    Roughly 75 entrants? That’s $9.66 million each. Or, $866,666 each per year for 20 years with the annuity. I’m gonna go ahead and assume that I’m one of only a couple weirdos that would opt for the annuity.
    Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.

    Yup, me too, but I think it is paid out over 30 years

    Screw the annuity. Always worse.in the long run. Unless you have a raging Hookers and Blow problem ........



    Ok, how does the annuity work again.

    Weirdo here too. I would absolutely go for the annuity given the choice. A steady income of nearly a mil a year (or even half that) would be incredible. That way, when I blow my wad on my car quiver and go broke, I can get a second chance at stupidity when that next paycheck rolls around. Or just treat it like it's a REALLY good paycheck and actually be smart with the bucks. Again, that's what I'd tell the wife, family and friends. I'd totally do fake business, lease an office to commute to, the works. Haha.

    Open a "fakery?" I'd go for that size annuity as well. Don't trust myself!

    If i recall, rules were posted early on in the thread, and i don't think they have changed.

    From mazderati post 11 in the thread...

    TGR Rules of the Pool

    Lump sum option with equal split

    Computer-generated ticket numbers

    PayPal $2.00 (only) for one ticket (only) by 6:00 PM ET Friday

    I'll buy and email pictures of the tickets to the email address linked to your Paypal account by 10:00 PM ET Friday so everyone can play along

    Include your TGR handle in the payment notes so there is something to cross-reference if needed




    Don't fire up the confuser with talk of annuities and other bullshit.
    sigless.

    Right? Rules are rules.

    Yeah. Exactly. NOT suggesting rideski does anything differently than he is. That would be a complete PITA to deal with annuitized payouts and all that anyway. But yeah, if it was me, and only me (not a hundred internet randos), I'd absolutely go the annuity route. Rulez is rulez tho. And NOBODY'S gonna be complaining about an instant multimillion dollar payout.

    Exactly. We can discuss all of our brilliant investment strategies and what to do with the lump sum payment in Stuttgart while waiting for them to finish washing the RS6's. I presume for a few Euros here and there some good old fashion Bavarian beer wenches with giant Steins of pilsner could be procured to help lubricate this discussion.

    I dunno, but I DO know that Bunion has teh contractor access we need to sneak us in there for the impending (and incredibly) hostile takeover. Maybe he can challenge the current owners to a Chinese Downhill for the rights to the place. It's gonna get wild!
