What is something you wanted as a kid and bought now that you're an adult with disposable income? (leminal.space)

I really wanted a modded Xbox 360 when I was younger because I thought being able to play 'backed up' games and having a custom dashboard was really neat.

I ended up buying one last year to fulfill that childhood wish.

A Honda S2000. I saw the first one in 1999-2000 before college, and I thought, hell yea I want that. So in 2008 I bought a brand new one that I still have.

I bought a new '99 Civic Si but when I saw the S2000 I wished I had waited. I loved my Si - it was blue and I named him Moonshadow -- but that S2000 is sweet. Will never forget driving from Vegas to SoCal and being passed by a guy driving an S2000. Or did I pass him? It was so long ago. One of us yelled "nice car!" and the other said "you too!"

It has <40k miles on it. It's not in pristine condition, but it has been garaged for basically the entire time I've had it.
