If you ever want ideas for restomods, for the sake of fantasy and just to see what's out there, both The Hot Rod Network and Speedhunters feature some absolutely great restomods from time to time. They both have tons of content for custom cars of all types though and if you're like me and you like to go to car shows to see what people have done to their cars, they're a great way to scratch that itch in between shows.

kleinbl00 and I have both shot the shit a little bit in the past about electric drive train conversions for cars too. That's something I would never rule out, especially as battery technology and the infrastructure for electric vehichles continues to develop. With the right money and the right people, you could easily get yourself something that's pretty mean.

I agree with your sentiment about using your money to support local businesses and artists though. That's something that the wife and I do already and it's something I'm a huge advocate about. I think if we ever hit it big, we would continue the same behavior but find ways to contribute more. Hell, I like rinx idea about finance courses. I might get with her and develop something for people who want to start their own businesses or something.
