Nothing super expensive, but:

My inner child/Simpsons-fan/LEGO-fan kinda wants this, but at the same time I can't justify paying 200 bucks for something that just will collect dust over time.


And of course some expensive sports-car, a boat, a luxury home and all that stuff.
 
I tell you what though guys, I've never even been in a luxury car or supercar. I'm talking the high end marques like Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, Bentley, Rolls Royce etc. Even high end Mercedes and BMW's, Range Rover's or Lexus's.

I've never had good friends or family wealthy enough to afford these kind of cars.
 
Wait, what could you do with Stealth camo that would be legal?

Stuff.

Looking over peoples' shoulders at an ATM, swiping their wallets and then confirming their PIN codes work. I'm not a fiend, I'd take their wallets to the police station afterwards like a good citizen, invisible of course. Anonymity is the purest form of charity
 
I used to dream about 18" Alienware monsters in high school.

Then I actually tried using a 17" laptop. Never again.

Maybe one of those 13" ones with a docking station for a discreet GPU might turn out ok in a year or two when they perfect the technology.


I currently have 15.6" one. Next one is going to be 17". I do use an external 19" monitor when I need to for work.

I 've just learned to turn down setting just a bit. 16XAA vs 8, 4k vs 1080. I can't tell the difference anyway with a small monitor.
 
My current (and preferred) setup is Surface Pro 2 with high end rig at home for gaming. Steam in-home streaming for gaming in other rooms. To make a gaming laptop something to recommend you'd have to do an insane amount of LANing / relocating or travel constantly, but then ideally you'd use it as a "semi-portable desktop" and have another, light weight laptop for actual laptoppy stuff and portability. The weight and battery life on some of those things is alarming.
 
Yeah. I mostly would use it as a portable deskop. Something I can plug in at a library, not as a true laptop. I have an ultrabook from 2012, so it got 4ish hours of battery life. So not too bad.
 
I forgot the Space Needle. Yes.

I would like to convert the Space Needle into my own home. Maybe I could park my Saturn V rocket next to it. I haven't worked out the math but I'm sure Seattle is close enough to the equator to allow the Saturn V to launch me to the moon.
 
You could also bring in the Mazga 6 as a blessing in disguise. Not AWD, or RWD, but it's quite good, Mazda has always had good trannys from the influence of the miata.

I have a Mazda 3 presently and love it. Definitely eyeing a 6 or the 3 saloon should my AWD dreams fall through. Lovely cars.
 
An MD/DO. Working on it, but so expensive.

My Best friend is going to the Chicago school of osteopathic medicine doing his MD/DO as well. Both of his parents are MD/DO's so he's going to be completely loan free.

As far as crap just way out there,

I'm not a huge car guy, but the Ferrari California 350GT's styling has always had me weak in the knees.

A friend from collge is doing a DO but he's got a lot of scholarships due to his work, he has a genetic disease, so getting money has not been quite the issue. He's helping me get some scholarships, but mental illness/ptsd isn't a hot field unless you get a gov grant.
 
A motorcycle, probably. I've always wanted one, but it's technically a luxury device (though a an older 250r is all I'd really need for commuting), and I don't trust other drivers in my state whatsoever. I've had enough close calls in the car with people on their phones, speeding, etc.

A used ninja 250 is about $1,500. It's enough to get you started, I put around 20,000 miles on mine.

MSF course is $250, helmet and jacket is around another $250.

Well worth it.

I live in Los Angeles. We are so chill compared to Florida, NJ, NY.
 
some fresh air

What. Where are you?

On topic:

Nothing.

I don't have outlandish dreams. I like cars, watches, guns and whiskeys. And if I want something, it means I can actually afford it and I'll work very hard to get it.

Sure, I'll probably never have a Bugatti Veyron. But I don't really want that.

Yeah, I live in one of the colder places, with rampant precipitation, low temps, and chronically blind people in SUVs. Also the roads in my city are absolute trash.
