hey fellows,
About 5 months ago my Brother bought me a Toyota Prado grande brand new. Last week i was Driving through a section of light up in QLD and i got t-boned by a bus. car went and hit a tree and was wrote of for 90k. as my bro bought it for me there was no loan on it so i have a spare 90k sitting in my pocket waiting to be used. I do not need another 4WD so he said he will now buy me an Audi A4. i accepted no q's asked and i do not have a clue what type but its arriving soon.
Do not ask for pics of crash because when i plug iPhone in PC it asks 7 million Q's irrelevant to what i want to do so to hell with that no photos
So ow any of you bloke have any human and realistic ideas on how to spend the
money

BTW charity out of question
I'd be lucky to get a 2 dollar scratchie of one of my brothers...
Know any of your good mates that may be struggling financially? Even 500 bucks to a mate in need and if he/she has any decency they will be eternally grateful and you will gain the status of 'top bloke'.
Failing that, i have 4 characters for you: W427
Failing that, a Mustang
Failing that, put it in a bank and let it gain interest $$
Failing that, update yourself with all the new-fangled technology
Failing that, I'll happily accept $1,000
Edit: if you buy either of those cars, you'll need to use the remaining money to buy fuel to run the said mentioned cars

Email pics to me and Ill upload them for you to here.. Failing that, Got pics of the cash?
EDIT: Im 99% sure you're full of shit..
Firstly, You say you have a MY10 Prado, Toyota don't use 'MY**' on their cars.
Secondly, you said a brand new car it was, the 2011 LC Prado doesnt come in a Grande, the new range doesn't come in grande (see Toyota Prado: Pricing)
Thirdly, the Kakadu (top model) has a RRP of $88,904, So an insurance company isnt going to give you $1,096 more than the purchase price for a used car.
just look at my sig!

Where can I buy a brother like yours?

Id like to know how you squeezed 90k out of a Toyota Prado.
Anyway, im calling bullshit.
Since the money was a gift to you from someone who clearly doesnt need it, id consider giving a fair whack of it away. Do you have any young kids/nieces/nephews/family friends etc.? Id think about putting some of it in a trust fund for their education since you seem to be going alright yourself.
The MY designation has become quite popular lately so people use it for everything.
As for it being worth $88,904 new, that is with no extras or accessories. Add a few of those and it would be worth over $90K. Ever heard of 'agreed value' insurance? Maybe there was a few other things done to the car so rather then market value the OP opted for an agreed value.
Selling FG G6E Turbo and buying a N/A Supra
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Your bro bought you a Toyota Prado which got totalled so now he is buying you an audi and you have insurance money left over that is MORE than the value of the totalled car when new?
Hmmmm...
Well, lets just assume this isn't bullshit for a moment.
I'll assuming that since your bro is so generous the Audi will be around the 90k mark aswell. Why not tell him to not get the Audi and pool all yor money together.
Then you have 180k to play with. Take out another 20K loan and get an Audi R8.
OR, with 180k in your pocket... you're nosing into Lambo territory.

You could buy another Toyota Prado and put a Pod Filter on it....be killing everything else on the road then.
