Your dream purchase. What would you buy?
 
Just for shytes and giggles.... Lets say you had the opportunity to buy only one thing you have always wanted. Something that would normally be completely unobtainable to you. This is something you have longed for your whole life , or just recently. Money would be no object. No limit on price. You can pick it up today
(and no you cant buy a person..:D)
What would you buy?

Here is my pick. I have dreamed of her since I was a little kid. ( now i'm just a big kid):p

So, obviously, that's a boat of some sort, but what sort of boat is it? What's it do, and why is that your dream purchase?

+1

And mine would be a 40 or 50 ft sail boat.

slakjaw 06-22-2010 07:26 AM

wait. are you going to try and get on whale wars?

masraum 06-22-2010 07:30 AM

Hmm, that's a really tough one. I'm having a hard time deciding. My interests are diverse, so picking one thing is difficult.

Some options (assuming that if I can afford to purchase these things, I can afford to own them).

How about the Biltmore estate in Asheville.

Himeji castle!

Maybe a sprawling Villa on a hill in Andalusia Spain

Hmm, Martini or Gulf colors?

Vinny,
Is that John Wayne's mine sweeper?

Best,
Tom

VINMAN 06-22-2010 07:57 AM

Nope!

Almost surely would be some sort of cool property. A private island, maybe.

Cars, boats, etc - they don't get me that excited.

VincentVega 06-22-2010 08:17 AM

I've been looking for a place on the water for a long time. Nothing fancy, just a little house, nice shop, small beach....

Someday

legion 06-22-2010 08:18 AM

Road America.

And I'd put my house right in the middle.

crustychief 06-22-2010 08:18 AM

Calypso! Is she for sale?

crustychief 06-22-2010 08:19 AM

I think I would also like to by a large yacht, as long as it did not have the maintenance costs and slip fees along with it.

A 2010 ZR-1 Corvette and a 1953 Buick Skylark
