I would restart production of the 1990 Honda Civic hatchback (4th gen) and sell them both as complete cars and rolling chassis to let people engine swap them. Good, cheap transportation for everyone.

Open source. You would download a car.

Lol as long as you bring its safety to modern standards

Afaic, 20+ year old cars are death traps

Easy. NHRA roll cage standard in each one.

You couldn't buy back the lives lost, I know that much.

Both the US and Iranian governments agree that they weren't worth much to begin with.

Apparently I'm not the only one who misread the title asking what would I buy with that money.

New fuel injectors, rear axle and leaf springs for my truck and I'd pay off my house. Not sure what I'd do with the remaining 11.3 billions though. Maybe buy something nice for myself. New flashlight perhaps.

I’m pretty sure 11b could buy trumps assassination. Probably all of them.

I'd spend it all on butter!

I haven't thought beyond that point, but it wouldn't be spent worse than it is now.

Honestly, I wonder what it’d be like to re-enact some of the SAW movies with assorted billionaires.

I could buy everything I've ever wanted a hundred times over for 1% of that...

But I'm not so selfish to demand that for myself. I understand it's imperative that those filthy children get bombed. My dreams can wait.

All the debts I could buy of people struggling to pay it, keeping enough for living the rest of my life (less than 1% I think)
