    Default Things you wish you could own

    There is 2 things that I currently want:

    A reflow oven (so wish I could afford this, as I'll need one when I do my latest project ):
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/UPDATED-T-96...item4cfb12e9cd

    And a 3D Printer (as I need to make cases for electronics and such like)

    What things are you currently wanting?

    I am with you on the 3D printer but I also want a '68 Fastback Hemi Cuda with the 426 (7.0L) engine.

    Alas both out of me reach now and likely the rest of my life too.

    Tesla Model S Signature Performance, 10,000 sqft garage with full machine shop and physical and electronics fabrication facilites, lithium battery manufacturing facility, private sci/tech thinktank, 1,000+ acres in the Mojave, private island in the south Pacific,...oh, wait, currently? As in...realistic short-term?...damn... ah well, I guess I'll just settle for a 2-car garage with workshop then. ...speaking of which, I need to start figuring out the paperwork and planning for that if I want to get it built this Spring...damn, I hate paperwork...

    A second 2Gb AMD HD 6950 (or 6970 or 7970 or 7950).
    All the Last Night on Earth expansions.
    An SSD, or a hybrid drive, or something like that . . .
    Cyborg Rat 7 mouse.
    Cyborg Freq 5 headset.

    Some decent stereo speakers and a sub for my TV.

    If we want to go nuts . . . and think really long term
    Razer stuff, like the star wars old republic keyboard, the hydra.
    A HTPC.
    Hal 9000 NAS.

    . . . there's a list of arcade machines, but I'm not the type to just keep that for myself, so I'd have to have a way to make money off them and let others use em.

    A plymouth prowler. It's my dream car. I try to keep my dreams reasonable, and I'm fairly practical too.

    And . . . a decent house on a nice bit of property.

    Other than that, small stuff.

    YES!

    me, personally, an audi r8 ppi razor gtr 10. for those who don't know what it is, here is a picture. if you have some spare time, and are a gear head, and don't know the performance specs, look em up. also, the best handling offered in any sports car available. lol


    realistically short term, a mini cooper S or mini cooper john cooper works edition.


    by the time i retire, i want a house on a bunch of property in the hills, small house, preferably that audi, and *preferably* a personal airport with a v tail bonanza that looks like this


    and possibly a helicopter. something small, for when the winter comes, and i can't fly the plane due to ice... a old wooden yacht, like early 1930's would be nice too, with a chris craft for day use towed behind.

    Short term - I'd like a proper house with a garage/workshop and some acreage around it - tired of my townhouse
    Long term: I'd like to keep that house, send kids to college, and one of these Aston Martin Carbon editions

    And a garage like this one:

    and maybe all the cars that this guy has too
