I’m very passionate about my vehicles as well so on nice days you’ll see me detailing them (for fun).

If you had $1,000,000, how would you spend it?
First, I would pay off all my wife’s and my outstanding bills. Id help out our family. I’m sure there would be some indulging on a few random items I felt I really wanted. I think a majority of it would go into a safe place for our future.
