Like people wanting to fly in a figher jet, for most to all(ever experienced commerical pilots) its not that comfortable of a deal and bragging rights just do not add up to anything.

I don't get the Everest thing either. It looks like a miserable undertaking and I think about 10% of those who go up stay up forever (at least from their point of view).
I can definitely see flying (or even being a passenger) in a fighter jet being a rush. I suspect it's like the airborne version of driving an F1 car which is not easy or comfortable as well, but that doesn't mean that I wouldn't want to do it.
For me, hmm, I'm not sure. I'll have to think about it. I've got a good woman, I've traveled some (could use some more). I'd like to end up getting out on a track. I've had a 911 and now 2 miata, and in all of that time (about 12 years, I think), I've never been to the track. They are my daily drivers, and I can't afford to walk away from them. I guess I'd like to drive on some of the big tracks, like the 'Ring, Laguna Seca, etc.... I'd like to get out to Cali and drive on Mulholland (and ride in Bannings car) and meet some of the fine Porsche guys from over that way.
I'd like to do more travel, see stonehenge, the Giants Walk, the pyramids, Rome, Germany, drive on one of the unlimited autobahns, see the Alps the Grand Canyon, the Redwood Forest, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Glaciers in Alaska.
I'd like to learn to speak Japanese and Spanish at least, possibly a few more.
