Restore a car
Drive an Italian super car
Own a V12
Drive a stick
Own muscle car
Own a pre war classic
Cross country road trip
What is your bucket list?

Solid list. I didn't even think about driving tracks. Better get on that 911 before they all skyrocket into the stratosphere.

I want to daily-drive a sand rail. That's honestly the only attainable goal I can think of right now.
Obviously I'll never own a Koeniggsegg or participate in an all-exotic demolition derby or anything else like that, so yeah.

Haha yea, the 911 is more of an "If I ever have lots of disposable income" bucket list item. To be honest the 2002 isn't a much easier quest, every one that is in the condition that I would like is about 15k more than I could see myself spending!

see all of the trinity (Porsche 918, LaFerrari, P1)
The problem with this one is if you don't see them soon that will be old news.

At least three of these can be complicated if you can buy a 76 Eldo

you should have an interest in travel.
whether for sightseeing (the grand canyon, or big sur or something like that) or cultural interest (paris, germany, east asia, peru). then figure out how that travel piece might fit nicely into a car-related adventure.
its also easier to convince a lady friend that driving around france is a worthwhile ordeal when "paris" and "south of france" are involved. :)

I've always wanted a 911, but that's fading with the completely ridiculous market for them.
Otherwise:
Work for a Le Mans team
Finish my 2002
Finish my Lancia
Restomod my Vanagon
Drive a Ferrari F40
Bask in the magnificence of a V12 Matra
Build an electric car
Wheel the Rubicon
Own a prewar classic (even a Model T would be great)
Drive an Aston Martin V12 Vantage
Drive the 'Ring. I've been there, but was working.
Build a Caterham
I'm sure the list will change, but these are fairly constant.

Luckily my parents have given me that interest in travel and thankful I have seen a lot of North America. I will have to figure out how to start incorporating cars into my travels though

If you live in the midwest and ever get a chance to go to Michigan they have a Model T driving school.
