This is for the exact Kart I put on page 1. It will be more than 5k. But you can find plenty of shift karts for under 5k.

lol if I had 5k to burn I would put it towards paying off my car. no karts for me in the near future. I just enjoy the sport. Some of the frankensteins out there are death traps. For example these people put an R1 engine on a kart.

never heard of it

johnston county speedway was cool. lots of strong competition. then there was one near the mudcats stadium called five county. it was big with these sweeping corners so it was pretty fast. raced a lot at one off hwy 24 in richlands. that one was fun when they had the track right, but sometimes it would start coming up in chunks in the groove and you'd hit a hole and just jump right out of the groove.

i'm not sure which of these are still running.

man this is a tough question. I already have a jetski...not really into motorcycles that much although one would be fun.

I'd go somewhere on vacation...no idea where though, havent been on a real one in a long time.


If i didnt go on vacation i'd probably get a handgun, take the concealed carry class and then buy a nice ATV perhaps.

I wouldn't mind going to germany or the netherlands for a week or so, stay for a concert or two. Ibiza spain would cost way more than 5k though. If I stayed at home I'd probably buy a shit load of electronics and maybe a 40 cc scooter. Meh

5K?

i'd pay off bills, but you say i can't do anything responsible



so I'd probably buy some new clothes, buy the 2 pistols I wanted, and get another flat screen for my room... after that, i'd probably stock up the liquor cabinet with nice stuff (both liquor and wine) and then I might get something for my truck

i'd either go back to italy and see what i missed the first time, with a definite trip back to rome and orvieto.

or i would focus on upgrading our 2.5 bathrooms:
2 new sinks/vanities in the master and guest, a pedastal sink in the half bath.
new mirrors in all.
shower stall in the master giving us the opportunity to install more cabinet/closet space.
new tub/shower combo in the guest bathroom.

i know that will cost more than 5 k though, but it would be a nice start towards it.

if you have 5k to burn and you are not going to put it in a roth


I would do the following:

1 buy a nice suit for ~700.00 and look damn smooth.

2 buy a round trip plane ticket to majorca for 3 days in july for 2k

3. rent a nice hotel room for the 3 days for 1300

4. find a bar and open up shop and spend the other 1k.

Time of your life: 5k

1) I'd get some more guns. Handguns, shotguns, a rife or two.
2) Out of state licenses for a grand slam (for my Dad and I)
3) Jet ski

Actually 1 & 2 are tied... I'd have to 'eenie minnie minee mo' it!
