The “Water Cooler” is a feature on Claycord.com where we ask you a question or provide a topic, and you talk about it.
The “Water Cooler” will be up Monday-Friday in the noon hour.
QUESTION: If you had a day to do anything, and money was no object, what would you do?
Talk about it.

Go on a no-holds barred shopping spree for friends and family for things they want or need to make their lives a bit easier, more fun, or as a BIG reward for doing so well.

Family and “Q”…..
My prep would start 3 days before the Day to Do Anything !
🙂
I would spend it lapping Monza (the Temple of Speed!) in a Ferrari.
Nice, though perfect might be the Nurburgring in a tuned Maybach. You say potato, I say pota-to. 🤷🏼♂️ 🇩🇪 🏎️ 🇮🇹.
For those who might not know of Nurburgring,

Great video! I’d put the ‘Ring (“the green hell”) as my third choice after Monza and Spa, but any (all!) of the 3 would be great. I spent part of an afternoon in June 2023 wandering around Monza, on a weekday with nothing on track, but it was worth the small detour as we drove from Lake Garda to Lake Orta. I had planned to stop at Imola on our way to San Marino, but it was flooded and the F1 race cancelled not too long before we were there. I had also planned an afternoon in Maranello, but we cancelled our stay in Bologna due to the recent flooding there. I walked part of the track in Monaco in 2022 10 days after the F1 race; they were still in the middle of taking down the grandstands and outer work on the course.
Man that was cool. They’ve driven that track before. Caught and passed some quick cars, but no Maybachs. 😁 And the sound, crank it up!
Pretty much what Clayden said but I’d go with Michael Schumacher’s old F2003 V-12 on a restored old Nurburgring with no one else on the track. Second choice, a ride up to the Space Station with the newest SpaceX Super Heavy booster behind me.
Probably not much different than what I do now. Meet someone for lunch or even go to lunch by myself. Sometimes I like to drive over to Benicia and have lunch with a view of the water. If money was no object I might invited one or 2 girlfriends and chose a more expensive restaurant. Or perhaps dinner at a really good an expensive restaurant, probably one in Napa. Might want to do some shopping first, buy things for my daugther and grandchildren, perhaps some jewelery for myself.
Get lunch somewhere nice. Im a simple person.
Have a coffee from a local coffee shop in the morning.
One day, and money is no object, I would spend the day shopping for a car that I’ve wanted ever since I was a teenager. A 1940 Ford coupe. If I can’t find one, my second choice would be a 1969 Mustang Mach I.
DAWG: 2 GREAT choies!!
Hope this photo of my “baby” will link up. My everyday driver for the last 13 years!!

DAWG ~ I too like your idea and agree with REDRAZOR.
I am on the same page kind of, …. waiting for a hybrid truck that might be out next year.
I’d settle for a plain old 69 Fastback, they were all cool but I just don’t care for decals & bling.
Give me a couple simple badges, a metal flake paint job, big screaming V-8 and four gears to power shift thru…… that’ll do.
Dawg, there are two cars I’ve wanted since I was a teenager: a Lotus 7 and a Ferrari 250 GTO (the most beautiful car ever made IMHO). I don’t fit in a Lotus 7 and I suspect the approximately $60-70 million for the GTO would exceed the “money no object” part.
I drove a 40 Ford to high school! I wish I still had it! Love the 69 Mach I also.
Spend the day with Great Grandkids and take wife out to dinner.
Go to my favorite pub on a Tuesday. Offset the cost of return of two dollar Tuesday, getting a sploosh before leaving and a DDR
Probably wind up spending the day trying to figure out the anything that is worth doing. 😄
Easy. A day at a 1000 yard range. Free ammo, someone to score targets and my rifle is immaculately cleaned and returned to me.
ATTICUS THRAXX ~ My Hubby’s Dream Day too!
I’d start the day at a good diner with a classic diner breakfast lotsa coffee- then 9 am tee time at Pebble Beach with brace of fine cigars- then quick flight up to Truckee for an e-bike loop on the rim trail to flume trail. Enduros out into the minden desert for night shooting bonfire and grilled tritip. Camp over night under the stars.
I will rent a Private Jet and take my relatives flying around the SF bay.
I’d dress warmly and take a mug of hot coffee out to the porch to watch the sun come up. Then check the backyard for early tree buds. The building crew would arrive next, to create a, foot-deep fish pond with an excellent filtering system. The builders would be followed by the pond folks, who would add water plants and cover for the fish and turtle. I’d stock the pond with mosquito fish and maybe some Japanese rice fish, also a pond turtle that coexists well with fish (this is a fantasy, right?). The day would end with me sitting on a comfy camp chair drinking hot chocolate, enjoying the pond and the sunset.
