When I was in high school, I had a 1993 Eclipse GSX AWD turbo. I'm now 37 years old and not too keen on having a turbo any more. If I never had anything turbocharged, then I would run out and buy one. I've experienced it once. That is good enough.

It's not just turbo. If you never experienced something in the past, you may want to experience it now just for the heck of it. What may be that thing for you?
 
Going to the Grand Canyon
 
Flew in a helicopter on a Tampa tour. :P

organ transport by motorcycle with sirens in NYC but.... they usually do it by helicopter unless.... it's hospital to hospital in same city :dunno:
 
Wow, thanks for making me think a bit. SCUBA diving. I didn't finish my PADI course on Guam and would love to do this.
 
Going out to L.A. and seeing the Pacific Ocean, the Santa Monica pier, driving the Pacific coast highway and Beverly Hills. I was flown out there for E3 to cover gaming events and had a blast. The weather out there is absolutely perfect. No humidity! Unlike Florida which is a perpetual hothouse.

The wind noise is painful enough in a car with the window down while wearing aids. I can't imagine how bad it'd be while sky diving. :eek3:

I guess that was why the woman took her off. I do not drive with my window open anymore , I can only wear a HA in my left ear . My right ear got messed up in an auto accident .

you will have to remove your hearing aids prior to skydiving.

but for hearing people - they wear ear plugs or helmet
 
Having a family picnic on the baseball field of the Phillies old stadium with all the Phillies players including Pete Rose. Doubt I would have that experience again.
 
Living in the woods in a cabin with no power and only having a wood stove to cook on and having deer drinking water under a small waterfall falling over the mountain side. And being able to see a moon beam b/c the sky was so clear. And seeing the redwood trees before they're all done. I am glad I got to live in Northern California while it was still undeveloped .
 
i dunno what it'd be.....too many to list...Greenland, Tibet, Italy, Germany, gliding and maybe rent a Porsche 918 if i can afford it and drive it at the Autobahn.....

As a former Braves fan (I don't watch baseball anymore), I say booooooo!

In all seriousness, I wish MLB would accept Pete Rose back. Sure, he made a huge mistake, but it's time to forgive and move on. The guy, before he made that mistake, was a huge baseball legend. Fine, don't induct him into the HoF, but at least welcome him back in other ways.

I saw on my uncle's FB that he got together with him recently. I guess they still keep in touch. My uncle did transfer to play for the Braves at the end of his baseball career. Played with them for a few years before transferring to the Blue Jays and then retired in 1986, I believe.
