Bucket List (What is yours?)
Just wondering what everybody's bucket list consists of and what has already been checked off in the past?!
I'll start with some car related ones:
And some non-vehicle ones:

Finishing a marathon is probably the number one thing I've accomplished.
Now I want to run one in every state :thumbup: Being able to write for a living is a pipe dream, if not really a bucket list item. (It turns out I suck at writing anything other than papers for English class :p ) And maybe getting a 900 mile tank out of this Jetta...which as far as I know has never been done on a MkVI. |
Nurburgring!

You should start a blog, you never know where it might end up! A 900 mile tank on my Corolla would be awesome! I currently get 390-400, depending on how much I want to push the last gallon or less. Quote:

Ride bicycle from SF to LA... CHECK!
Win at dragracing.... CHECK! Race at Bonneville Salt Flats.... CHECK! and CHECK! Crew on a Top Fuel Dragster... CHECK! still open: Drive 200mph in an air-cooled VW powered racecar at Bonneville Salt Flats Drive 300mph on land, in something Race the famous Pike's Peak race Solo motorcycle tour across the US Go to Indy to watch the Indy 500 Watch the F1 race at Monoco Hike the Inca Ruins at Macapichu See the great pyramids of Giza Experience Italy at my leisure Visit my immigrant Grandfather's hometown of Skopjia in Eastern Europe One day, understand women... oh wait, gotta throw one impossible dream in there, that's fantasy! LOL! |
Saw this commercial and had to add this to my 'when I'm filthy rich' bucket list.

Import a diesel G Wagon, camperize it as much as possible, sell all my cars and my place. Even the ones I said I'd never sell in a million years, just dump all of it, then just drive around the world, or even just NA/SA. And never have to deal with the car business again, or any business at all for that matter. Can a lifestyle choice be considered a "bucket list" item?

Write for a living? Half-check. As in, the checks only pay half the bills.
Learn how to heel-and-toe? Check. Learn how to do the scandinavian flick? Check. Break 150 mph? Check. Learn how to hypermile? Check. Wife and kids? Check. --- Waiting: Cycle cross country (any country) in a velocipede. Take a looooong train ride. Seat time in a fighter or aerobatic plane. Break 100 mpg in a four-seat car with AC. Restore a Beetle. or. Turn the rusting hulk of a Beetle in to topiary sculpture or modern art. Fly a human-powered vehicle. Build my own car. |
My bucket list is fairly short. To see my inspiration become reality with global implications in energy conservation, storage, and application.
If that happens then everything else will come with that success, but I will probably be too old to enjoy the fruits of that labor. The real fruit of that labor will be to see some recognition of the efforts involved in convincing people of the real innovation involved in the effort. If that includes financial benefits, that would be nice, but I doubt it will come in time for me, and that's OK. regards Mech |
