Like this collection of knick knacks below, I have been growing my LP

collection, but there is one collection I want more than anything else. I want a stable of GTOs.

“But CaptDale, surely you only need one or two.”

That would be true if it was of the same car, like multiple 04-06 GTOs like the one I have, but no, I want one of every car to carry the GTO badge.

Here is my list so far:

Well that is my list so far... it will be a lot of money...

Did I miss any GTOs?

What about you guys? Any weird collections you want?

EDITED :

I want a shit ton of 90s Specialized Bikes, I’ve got 2 right now. I also find it worth noting that I would like a Sega Saturn, but not as much as paying 300 bucks for one

Ah I’ve used all mine up when dating trying to fill the void that was my soul when it died. But they always catch on that I am soulless.

Hmmm, interesting. I didn’t know there were GTO motorbikes....

still not gto judges, I still stand by my point.

Hmmm.... I guess, but it’d have to be the Jim Wangers GTO Judge since I know him and have seen the car in person, It is wonderful , too bad it never happened

I was hard pressed between that and the California.... but I guess it was GT California... I’ll edit

Well you are of no use nor interest to me then!

I wouldn’t mind a collection of H22-powered cars. 4th and 5th gen Preludes (already have them), 5th gen Accord SiR wagon (eligible for federalization), 6th gen Accord Euro-R (importable in 2025).

I have a decent LP collection growing, and I guess I collect vintage audio equipment, but that just sort of happened by accident.

I have some vintage audio stuff, but I would really love a nice tube amp and such....

Hmmm, ok. That would be neat

Well I wasn’t offering myself for your collection.

Good as you are just an empty husk now after all those years of pointless and soul destroying dating.

I like the California too. But the 250 GTO is just a personal favorite :)

I’m in favor of the “Why not both?” idea lol

I highly recommend a nice tube amp. The Dynaco ST70 I use is wonderful, but those are pretty pricey for a good one

1 of every version of E34 (in wagon and sedan form) sold in America in 1995, the final year of the body style and the one I have. Starting at the bottom (525i) and going all the way up to the M5 and also M5 Touring (the only European car in the collection). It’s only like 8 cars, but it would be neat. Maybe I’d even get them in the same color.

Lol, that sounds like a fun collection

That is why they are both there.

I collect beer caps. I have around 400, all different. 2 picture frames in my laundry room. (that’s where my wife lets me display my proof of alcoholism) 144 in each frame. Almost ready for frame 3. I’d share a pic but, Kinja is a cruel hearted bitch. I’ve never been able to get a pic to post. I can however change my profile pic. tiny pic of beer caps coming

Good luck seeing them

That’s kinda cool! I like that they are all different, that’s a lot of beer

"Noodles" (hilgyjeep)
12/30/2016 at 11:44, STARS: 1

Thanks. It’s getting really hard to find caps that I don’t already have

Hmm... Yeah, you’ll have to start hitting smaller brewers.

I have wanted a Noble M12 so badly ever sense I learned about the engine it uses. Numbers 3, 5, and 7 are definitely cars I love too.

Plus stacked headlight goodness right?

I used to collect knives and swords. Not a whole lot of real collectibles, though. Mostly cheap BudK crap.

"CaptDale - is secretly British" (captdale)
06/30/2017 at 19:29, STARS: 1

Yeah the Nobles are cool and the TT Duratec has to be fun.

Well maybe those are worth something now?

"CaptDale - is secretly British" (captdale)

You definitely are not wrong!

"Urambo Tauro" (urambotauro)
06/30/2017 at 19:38, STARS: 1

Doubt it haha. Most of the items were picked just for their (subjective) aesthetic value. I really like the concepts of the designs that they were shooting for, but in many cases the build quality is just so poor, there’s no way they’d be worth anything. I do have a few licensed TLotR pieces, though. Those ones are pretty nice.

06/30/2017 at 19:39, STARS: 0

Cool! I bet those are neat

06/30/2017 at 19:46, STARS: 1

Yeah I’m a sucker for just about everything Weta did on those films. The replicas are nowhere near that level of fine craftsmanship, but they’re not bad. It’s hard to pick a favorite.

You should do a Knifopnik post about them

I always want to twin turbo one in a Taurus. It would tak a massive amount of work as well as hacking but it would be fun. Well, fun if you stiffen it a ton.
