I voted for a place in the mountains. Although today it's -12*F with a -40*F wind chill so the tropical island isn't look too bad. Maybe a winter house and a summer one.

If money were no object I would also move out to California get a professional trainer to get in shape, then find away to meet and date Jessica Alba...well the Jessica before she got pregnant.


I like beer. On occasion I will even drink a beer to celebrate a major event such as the fall of communism or the fact that our refrigerator is still working.

I just saw Into the Blue last week for the first time.

I can't wait to get my new TV and get that on Blu-ray.

Good to hear. I bought myself a PS3 for Christmas but haven't watched any movies with it yet on my old TV. New TV is coming as soon as I get the stand designed and built.

There we go... If money wasn't a problem I would just buy a TV stand. lol

Unlimited money and time. Let me see...

Gather my family and fly them to the awaiting 150 foot yacht in the Carribbean, take a week cruise and on the final day dole out the checks (with my attorney). One week is about all I could do with those people!

I would then have 4 homes. One in each of the peak North American seasons - winter, spring, summer and fall. Although that brings up conflicts. Is the winter home in Aspen or Islamorada?

I would then charter a private jet and visit each of NHL cities for a home game against their biggest rival and sit in the stands - not in a box! (big hockey fan). Then go to every 2009 Formula 1 race. (big F1 fan)

Drive the Nurburgring.

Finally have a stable of vehicles like the ole Reason For Higher Education posters. Two of them woulld be a Ferrari Enzo or FXX and a full Dinan modified BMW M6.

If that all kills me by 2010 so be it.

I selected by a mansion and party all the time for the first year. The second year on forward i would get down to the nitty gritty of my master plan muahahahah. The mansion would be build on in the middle of no where PA on a compound that would house my friends and the associated companies that would employ them. I would need about 100- 150 acres to accommodate the 2.5 mile road course and 40 + miles of mountain biking trails. The garage would start off with a capacity for 15 cars and include a full down draft spray booth and full fabrication shop. Keep in mind I worked a year of weekends at a body shop and 14 years as a tool and die maker in a blow mold fabrication machine shop. That's all to restore and maintain my toys eerrrrr cars I would have a bunch of cows soully for tax purposes to qualify as a farm. I would rent out the track and charge people a small fee for access to the trails and room and board at a B&B
The first business I would get off the ground is a brick and mortar high end mountain bike shop with an internet bike company to keep the operation rolling year round. Then I would open my own beer brewery to employ my friend who is an excellant brewer and utimately will have some sort of master brewer position in real life. I would also keep detailing cars in my free time if I have any only because I enjoy it so much.

As far as cars go where to I start
1. 65 mustang (already own it)
2, 08 TBSS (see above)
3. Factory five Daytona Coupe (actually working on the financing of this one)
4. NC Miata
5. NA miata
6. NA miat with big turbo kit
7. Lamborghini Muira
8. 1965 Shelby GT350R
9. 1959 Beetle
10. Fiat Abarth 1000 TCR
11. '32 ford lowboy
12. Ford GT40 mkIV
13. 1969 Boss 302 mustang
14. 1970 Torino 429 SCJ
15. 194 Merc hotrod


But before all of this happens I will buy my gf a diamond that is as big as her heart.

I would buy my dream house and lease a warehouse where I could store, detail, and work on my car collection.

But first, I would buy an Audi Q7 TDI and tour the country for a few months. Key West, baby...


2010 Hyundai Santa Fe - Harbor Gray

Even sometimes I, in a moment of what could only be described as pure sanity, question the rationality of this obsession.
