...........what luxury item would you buy??? By luxury, I mean anything that is not a necessity of every day life, but would just be cool to have. Perhaps, something that was a big part of your childhood for remeberance purposes. Maybe an item from a movie or TV series or something. I bring this subject up, because I am just ga-ga over a K.I.T.T. replica that is being sold here in Houston. I posted about it in the Sci-Fi thread. I swear, I looked at that listing and the guy's website, that showed the restoration process, for hours and hours. It brought back so many memories of my childhook like nothing else has ever done. Kiddingly, I asked my wife what she thought of me buying it. Of course, she wasn't down with it. However, she did say that if our baby's education was already paid for, then she would be all for it since she has never seen me so excited about something. So there is hope!! I attempted to justify my desire to purchase it by explaining to her that its pretty common for people to buy older cars just for their sentinmental value. Anyway, so what warm and fuzzy item would you buy if you had the money to do it??
If money were no object, I would purchase clones of Pamela Anderson, Britney Spears, Anna Kournekova, Gina Gershon, and every Penthouse Pet of the Year for the last 10 years and stock them in my own private harem.
I would buy the Houston Astros. I would put together the best team money can buy, and I would start by signing Andy Pettite and retaining Gerry Hunsicker.
I would buy the Houston Rockets and Bayern Munich. I would also buy a lot of stuff like cars, planes, boats - and definitely endless loads of hightech stuff. I think I could blow a billion dollars within a month easily :
I would buy Crawford Ranch and then re-sell to the highest bidders looking for a place to dump their restricted toxic wastes.
SJC, I meant one luxury item, not multiple. Pippen, So if money was no object, you would rather do something spiteful than something to make you feel warm and fuzzy???
I would have a company set up that buys everything I want. Then I would buy that company as the one luxury item that I am allowed to buy.
I would buy the Titans, change their uniforms and team name back to the old school Oilers, move them to Austin, hire Warren Moon as the head coach and myself as the GM and live out my fantasy. And I would hire the Brazilian soccer team as the new cheerleaders.
I would buy luxury boxes at all Texan, Rocket and Astro games. Seriously. Oh yeah, each one would be open to all Clutch BBS members for every game. No corporate fatcats allowed!
I'd have a custom arcade cabinet built to house my MAME collection. They just don't have the same feel on a PC. There's a gold-plated DeLorean in Dallas (IIRC) that'd be pretty cool to have.
I'd buy world peace. Hah, yeah right. I'd buy a house with an indoor pool or just one with a spa in the living room would be alright with me.
