Okay, we all have them. Those silly, ridiculous things your want simply because "That is cool" or when you see it the first word out of your mouth is "WANT".

A Studebaker Avanti or Avanti II (but only if the Avanti II was built before Blake took over -- still think the later ones are pretty but don't want to own one). Which is a ridiculous because I'm not a mechanic, nor is hubby, and we're talking cars that've been around forty years or more. Wouldn't want to try fitting five kids in there, either. First car I ever fell in love with. My grandma had one when I was a kid and I thought it was the coolest thing ever and still do.

Realized once that all the cars I've liked since have that same long nose with kind of boxy front, and then they're tucked in and a bit curvy in the back. Meaning I have a weakness for pretty much all the pony cars from around 1966 except the Barracuda, which is not tucked in properly in the back, so I hate it. :rolleyes:

I'll bite. Why is that ridiculous? I think one would be wonderful. In fact, there are only two reasons that I can see for which owning one would be ridiculous: 1) if you never played it, didn't keep it up and let it go to waste, and 2) if you deprived others of hearing its sound. For either of those circumstances, the Marsupial Welcoming Committee would become the Marsupial Punishment Committee.

It's ridiculous mostly because of the cost to acquire one.

Our recital hall here in Toronto has both a Hamburg and a New York Steinway. The artist gets to choose which they would prefer for their gig. The Hamburg one seems to be more popular.
