I'm lazy. i would put my MSM in a box and ship it to FlyinMiata for one of their overpriced LS packages. However if I won in the +10's of millions, I would just keep the MSM as it is and be like every other schmuck who wins the lottery and buy a supercar.

Million dollars? I'd buy a ferrari, lambo, and lotus, and ariel atom.. stick MX5 badges on all of them, then buy a set of works and teins for the miata so I could be cool on CR.

Mission accomplished, real life badassery coupled with E-badassery.

1 million bucks isn't a lot, and much more important things to buy...most would go towards a house.

I'd just buy an LS7 NB from FM and call it a day, then drop it off at 949 for ballet shoes.

Was trying to keep it car related.. If I were to be buying stuff that mattered I'd invest in a new combine, a new head for the old one, a corn drying system, corn storage for 2,000 ton of corn, a newer dump truck, I'd pay off all debts in the business and then buy my mother's house and let her keep living in it until she wanted to retire to Florida.

That's right around a million depending on the combine.

LS swapped NB and all the brakes and suspension it can take from 949 and Trackspeed, respray it to showroom new, and house w/ baller kitchen with my garage for the toys. Probably throw in a few bikes, dedicated rock crawler, tow rig, new STI for the wife (after riding with my dad she's fallen in love with it) and a bike for her. Rest go towards savings for high interest and finish school without stress.

I'd keep my current car and finish my new turbo project. I'd need a MSM 6 speed, V8R 8.8 kit, MS3/x, line lock, Lenso 13" wheels, and probably a ton more other goodies. Tune for 500whp or whatever lets me trap mid 130's

Buy second miata, probably NB2, and install Mercedes OM606 turbo diesel engine w/ 5 speed. Keep motor bone stock w/ Borg Warner S300sx, 4" exhaust and tune for 40psi. Easy power, gobs of torque, million mile reliability and upwards of 50-55mpg. Go out on the highway and LOL as I pass all the LSX miatas.

Invest the rest, still join military.

LS7 for me as well. Then buy some property 20 - 40 acres would be great, build a nice shed that's heated with a lift and other goodies, good used diesel truck, some cows, 80s 911 Turbo, trailer, and finally bank the rest.
