I really, really, really want a Pinarello Dogma 65.1! It's like the Pagani Zonda R of bicycles! That being said, I don't have $12,000 to spend of a bicycle, which makes me sad :(. So what's something ridiculously overpriced that you want at the current moment in time?

:/ $24K for a six-cylinder tourer. A PROPER 6-CYLINDER TOURER.

So. Much. Want.

$6500 for the body only, and all of the lenses I have now are DX format, so tack on a few grand for FX lenses, which are more expensive than DX lenses, but theres pretty much no point in shooting with DX lenses on something the larger FX sensor... Not happening, unfortunately. I'll stick with the D300s I have.

The thing is, it's not a lot of horses for a 1.6 Straight 6, but it's powerful. Slightly.

Damn! For $6500 I'd go for a Leica M7!

I'd rather go with a Moto Guzzi v7 racer myself. It's only 11k!

Well 6 Previas and one somewhat decent NA, or high mileage NB

Sticking to non-cars? I really want a turbine powered plane. It'd be a few grand.

I love Leicas, or rather I love the idea of Leicas. Unfortunately I've never gotten the chance to use one. But if I was comparing the M7 to the D4s, I would have to go with the Nikon. I have an irrational brand loyally to Nikon. However, if I was going to be completely unrealistic with what I wanted, I would go Leica S2.

It only costs a cool $21,000. Yup. Tweny-one thousand dollars. And that doesn't even come with a lens.... Oi. Talk about something I can't afford.

Ack! I cannot ride that since it's not geared to upright people like me (6'2").

Unless it peddles for itself, no way.

You could buy a Specialized Turbo S for $6500 and it has a top speed of 30 mph at full electric power! And trust me, 30 mph on a big bike like that is MORE than fast enough!

It's completely unnecessary and my current hatchet works just fine, but damn it's pretty.

I'd totally be down for that, if only the system worked that way.
