one that makes money?
Antique car restoration shop...
And flying club!
And flying club!
Training unemployed and underemployed folks from disadvantaged circumstances to work in domestically IT shops. Make the case that by using my services instead of outsourcing to India and elsewhere, you not only get the same or better service, but you make your marketplace stronger. Making more potential consumers of your product or service.
It seems we forgot what Henry Ford figured out. If you want to sell your product, you need a workforce that can afford to buy your product.

Private school.

I like your style.
Touchless car wash for me.

If I spoke Spanish I'd start a landscaping business. Apparently NOBODY in my town can be bothered to mow their own grass but me. I'm pretty good at it.
I'd love to run my own diner in a small, picturesque town. Open for just breakfast and lunch...closed by 5pm. Profitable of course.
I always wanted to run a bait shop. I enjoy fishing and have always thought that would be fun since I was a little kid. I work for PayPal and see quite a few successful online businesses popping up all the time too but I just don't think an online tackle shop would be the same for me.
Brothel in China or India.

Oil Analysis lab.. something that only the great oil companies have access here, and charge a fortune for UOA/VOA, and only in packs of ten samples

Great Idea. It's also nice to see someone who knows who Henry Ford was. Not knocking our educational system, but my 20 year old niece seems to think the world was created the day she was born.
I would like to own a restoration shop as some have mentioned. But I'm afraid I would be like old Luke in the Used Cars movie. As he stood up and peered at the '57 Chevy he was wrenching on, he muttered "Eighteen months is long enough. Time to put this baby on the line."

Over the past few years when I get my 10-Best issue from Car and Driver, I always check to see what vehicles on the list can be purchased locally in my town. Usually, it's about 4.
No Volkswagen, no Mazda, no BMW or Audi, I could go on. The automotive marketplace is changing. It's no longer the Big-3 along with three top Japanese brands. And yet, in the 20+ years I've lived here, the dealerships have not changed other than the addition of Hyundai and of course the subtraction of Pontiac and Oldsmobile.
I'd start a VW/Audi or Mazda/BMW dealership, and I don't care if I don't have pickups to sell.

Touchless car wash is VERY high on my list. I was looking for locations about a year back but i was too scared to pull the trigger at the time. Looking back i don't know if that was smart or dumb as no one bought that location.
I love it because its next to nothing in overhead/employee cost. My retired mother could run it, gives her something to do with flexible hours as you don't need someone 24/7 on site.

Actually, Id buy rental properties cash only, in nicer locations (no section 8 or related garbage).
The hunt would be fun, and not relying on leverage, there is far less stress.

Smarter than you think. My local Breakfast and Lunch Only joint is run by Maltese immigrants who gross about 35k a week AFTER EXPENSES! They are only open from 6 am to 3 pm.
Other than the headaches from employee issues they are rolling!

Set up classic car selling/restoration business in about a 1-2 acre building with a nice parking lot to have car shows/parts swaps. I have a location already picked out! Now I just need the financing and the employees!

??? The ones I've seen look like a big capital investment - land, pavement, concrete, machinery, that stuff is not cheap. Always one or two employees - I bet that hot air car dryer and water pumps suck the amps.
edit: sorry, didn't see touchless, still, you need land, pavement, concrete, and machinery - none of that is cheap.
