Help me spend some dough...

So I may have decided to stop being a tightwad and allow my self to spend $10k on something. But the question is what?

My wishlist in no particular order-

New suspension for the G - $1800

Motorcycle... haven't really decided on a model yet Ducati Supersport 800 maybe? $8000

Stillen Stage 2 SC with all of the trimmings. $8000

Membership to the Foundation Room. $3500 (it's a little snobbish but the view is awesome)

Nine group (Palms) VIP membership $3000 (nice place to visit, but it's so crowded on the weekends that you can barely get a drink)

Guns... lots of guns. (nuff said)

ADDED- 75 shot of Nitrous done right i.e. window switch, nitrous controller, purge, remote bottle opener etc. $3500

ADDED- Canon EOS 5d $3500



So help me out, what would you get? Anyone got anything to add to the list. Or should I just leave it in the bank where it belongs?

Car toys and guns.


The bike would be cool, but we don't heal as fast as we used to.

I like the Nine Group, my friend has a membership. Then get a Vortech so you don't have to get the crazy hood.

Suspension will make you just as fast on the track, and at autocross especially as the supercharger so I would get that first.

Motorcycles are really fun, but WAY too dangerous around Las Vegas. I have known 1 kid that died on one and another that lost his leg. Both accidents were not the rider's fault.

Stillen Stage 2 with the suspension is the way I would go, but thats just me.

Club memberships arent really my style. I get pissed when I have to pay a $20 cover, but whatever floats your boat...

Guns are fun too, but not as fun as a fast car.

The Nine Group membership sounds awesome. Get an MP5K (with 30-round mags), a Glock 18 or 18C (don't know if you can get either of them... class III weapons), and a long gun, preferably an 870 Marine Magnum with top folding stock & heat shield. Or an MV Agusta F4... mmmmm Agusta...

Go see Jim Wolf. Tell him that your not worried about CARB certification and get the twin turbos. You can keep your stock hood too.

I'm pretty hard headed about having a smooth torque/hp curve so turbo is kinda out of the question for me. I can live with the ugly hood, nobody will be able to see it while they are eating my dust.

I think that I've decided to put off the SC and to instead save up a downpayment for a GT-R. It's a long wait, but I get the feeling that it'll be worth it. This is the sketch that they are supposedly showing at this years Tokyo auto show.

I'm still getting the suspension though. Most likely Tein Flex w/ EDFC.

So the GT-R is most likely coming out in 2007 as a 2008 model?

Get the SC, you'll love the power.

Dang, that's a good point. The last report I read said that it's going to be rolled out in 2007. So does that mean as a 2007 model or 2008 model. Gonna have to do more research, I was thinking that I could get one by the end of '06.

I just read up on my350 about it, sounds like the word should be released in a day or so. That car looks freakin' awesome. From the rear it's very vette-like. I must have one. Right about the time I finish with the Z.

So I finally decided to go with an EOS 1D MKII N I'm still a photographer at heart, and my Tein Flex with EDFC. I haven't ruled out the Stillen SC yet, but I may put it off for a couple of months.

Yeah, please put it off until January at least. I know if you get one now, then after a ride along, I am going to have to buy one and I can't afford it right now.
