[QUOTE="Robert871, post: 1724855, member: 10963"] Pretty simple, post a picture of something you truly, honestly, desire to own; but that you fear or know that there is pretty much or absolutely no chance of you ever obtaining one. when I say things, I mean things, not people, actresses and celebs or whatever. just things, objects and items. I will start. I want to own my very own restored and functioning (disarmed obviously) Elco 80' PT Boat. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i533.photobucket.com_albums_ee337_SpeedyHedgehog_PT_20Boats_PT103_refuling.jpg[/IMG] but.. I am sure there are very few left in one piece, even fewer that are not in collections or museums. and I am certain I will simply never get the opportunity to purchase one, even if it was a possibility and I had the money. but, I would honestly enjoy owning one. maybe not the upkeep or maintenance or fuel cots; but i would genuinely enjoy being able to say i own a WWII patrol torpedo boat. and while i am certain they are lacking compared to the performance of modern boats, i think it sounds like a rather capable vessel to have some fun joy riding with. 40+knots , which i bet out of a stripped refurbished model would be on the low end of the potential top speed. or cruise over 1000 miles on a single engine. and its still a piece of history. maybe some day i will be a rich successful person and can contract a company to make me a modern functioning replica of one. here's to my dreams, how about yours?
