so have you ever felt like the luckest man alive? or a weekend of epic win

[badmoon]

so last sat i went to the poler bear in Baldwin. aces high fielded 3 teams. we all did good, but me rotter and Adam (dirt tan) took first in nov c. that in its own right is sweet. then Sunday i was talked into leaving and not playing the next 2 formats. so we went to treasure island for the corvette drawing. i won the scratchy for 100$ and the chance to pull a key out of a tumbler. i went their with 15$ and 8 cases of paint in the hole at 65$ a case. so sweet i had a chance at a car and money to gamble. turns out i was number 19 in line for the chance at the car. so i was gambling with my 100$ waiting for the drawing to begin. i came up another 135$ on slots. sweet good day right? well 5 O'Clock hit I'm in line for the car. the 18 people in front of me failed, I'm at the tumbler; their was a pile of 3 keys on the right and one lonely key on the left. so i grabbed the lonely one hoping it would be nice to me for picking it. went to the machine and blammo the key turned the lights turned on and omg. i won a 08 corvette z06. an awesome weekend full of win.

Wow, just wow.

Too bad Serenity Valley already came and went. You could have donated that car as a top prize instead of the Alpha Black... lol

Congratulations, Nate!! beret:)

[JJohnson]

Wow....that is awesome...that was one good day.

And *takes out calculator* I don't think your in the hole anymore.:D

[Badger]

Too bad it was Treasure Island Casino and not Grand Casino-Hinckley. You could have done a "and that's my Grand Casino story" commercial. beret:)

That would have been one heck of a Grand Casino story.

[88celfusion]

please give me a moment to stop salivating... lol... thats sweet...

[88celfusion]

any possibilities at seeing some burnout videos? lol...

[C4 Explosives]

Yeah, but can you get the mini-van to 140?




Sweet ride dude, awesome story, now get some spinnahz and get the ladies.

[Oldest Sage]

Congrats Nate!!! Any chance of an old man taking it for a spin?

[AKA]

I had heard rumors of this. So I see them to be true! You'll have to grow your hair out now so it will blow in the wind. Keep the shiny side up and Congratulations on your "you don't win unless you play," "VET"./AKA

[Jinxed Ninja]

Whoa! Awesome! Congratulations!!

It's pretty... hot car... drool:) Sorry, someone had to do it.

[Rogue]

NIIIIIICCCCEE!

Sha! Lucky!

[badmoon]

the van only got to 100MPH then it felt like it would blow apart so i slowed down and it was allot more than 5 sec to 100. the ride might be possible sage. and the grand story would have been sweet. and i did some math on it and it would cost me to keep it approximately $16,490 vs selling it and walking away with around $35000 after all the taxes. either way i thing I'm going to buy a new gun. thinking the venom series ego then maby a sweet anno of his tongue down the barrel.

[badmoon]

a sweet burn out vid is posible if i can get my hands on a video cam. also side not if you know any women willing to pose on a $60,000 car please tell them to get in contact with me for a photo shoot while i have the car. i would be a very happy man. ps ill hook people up with copys if they send a chick my way.

[Bunker Busters]

you would think with a 60k car you could find your own chicks laughing:)
sorry but someone had to say it

Dude this thread would totally deliver if you posted a want ad on Craigslist for models to pose with the Vette and you post pics. Offer them a free day of paintball (ladies play free right now right?).

[badmoon]

ya i can see a funney thing happens when you drive past girls they all turn and look. it actually take remakeible little effort.:D

[Brutis]

And you're going to sell it Nate?
Why??????
'Cause you can't cover the taxes?
There's ways around that stuff.
Time for some advice from Brutis...
You will never, in the rest of your life, own a Corvette.
The cash you glean from it's sale will not last as long as you think it will.
Selling that car is something you will regret for the rest of your life.
Think about this.

[CrazyDave]

Swwwweeeeeett! dribble:) you better not sell it! If you bring it tomorrow, we can see how fast it goes down CR-E, I need to blow the injectors out in the mustang anyway ;)

[badmoon]

their is no way im driveing a car with4 inch ground clearence down the splat tag road. and brutis your right but as D said their isnt a damn thing about this car i can afford. for real lets put this in perspective. im a paintball ref working 3 maby 4 days a week, makeing 8$ an hour. i can put a very nice down payment down on a house. in a buyers market. and still have like 15 grand left after downpayment and taxes. i think me buying a house is a smarter idea. thou turning heads is a hell of alot of fun.

[Erndogg]

Just take lots of pictures of you with it, becuase lets face it...no one is going to believe you :P

[Thalion]

Second job M-F would cover that extra money.

Don't sell it, you're probably the only paintball ref in the nation with one.

[Bunker Busters]

I would have to agree with you on buying a house! They are a much better investment then a car. It does suck letting the cars go though, I'm in the proses of selling my WRX so I can be sitting better financially. Its not that you cant afford them, its that you cant afford much else when you have them.

I'd say sell it. That's a heap of $ you'll have for a while, and the Venom Ego would be sweet too:D
And a house is always a good thing to have too...
All in all, take some pics and video of it then let her go...and you also know your probably screwed on luck for the rest of your life right?:)

[spock]

look for another gig as well as refing. the cash from selling the car might get you into a house but the $8 an hour wont let you keep the house.

get a loan keep the car..any bank will loan you 17,000 for a 60,000 car
in case you cant make the payments they get it.. just make the payments..

lolz wow your right. i almost willing to bet the car on that one. lol jk never would bet it. also that is one hell of a funney point. lolz i should get a job delivering pizzas. laughing:)

[Bizzare87]

I say you are a son of a b***h. This thing is such a sweet ride guys and gals nate was dumb...i mean nice enough to let rotter take it for a spin.O ya congrats dudeson lucky mofo.Time to call tokyo!!! gc:) FULL OF WIN!!!!
O ya he forgot to mention the polar bear was his first speedball tournament ever.Not too many people can say they won there first tourney.

[badmoon]

i think i have to sell it the more i have it the more it becomes apperant in my own eyes that im not that guy.300a:) i dont want a car like this. its fun its hot and every one stares. it also brings the haters out in force. but screw them anydamn way bunch of haters. more to the point i need money more than i need a hot car. as sweet as it would be to keep it. its not as much fun as ya think. going fast is fun thou.

[cbass]
