What ridiculous thing do you want to buy?

Since we're talking bikes, I want a tailor-made, custom painted high-end steel hardtail from one of the boutique US builders. A Mountain Goat would do.

I also want my private pilot's license. Hopefully in the next few years.

Then, for the ridiculous part, I'd get me a WW1-replica biplane.

Saiga 12....

and, unrelated 'less I got real mad at it for some reason, one of those air swimmers heliumfilled RC sharks. hard to get any ridiculouser, really.

Yeah!

I think it would be neat to say at a party: "Why yes, I do happen to own a Sopwith Camel."

'80s BMX bike

I personally don't think this is unreasonable...

This sounds kind of tame, compared to everyone else's "dream" but I currently can't afford and have no room for a king-sized Tempur pedic bed and a large sceen tv. Of course, both would be in the same room.

+1 on the undergarage. As for the Lego computer case, I'm stealing that idea.

As for my non-car related crazy desires, I have many. For some reason I want to buy a bunch of Harris Tweed herringbone fabric to, ya know, upholster stuff. I also want some Atlatl darts, and some wood working tools. Please Santa, I've been real good!

An iPhone and a Macbook Pro 17"

I am turning into a Mac person!!!

I've been lusting after one of those too. Lots of magazine capacity.

Taurus Judge

IMHO, those things suck to shoot.

It's exciting, isn't it?

Also, FWIW, those Nike's I posted routinely sell for ~$1300.

My inner redneck wants a Ford 8N tractor. And I don't even own land.

What I really want is a house.

I love 'em. Tons of fun. Like a Porsche or a boat, I wouldn't buy one, but it's good to have a friend with one.

Agreed. I live in downtown St. Louis and I want a vintage Ford tractor.

The grip just doesn't fit in my hand I guess and it doesn't feel right to me.

It has an 8 foot printing area. 8 feet.

yeah, Id put a .50 cal hand cannon on the list of ridiculous crap I want.

...also, a Homebrewed CNC router/Mill...

I would love to have a cnc plunge router that had a 4' x 4' stage.

35 to 40ft liveaboard cruising yacht

and i live in Ohio

Ridiculous? Well, since my Tippmann 98 cracked at the rear receiver, I've had this stupid idea of finding someone to stuff the guts of a Phenom into it just for the giggles.

Also, would love to get my firearms license and get a PTRS or PTRD...keep it in 14.5x114mm, and get reloading dies and find someone to make brass and bullets for it. Then....proceed to make my american friends jealous of my unrestricted, "destructive device"

Seriously, a PTRS/PTRD are classified as unrestricted firearms up here :D

We have an 8 foot flatbed printer and a 5x10 CNC router at work. Fun Stuff.

Most rediculous thing i want right now is a full custom Lynskey titanium road bike. Not terribly ridiculous as I do ride a lot, but somehow 8-10K for a bicycle still seems loony.

OTOH, there's an old, one room church that's been for sale for YEARS a couple miles from my place - they want to sell and move the building off the land. It would make a great studio in my backyard.

ya know, if I painted, or wrote, or any kind of crap that NEEDED a studio...

No immediate need for a rapid prototype machine at home, but I'm sure I could find a use. Holiday decorations for the kids to paint, custom intake parts, missing game pieces, etc...
