    Just a few from my Bucket List:

    Provide both of my daughters with a good college education and the tools to make it on their own - one down, one to go
    Own a Ferrari - got that one checked off
    Go to the Indy 500 and the Kentucky Derby
    See Bruce Springsteen in concert
    Take off and land on an aircraft carrier in an F-18.

    That last one may take some doing.

    A few that I think of:

    -Have a job I enjoy
    -Own both a Ferrari and Lambo (at one time)
    -Meet a girl worth marrying
    -Give my parents grandchildren
    -Skydive

    The two most important to me are marriage and kids. I'm an only child and my parents are in their 60's so it's deeply deeply important to me.

    Road trip with no plans
    Own a Ferrari
    Skydive, or better yet, fly in a wing suit
    Write a book

    Own a Ferrari.
    Win the WBA heavyweight world title (still got a long ass way to go!).
    Compete in the 24 heures du Le Mans with a few of my close friends.
    Drive faster than 200mph.
    Get married sometime. But she'd have to be pretty special, lol.
    Have kids with said wive.
    Have a go in any kind of jet. That would be pretty cool.
    Make enough money to go and see every GP in one season, with some good tickets.
    If I happen to outlive all my close friends (which I doubt) and i've got nothing more to live for (which I doubt) I'd consider a ride in to space. If the rocket blows up it sure is one hell of a way to go, right?

    A big fantasy would be to own an Ferrari F1 car, perhaps an earlier V10 one since you dont need 14 people just to start the damn thing (whats the point of having one and not being able to start it up on a sunday morning to annoy the neighbours, unless you invite a whole team of your mechanic buddies? let alone drive it...)

    Get a long-term rental for 2-3 months (I think tourist visa can be 90 days) and feel things out. It's a change of pace that's for sure, even though Auckland is a modern city that reminds me a lot of Seattle. I think about moving [back] there every few days... it's hard to up and move a family trans-Pacific without a solid plan. If I were single I'd just book a flight and make it happen. One of my life goals, per this thread, is to get a place there.
