RE: Unless you wrecked it.....

Other than health and wealth ?

A 1970 W-34 Oldsmobile Toronado. Mint condition except for the addition of a very effective theft deterrent, and we are talking about 100,000 volts here. Decades ago just the camshaft out of one of those was worth like a thousand. Not sure if it was based on a Duntoff design or what, but other than really needing those headrests for hole shots it also had a passing gear at 100 MPH. I want to see how these newfangled shitcans with the 99 valves per cylinder do against old style brute force. Hell they don't have the traction to do it. Mine would rip the asphalt off the road.

With the health and wealth I could probably find one close to what I want, but I am sure I would have to travel the country to find it, maybe farther, they did export a few to rich people here and there. Production was quite limited as well, so finding a really good specimen would not be easy.

And along with that health and wealth would be better eyesight so I don't smash it, and to live in a community where I can really drive it.

Actually even more than that I would like a world in which people really get along and care about others. But the odds of that are even less than me winning the gold at Women's gymnastics. Remember the joke about the biker who asked god for the bridge to Hawaii ? He then said he would settle to be able to understand Women. Then god says "How many lanes you want on that bridge ?".

A bridge to Hawaii is actually possible, but the cost would be ridiculous. It would have to be elevated so that people didn't get splashed off of it from the waves, though it is called the Pacific because it is a bit calmer than most seas. Still there are waves and once built, elevating it a tad more is not practical.

Hell I am surprised Hawaii hasn't been washed away by now.
