Bucket Lists

[scot w.]

This topic has come up alot lately so I thought I would start a thread.
Bucket list is that list of things you want to do before you "Kick the Bucket". We all have one, some more ambitious than others, but all important to each of us.
I will start, and yes, fortunately, I have been able to check off several.

1. Have a nice family, House, vehicles and give my kids what I never got- Check! This is an ongoing process! LOL

2. Own/Build a magazine car - Check! In fact, I have been lucky, iv'e had two in magazines. One Grand National, One T-Type (current car)..

3. Buy a motorhome and travel around the country on a six month cruise - Still waiting!

4. Be able to compete in all the Major Pro-Touring events in one year - Still waiting!

5. Would love to visit Italy, Venezuela and Alaska - Still waiting! Wife wants to take a cruise, maybe Alaska? lol

6. Attend my first Road Race and compete - Still waiting but will happen Soon! Next year is the plan...

7. Go to Sturgis and Daytona for bike week - check, several times!

8. Build a Harley Davidson from scratch - Check, Built several and won awards with one at the Rats Hole chopper show!

9. Have/Run our own family business - Check!

10. Build a car with my sons and compete with them on a Road Course/Autocross - Still Waiting! Two more years untill my oldest can drive, Time to start building!


These are in no particular order, but all have been on my list for many years. I am working my way thru pretty good.
This is harder than you think, Let's see your bucket list! try to list 10

Understand women...

Naaaaa. That's unrealistic. Maybe something a bit simpler, like world peace.

Honestly. I'd like to do at least 1000 skydives in my life. (I'm at about #540 right now).

Happy spooling.

#1 I want to get my dragster in the 3.90 zone in the 1/8 mile , and 6.40 zone in the 1/4 mile.

#2 I want to get my VW pro Stock car together this winter and run for the ECPRA championship in 2011. And hopefully own the record which is cyurrently 6.02 in the 1/8 mile.

#3 I want to build our log home hopefully this year. I have owned the land for 8 years and have it totally landscaped it and built a 32 x 60 log sided garage on it but havent been able to take the plunge into the house. Im going to go back to work this year doing something. Been retired for about 4 years!!

#4 I basically have 4 stage 2 engines that are within 40 hours each of being complete. Hope to get all of them assembled this winter and ready for the spring!!

#5 I hope to develop a billet stage 2 head for my engines that will get me in the 3's and take the punishment Im giving it!!

Thats all the bucket list items I have time for right now!! Maybe I will get a few of these off my list this winter and move on to some more!! Mike

Being the youngest, you would think I have no care for a bucket list at this point in time. But this is what I want to do before I die(in no particular order):

1.) Sky Dive at a height where there is no oxygen (I think its 32,000 feet?) or sky dive at all
2.) Travel to France, experience the culture, and try every kind of food there
3.) Travel to Egypt where I will visit tombs, pyramids, and trek out into the desert
4.) Climb Mount Everest
5.) Drive at 200 MPH or more in an exotic car
6.) Learn to Fly, and fly across the world
7.) Own both a GNX and GSX Stage 1
8.) Travel into space, even its for a few seconds
9.) Fly on the Vomit Comet
10.) Bungee Jump
11.) Explore the rain-forests in both Africa, and South America
12.) Obtain the largest speeding ticket ever
13.) Travel across the US

Thats it. Copied right from my NB.

OK,OK, I owe it to you to be serious.

I already gave you 2, so 8 more...

Marry the most incredibly beautiful 39 year old women I have ever seen.( We got engaged at BPG this past summer)
Get my DLS stroker built.( My job is very up and down the last few years.)
Put the finishing touches on my 62 409 car.
Visit New Zealand.
Make one 9 sec pass in my GN once the stroker is in.
Build the home of my dreams to retire in.
Coach a State Champion football team.

and last but not least,

Build the most stunning 87 T anyone of you have ever seen. ( I have the complete concept already complete and have contacted a few select members who may help.) If I do, it will never be forgotten...

I know this sounds lame and gay, but there's not much more that I desire out of life. Good enough house, healthy family, just bought our first new car. That being said, here's my rather dorky list of things I may do if life allows me:

1: Build a new house. Not a mansion, just a 3 bedroom ranch with a layout that we draw up.

2: Drive a cool car everyday. This one will likely happen, it's just not practical right now with 2 kids in car seats and a babysitter that lives on a rock road. Something slightly cooler than my 2000 grand caravan that I bought because of the integrated child seats. Need a grand cherokee srt8.

3: Find time to do some drag racing. 7 years with this car and not one trip down the strip

4: Travel somewhere overseas.

5: Hit the barrett jackson in vegas. Kind of a twofer here. Never been to vegas. Or a barrett jackson

6: Buy a bulldozer. Dunno why, I've just always wanted a tracked vehicle and I'll never afford a tank. So I'll have to run over a car or two with my bulldozer.

7: Build a serious off road rig. I had a starting platform, lifted shortbed, but had to sell it. I'll startt over with something lighter anyway, like a wrangler.

8: Build my own turbo and EFI system on an old big block mopar. Put in something really big and heavy. Like a new yorker or imperial.

9: Learn the fine art of cooking. Attend a culinary arts school or something. Not a joke, I seriously want to.

10: Run barefoot through a field of boobies. I had no idea that I wanted to do this, until about 10 minutes ago. Not a joke. I seriously want to.
