Out of curiosity, how cheap? My best friend's wife is full of Irish pride and would go nuts over one of these, so it may make a great housewarming gift for their new house.

I've wanted a really nice, heirloom-quality casual leather messenger/briefcase bag for a long time, the kind made by hand in America with American-tanned leather, a classic design that's going to look better with some age and patina. The thing is, I have a really nice waxed canvas bag with beautiful latigo leather accents and straps, which will last forever, and I either work from home or am in an office environment where I don't need to carry a bag for anything other than my personal items & books, so my current bag is perfectly fine. I wanted a leather weekender for a while, settled on a really nice, gorgeous waxed canvas with leather accents and it's beyond what I could have wanted, though the briefcase in leather is still something I covet. So I'm soon to get one...cannot resist it for much longer.

And other than that, just a custom steel cyclocross bike. But that has some functional use since it would likely become my primary bike for road and occasional CX racing and because I'm extremely short with weird proportions, so custom geometry would finally get me on a bike that really maximizes the fit, not a bad thing considering the amount of time I spend on the bike.

In line with what you want, I kinda want a roto-tiller. I don't even do gardening any more than I have to, which basically involves digging up our hostas every 2 or 3 years and splitting them. It really is a needless want, and I won't get one, but every time I see a roto-tiller in the hardware store I'm drawn to it.

So much this.

I might actually get a Model 3 in 3-4 years when my current car bites the dust, as long as the kinks are ironed out by then. But man do I want a Model X. And as of right now I don't even have a friggin house to plug the car into so it'd make NO sense.

I also want a Rolex, even though I never wear anything but my $80 fitbit.

Rolex Milgauss
Green or Blue

I bought the Fenix 3 Sapphire when it came out. Justified it with an IM that year (lousy I know). Well worth it. Has been on my wrist 24/7 since the day I bought it. Looks good, works great, all around good stuff.

 
My list is long, I have a fully admitted problem. But currently....

I want to pimp out my boat! We bought a Maxum 19' runabout I/O earlier this summer. It is a 1999, the interior is in great shape but the outside is a bit rough, and it started life as white and purple so it wasn't awesome to begin with. I want to put a vinyl wrap on the boat to cover the faded purple and to match my truck. Then I want to powdercoat the white trailer black. This winter I want to put a wakeboard tower with racks on it. And last but not least I want a bumpin sound system! Speakers on the tower, subs in the boat, bluetooth head unit, the works!

All stupid, but still want it. The tower is likely a for sure this winter. Wrap and stereo are less likely, but doesn't mean I won't dream and try to find a way to justify it.

I paid 150. No idea if it was a good price really. It was at a coin show and I was buying greek and Roman coins s from the guy. His coin prices were good so assumed the price e for this was fair.

Mine has some minor damage on the collar.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

Also along the lines of a log splitter, I want a chainsaw. I've always wanted one, never really needed one. Growing up where I did, most of my male family members were in the timber industry one way or another and we'd spend the latter part of summer cutting firewood. Just seems a chainsaw should be in every mans garage.

Last time I used a chainsaw was 18 years ago cleaning up after hurricane Floyd. A bunch of us volunteered to assist in the clean up of a scouting camp (girls or boys, I don't remember which) in Franklin VA. Lots of toppled trees, spent a whole day just cutting away. Twas magnificent.

If you want a drone, get a drone. No reason you should really upset anyone. I have been using mine on a lake recently, videoing my kids skiing and wakeboarding (and getting some great video!). I flew over another boat last weekend and worried for a moment they would be upset. They thought it was cool and kept waving at it. I didn't stay near them long and I think as long as you maintain a respectful distance from other people (and especially their private property), it shouldn't be a big deal.

If you're going to get an expensive one though, have in mind a purpose for having it. If you just want to fly one around, get a cheaper one.

I want a chainsaw.

My wife bought me a new Jonsered 2252 last year, to replace my 30+ year old 510sp. I cut a few cords of firewood every year.

The new saw is awesome! It's like comparing a new bike to a 30-year old one; just about everything works better and is lighter.

More power from the same displacement, broader power band, less vibration, lighter, more fuel efficient, and so on.

Works great for dropping trees on the neighbor's power line!

E63 wagon.

It's all relative ... I was braggin' on my new saw to my neighbor who is a paramedic/firefighter. He one-upped me: they have the same saw on the fire truck - with a metal-cutting blade. He says it's pretty fun unzipping a SUV with it. Pretty damn noisy, too!

I have a friend with a 50 acre farm that a couple times a year I will help him cut up some trees. I really enjoy doing that. Great stress release after tax season. I keep thinking that since it isn't my property then it isn't a chore.

Should also be interesting going up there in a couple weeks since he just got a new toy. A big tractor with an attachment that will carry a two ton log. Should be fun.

I went ahead and got my splurge toy last year(drone) and will fly it when not using the chain saw or splitter.

Get out of here with that shit.

I really, really want to buy kite surfing gear. It's expensive, but I live in a great place for it, but my job and lifestyle pretty much guarantee that I wont be able to have the time to learn and enjoy it right now.

Every time it's windy and I'm running down by the water, I look out and see the kite surfers zipping around, and think "I just want to be doing that right now".

Long Chile was a silly place.

That's not a want - that's a need.
I have a '74 maroon midget - last year with the chrome bumpers.

Make sure to get a good one. Cheap ones are crap. Get a Stihl or Husqvarna. My mom bought a ~27" Stihl around 04, it was great, cut 18-24"Ø pine and maple like butter, was a joy to use, etc. Got stolen out of her barn in 06 :(

I think the list might be long, but the thing I probably scope out the most lately is a FN Scar 17s. After that, another motorcycle like the Ducati XDiavel.
