I think I would be in the emergency room because of a heart attack...but, after that I would buy a nice boat, a sweet super duty...a nice little 150k house not too big but not to small with a garage...buy a girlfriend (lol) ...modify the X of course...find a Ferrari F355 berlinetta and I still would have well over 500k left...



anyways this is just for fun what would you do/buy...

I would be afraid to spend it since the bank would eventually catch their mistake. I once had a similar thing happen. I had $4K in my account, and the teller made a mistake, and printed that I had $40K!:eek: The mistake was corrected the next day.:mad:

Yeah, but you could always use that $40k receipt to have a beautiful fem at the bar write her number on... 'cuz she'll look! :D

lol joe

:burnout: Head for Brazil.

Call the bank I have no intention on explaining to, or paying taxes to IRS!!!!! lol

Weird story about that- A friend of mine looked at his bank account and it was $20,000 over what he thought he had. So, he goes the next day tells the teller who originally did his transaction. She was very relieved, they had lost that money, couldn't find it, indicated that they may not ever have found it. They restored things back to normal, the next week he accidentally overdrew his bank account by around $1, got slapped with a $25 overdraft fee. :)

what you meen IF? my does haha just kidding

I'd withdraw all of it in cash, buy a sailboat, and disappear.

For me, let's say that it's not a mistake but instead someone decided to give me $1 million. Yeah right .... :rolleyes:

Anyway, I'd:
-Buy a decent size house (like 4 bedroom, 3 car garage) so I could get the hell out of my apartment.
-Pay off all the debts I currently have.
-Buy a 2006 Ford Focus for a daily driver.
-Heavily modify my Explorer. :D
-Give money to my dad and my grandparents.
-Buy my girlfriend the Jeep Wrangler she's always wanted. (But keep it in my name in case she decides to break up with me, then I'll sell it ;))
-Go on a nice vacation somewhere.
-And with the rest I would invest into something so that I can have an early retirement.

It's nice to dream, isn't it?

oh yes it is just a dream lol :) "keep the jeep in your name lol" nice move...^^

For me, let's say that it's not a mistake but instead someone decided to give me $1 million. Yeah right .... :rolleyes:


Well, in that case...I would buy drugs, alcohol, and women - the rest I would just waste.

Revamp my vehicle with the kings treatment - sandblast the underbody and coat it with POR15 and some bed-liner, complete tuneup, complete suspension overhaul, lighting upgrades, and then all the offroad stuff I wanna do next (locker, sliders, snorkel, 2'' more lift and some 35s) Then I'd put the rest in the bank and start earning interest. :D

Definitely contact the bank and give it back. :D Unless, of course, I won Powerball.

Bank Error Makes Brooklyn Man a Momentary Millionaire

Now He Is Charged With Grand Theft

By Ryan Thompson
Brooklyn Daily Eagle
MONTAGUE STREET — Perhaps he thought it was an early Christmas present when he found nearly $6 million in his bank account last December. There must be some mistake, the Brooklyn man told his bank — but no, the bank insisted that the money was his.

So he took it. Now he could go to prison for the rest of his life.

Benjamin Lovell is a 48-year-old salesman from Brownsville. Benjamin Lovell is also a finance director at Woodlawn Trustees, Inc., a Delaware property-management corporation. The two men are different people, but they share the same name; they also share the same bank.

Commerce Bank confused the two men and their bank accounts. With a couple mis-clicks of the computer, the $5.8 million that Lovell the finance director had deposited into an escrow account was misdirected into the bank account of Lovell the salesman, which previously had only $400 in it.

On Dec. 14, when Lovell the salesman tried to deposit an additional $400 into his account, he discovered the unexpected monies. Lovell tried to explain to the bank teller that he was not a millionaire and that the money was not his. The teller disagreed and insisted that his wealth was not a dream. So Lovell accepted this extravagant present and began to live the lifestyle of a wealthy man.

According to the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office, he spent $8,000 on jewelry for his mistress, $36,000 on dental implants, $5,000 on vitamins and colonic enemas, and gave $10,000 to family and friends. He also invested $500,000 into the stumbling stock market and lost it all.

But no need for Lovell to worry; it was all found money to him. That is, until Lovell the finance director realized his money was missing and notified the bank a month later. By then, Lovell the salesman had withdrawn nearly half of the $5.8 million sum.

Now he is charged with grand larceny and faces 25 years in prison. He was arraigned in Brooklyn Criminal Court Tuesday night and pled not guilty.

^^That blows^^

You'd think they'd at least cut him some slack for trying to give it back...or put it on the bank.

Ah those always made me laugh. What sucks is i have an idea for a tool but apparently patents are really expensive. Then i'd really wake up with $1,000,000 in my bank account.

you think if we signed a potition too our banks for all explorerforum.com members too heavily modify the X's/Ranger's/Mounty's you think they would give it too us lol :) just a thought that would be 70,000 plus who would say no? would make cool media headlines i can see it now ExplorerForum.com Demands Money 2 Modify...haha

I'd buy the Explorer concept vehicle and have a public burning - then after I'm released from jail... I do it over again.

Call me grapes, cause I'd be sour as hell about that. I would make everyone at that bank miserable until that removed that fee :D
