don't forget to put oil in it (and before any comments this is a very common mistake when using a new engine/gearbox even by professionals)
You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start
Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

You don't need oil to start an engine, you need it only when you wish to start it again.

You should put this stuff on your YouTube channel, if you have one. I'm sure there are a lot of DIY enthusiasts out there that would find this interesting. Just a thought.

I have a youtube channel, but there won't be anything to show until the day we try to start it. It amazes me that people assume I haven't thought of youtube...

Well, I really don't know you John, and thus have no way of knowing whether or not you entertained the notion of going public with your hobby craft.

Dude - I go public with my farts - not necessariy on youtube, but...

Thanks for the heads-up.
I'll begin saying good-bye to my loved ones.

Would you stop working?
Would you find a new career?
Would you start your own business?
I'm not sure. Work isn't all fun and games, but neither is sitting at home and partying all day...
At least work makes you feel kind of useful.
I'd probably work less though.
And travel more.
I was wondering what the average CP'er would do. I know there's some people here who really love to code
It's an OO world.

Infinite money?
Buy everything that is even remotely for sale. Stuff, real estate, corporations, entire countries, even people.
Then be a Benevolent* Dictator for Life over everything I own, which would be almost everything on Earth and some stuff out in space too.
* opinions may vary.
And maybe write some code in my spare time.

Mwahahahaha!  
|
|
|
|
|
- I would work LESS
- Do something on your own - related to CODE
- MORE fun
|
|
|
|

so you'd spend your time in self contradiction?

Only with money, the life is going to be boring....

Well just how much infinite money are we talking here? 
|
|
|
|
|
Probably Aleph one[^], seeing as money is rational number...
|
|

|

Just a little bit infinite

I wouldn't stop writing code. I may quit my job.
Sander Rossel wrote: Would you find a new career?
Absolutely not. All I ever want to do in life is build software.
Sander Rossel wrote: Would you start your own business?
Unlikely. I would probably devote my time to teaching pro bono and open sourcing my projects in the hope that others might use and improve upon the source code.

I don't even need infinite, just a few $M. Work less, or not at all, travel more and code for fun or charity. But then I'm getting close to retirement anyway .
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

I'm already retired and if I had unlimited monies I would travel a lot more but will never stop coding, it gets in your blood.
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?
Trying to understand the behavior of some people is like trying to smell the color 9.

I would hire all the space agencies and space companies in the world to build a full size USS Enterprise out in orbit and go live there. Never mind the lack of gravity generators, impulse power and warp cores, I'd also hire a team of researches to figure out all that stuff.
Then again, maybe I would just hire the biggest army in the world and take total control of the planet and nuke the f***rs that disagree with my policies. Mwahaha.
So, take your pick - you want me off this ruddy rock, or you want me to become a megalomaniac. I can live with either answer.

Yes, but in one of cases the your life might be considerably shorter, would you live with that too?

I'd pass it along to everyone else.

Most creative (!) and beautiful answer so far!
