What would you do?
   

I'm asking this because this senario applies to me.

If you had the money, what would you put it into? Your Off Roading Ford Bronco or your 900 Mhz procsessing computer?

Both are in good working condition.

Or would you spend it on something else like sporting equipment?

What would you do?

I would buy a lifetime supply of lime green jello!

P.S. If you aren't from Utah, you won't get this joke.

I would buy all the video games on Earth, even if I might not have time to play them all...

i'd go for the car. there's gonna be better computer stuff on the market in a matter of days (if not minutes ) whereas it'll at least be a year before a car is obsolete (assuming you're getting a new car)

I spend at least 14 hours a day in front of a computer, but usually only 30 minutes per day in a car. Besides, there aren't many interesting games I can play with my car. And driving over to somebody takes me longer than to write the same somebody a mail, so... still the computer for me.

Computer,

But what *reasonable* computer costs what a car does? So I would take the rest and invest so I can up grade my killer machine when it needs it

Precisely. You can get a killer system for the price of a USED car.

I'd upgrade my computer. A car is a car--a computer can be a whole world!

I have to play the actuary here. Look at the group you are sampling from! I bet the answer would be a lot different at www.AutoWorld.com

Gee, I though I made that site name up. Lo and behold it actually exists

Do em both. Although, if it's a real Ford Bronco (love that Bronco!), keep it up more. Some puters it just doesn't pay to upgrade, and if that's the case, just wait until you can buy a new one (I did.) But a Ford Bronco is irreplaceable.

COMPUTER! Without a doubt. If you have money left over and it's not enough for your off-road creation. Save it and in short order you'll be able to upgrade it into your dream machine.

Upgrading a computer can be fairly cheap, but customizing a car/truck can run into big bucks.

Biased....who's biased? Wah! My computer can't play Morrowind...<sniff>. Well......maybe that did have something to do with my response.
