Woman Wins $90 Million Dollar Lottery, Buys Really Boring Car
Woman Wins $90 Million Dollar Lottery, Buys Really Boring Car-April 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:44

As car enthusiasts, we all have what I call "the list." The list of dream cars we would buy if we got some massive windfall of money. I know the first two cars on my list are an E63 wagon and probably a. A Washington state woman who won a $90 million dollar jackpot had no such list, and bought a Subaru.

According to , Lisa Quam and her husband stopped by a convenience store on Thanksgiving day to pick up a few things, including two Powerball lottery tickets. She had never played the lottery before. They put the tickets on their refrigerator and checked the numbers on Sunday. They were not expecting to be instant millionaires.

SEATTLE (Reuters) - A Washington state woman on Thursday claimed a $90 million Powerball lottery…

This morning Lisa said good by to her coworkers at Boeing-

"Sent out an email to my co-workers and friends at work this morning and told them what a pleasure it was to work with them and to check the news today, and they'll come to an understanding of why I am writing this note,"

Her first purchase? A brand new Subaru Forester. That is how strong the cult of Subaru is in the Pacific Northwest. Despite this modest choice I can't really fault Mrs. Quam for making the sensible choice since statistics have shown a large number of lottery winners are broke within a few years. But who knows... maybe Lisa will upgrade the Subie in a few years to a Macan Turbo S or something.

I Ordered A Carbon-Fiber Roof For My Porsche 996 Turbo And I Might Throw Up A Little
I bought maybe the cheapest Porsche 996 Turbo—that’s right, —on the market a year ago, and I’ve mostly been happily stacking miles on the odometer since then. I have been working on making the car my own with a period-correct set of wheels, some extra carbon trim, and a...

It’s one thing for you to be forklift certified, but it’s quite another thing for your forklift to be certified badass. Most of the forklifts I’ve used at jobs have been unreliable, smelly monstrosities that have been repaired by . This restomod Hyster is definitely not like that. What’s...
