One More Item Off of My Bucket List:

See a major league ballgame from the front row.

My son and I went to see the Houston Astros vs Cincinnati Reds this past Friday. Had a blast; wanna do it again. The game went into extra innings but the home team lost in 11.

How about yourself? Anything that you'd really like to do?

Fly a military jet.
Most likely won't happen unless somehow I end up with $15k I can burn for 1h of fun.

Buy and/or build a street rod and travel cross country with one of the tours like Car Craft

Drive Bugatti Veyron.

Another Mini Van or another girl friend? :D

On a more serious note, I always wanted to own a Ferrari. I doubt this is an item I will ever cross off the list, especially since I really want a Ferrari 250 GTO.

Thing is, Having driven many old cars...... they suck.

They are uncomfortable, Unreliable, difficult and just not as much fun to drive as a modern car.

They have a nostalgic quality but for an actual drive, they just plain suck.

I used to have a 1967 GTO. It ran like a scalded dog, cornered and braked accurately, had air conditioning, and was comfortable on very long trips.

I still miss that car.

Do you miss
Adjusting the carb ?
Vapor Lock ?
Adjusting points ?
Fouling plugs ?

I love old cars for the style and even love working on them but if I'm going to drive long distance, I would take a modern car every time.

In the case of the 250 GTO, being impractical is sorta the point. It was built for the track with few compromises. Just think what a fun filled weekend you could have balancing it's 6 Weber carbs :rolleyes:
