$16k in 20s i had in a backpack when we bought my girl her 350z(had 16, 50 bills stacks).. That was one of the most shady feelings I've ever had, had a .38 in the center counsel just in case.
3200 when i bought my car. All fresh straight from the bank. Took it out of the envelop and counted it numerous times. Felt good, Not so much giving it to the guy though
what about just writing multiple checks to pay for new cars.. my family has never made a car payment.. most cash was probably 220k and some change after tearing down an old copper plant, scrap yards use to pay in cash. wasn't mine or anything, but was in the vehicle with me.. felt pretty ballerish
