What would be yours? Limits: - $10k max spending limit - Gift CANNOT be a vehicle itself I’ve wanted to do the Lamborghini winter driving school… but I don’t think they offer it in the US anymore ☹ It was $5k and included 2 full days of driving Gallardo’s on a snow track, hotel accommodations, meals, etc. all in Vermont if I remember correctly. ---

Either forced induction kit or a driving school My gift from the fiancee for x-mas this year is doing the BMW factory tour. The tour ends with 2 hours on the track with a high performance driving instructor in the passenger seat 😃 ---

Motorcycle tour. Maybe this one: [http://www.edelweissbike.com/en/allTours/true/cont/afr/scouting-botswana-namibia.html](http://www.edelweissbike.com/en/allTours/true/cont/afr/scouting-botswana-namibia.html) 21 day motorycle tour of South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, and Zambia, not entirely planned or on pavement. I’ll come up with the extra $890 on my own to get an R1200GS instead of an F650. Or maybe a beach’s tour of Europe. Staying on pavement in 1st world countries carving up the alps could be cool too. Two weeks carving up Switzerland, Italy, Austria, and Germany could be fun. [http://www.beachs-mca.com/alpine\_adventure.html](http://www.beachs-mca.com/alpine_adventure.html) ---

The more I think about this, the more I think that 10k is a SHITLOAD of money to spend on one automotive gift that is not an actual car. Body restoration on the hypothetical 240Z (or w/e project) that I really would love to own would be tits. ---

I’d take a summer of track days package for 10k. Start out local with Calabogie, Nelson Ledges, Mosport, Mid-Ohio and Watkins Glen. Wrap up with some road trips to Road Atlanta and Grattan. Obviously tires/brakes/gas/lodging would come out of the 10k. Pretty sure I’d walk away from that with a way better memories than driving a lambo in the snow. ---

I think I would get a dope tig welder and a built transbrake powerglide/stall so that I could swap trannies for money races haha ---

> [@cougarspeed](#): > > 10k will hardly get you a longblock when/if you ever build something serious bsns. But when you have a chick car 10k buys a LOT of “mods” for it. Things like seat covers and a little dash holder for flowers come pretty cheap. 🙂 ---

> [@cougarspeed](#): > > 10k will hardly get you a longblock when/if you ever build something serious bsns. Slightly OT, but: I was just reading that actual NOS center caps for a '69 Boss 429 Mustang run about $2K. Not the wheels, just the caps. Single most expensive vintage 'Stang to restore. ---
