Post a pic or name at least one odd thing that you think you want but can't yet justify purchasing even though you can probably afford it.

I've never played one of these, but it may be just what I "need". They are a little rare and only sold in a few stores (none in my area).

Wood Violins 6-String Fretted Viper Electric
Price: $3,509.00

Not odd, but really want the new TaylorMade M-1 Driver. But deep down inside, I know it really won't help all that much. Cannot justify $400-500

Penis reduction... My back and hips are killing me and it's getting harder and harder to find time to attend awareness rallies for deep-well, low-mount urinals with a hot water line connections, but wifey is already wreckt down there and that's after, like, 6 non-childbirth episiotomies. So, you know, it's a real 'damned if I do' kinda thing... A pipe dream, I guess you could call it.

They'll be $199 come the end of the year.

Gucci horse-bit loafers and some Storm Thorgerson Pink Floyd album cover prints.

Can't justify the cost, but would be nice to have. Although we really haven't lost power that much, so it's completely a waste of time/money/resources. American way, I guess.

^Los Gatos - me, too, brother, me too.

If not LP, then 2+ weeks in Australia/New Zealand (#1 on my bucket list). Cost > $12k for me and wife

As cool as that is, I cannot imagine dropping $2,000 on that, which a lot of cosplay nerds do without hesitation.

Got two quotes on installing a natural gas powered generator. Needed just enough power to run the refrigerator, thermostat and fan on furnace. The generator cost around $2400 for the smallest and around $2800 for the next largest size. Not too bad. However, the installation costs added $3k+ to the cost. We simply couldn't justify the cost. I'd have done it for $4500 or so.

If I had a man cave, something odd I would like to have in it is either of these.



I'd just settle for the man cave right now. I thought about buying a nice wood shed for a couple thousand and convert it into a man cave. I guess that would be odd as well, but much cheaper than trying to build an addition to the house.

super nice bar with seating for 6-8 people, pinball machine, video games, I guess what I mean is a 1st class, spare no expense full size basement area with nothing but toys for me.

I had a bonus room in my house a few years ago (4800 sq ft, but have downsized twice, now at 2300 sq ft.). had a pool table, golden tee golf game, 70 inch tv. But I dream of having a full basement with nothing but **** for me. Like a 80 inch tv, the bar mentioned, keg cooler, coke machine stocked with beer, several video games and pin ball machines, nice hot tub, sauna, DJ booth, nice sound system etc etc. Maybe even a gd stripper pole.

If not, maybe like a three hole golf course in my back yard with a full size basketball court.

I mean good credit lets us all afford things , but I just couldn't see spending 50-60k doing a nice basement area, and have no damn clue how much it would cost to build a three hoile course and basketball court. But I can dream. Not into fancy, expensive cars, hell our newest car is a 2012, not counting my company car, so cars I have no desire for.

I'm one of those nerds.:smiley: Mine is a UD Replicas suit though.

Super jealous. If I wasn't married and didn't have kids, I'd probably wear that suit out every single night. I've never seen the UD replica with the cowl and cape; only the armor.

I would settle for this as well, which is like $1,500 less.

Yeah, I'm not married. It's definitely popular when you wear it out. I got the cape and cowl through Gotham City FX (which I believe is the suit you posted). I like the UD Replicas suit better because it's much more durable than rubber, even if it's not as screen accurate.
