1. Car: very up in the air right now. pretty much any gen F-body would be fine with me or a foxbody notch....or an 03/04 cobra...or a bunch of other cars that I think are cool. Then I would need a tow rig, probably a new GMC 2500HD. and I'd need a lifted XJ to have fun with in the winter and a completely stock XJ for everyday use.

1.5 Garage: two car attached garage. Also a 5 bay detached with at least 2 lifts. 220V wiring and a compressed air system. It would probably need to be 3 cars deep too if we're making this our dream garage. Heat and AC, running water, some sort of storage area, a cherry picker, a few engine stands, a horizontal and vertical metal band saw, chop saw (already have one, but I'd get a bigger one), a 110 and 220 MIG welder, a 220 TIG welder, a hydraulic tubing bender, quite a few tool boxes and a crap load of tools and machines. I'd also want some sheet metal stuff like an english wheel, a finger brake, planishing hammer, bead roller and a stomp shear. I'd also want I'd also like to have a lot of wood working stuff, like a table saw, band saw, stuff like that.

2. House: two level 3-4 bedroom house with at least 2 full baths, full kitchen, a fireplace would be nice, a finished basement with a bar, pool table, bathroom and a big screen tv. A front porch, a deck out back and an inground pool. preferably on more than an acre of land and in a woodsy area, but not too far from civilization. I think it would be cool if it was a log house, those are sooooo nice!

3. Job: building custom cars, high performance street cars or full on race cars. I'd settle for being a flat rate tech in a high end dealership though.

4. spouse/bf/gf: A girlfriend would be wonderful and eventually I'd like to get married...but not for a while. I prefer brunettes over blondes, I do have a thing for redheads though. Must be smart, caring, funny, trustworth, understanding and above all else, love me for who I am.

5. Vacation: I havent taken a vacation in YEARS! I would be happy just to go south or see what the left coast is like. Of course, there is always Ireland...

6. Residency: NOT New Jersey! I love it here, dont get me wrong, but I dont think I will be able to afford it. I've been thinking about North Carolina for a few months now. Its nice down there, land and taxes are cheap and old cars dont rust. I fail to see a down side.
