With the way the stock market is going today...you'd be better off buying gold. Or groceries. Or gasoline.

But if I just wanted to blow $100k on fun stuff... I'd dump a bunch of money into the Fit. Then I would get:
1. 1940's gibson LG
2. red label non-nippon gakki yamaha FG-180
3. gibson ES-335
4. vintage tophat amp
5. 1964 jb hutto montgomery airline
6. 1973 silverface fender twin reverb
7. harmony rocket
8. 1950's kay hollowbody
9. tascam 424
10. neve 5316
11. yamaha MS-10s
12. shure SM-57s and SM-58s
13. a bunch more
Judging from the Airline, Twin Reverb, Harmony Rocket and Kay Hollowbody, I'd say you're a fellow White Stripes fan!

i would pay my car off. than i would k swap and turbo the fitand a little bit more things to it. than i would buy another fit for my wife and than buy a yamaha r-1. i'm only twenty so not worried too much about a house now. so that would cover my debt and my need for speed and it would my wifey. not bad.

Put it towards my mortgage. The way the stock market is tanking, paying off my 6.5% home loan would be a great investment.

i would take about 10,000 dollars in 5 dollar bills and throw it off a highway overpass just to watch what people would do when it was raining money. or maybe just start randomly throwing it out the windows as im driving down the freeway.
