The finer things in life.

How about a VW Toureg?

Maybe a full size Toyota Tundra?

The best vehicles I ever drove for tall guys (I'm only 6' but I have freakishly long legs - 33x36 Levis) were 2-door Hondas. I actually had to move the the seat in my old Prelude and Civic up 2 clicks. Every vehicle I have owned since then I have had to move the seat all the way back and I still needed more room.

My brother is 6'3" and seems comfortable in his Boxster.

I drove a Boxster, it was cramped. My legs are 34" and my height is on my body.

I have the short height for the Porsche, but not the tall bank account Guess I'll have to stick with my Nissan Altima.

Michael, you have a child there. That's more money, and a better investment, than ANY car!

[Arturo]

6 or do pairs of Shell Cordovan leather shoes made by Alden or Allen Edmunds with the shell from the Horwein factory.

A home with a good view of the world

A favorite hotel for getaways...one with a classic lobby

A stream nearby to flyfish alone and watch nature

Some abolone pan-fried in garlic butter followed by braai with real wood

Sunrise over an empty beach with the smell of seabreeze on the wind. A cold mountain night under the milky way. A cup of coffee by a nice fire. A sunset flight in an old DC-3 with the wind screaming through open doors....and so many many more. All shared with family, close friends, old loves, old dogs, cats or anyone that brings strong feelings and good stories.

I've yet to own any material possession that produces the sense of well-being that I get from moments like that. That is for me, undeniably, the finest things of life.

This is a great response. Thanks! Hope the next thread will produce many great responses like these.

Nice photos DS/B.

Have two Sebenzas myself. 2003 and 2005 Wood inlays customs. One with Desert Iron Wood and one with California Burl. Been looking at getting a plain one, but with partially serrated blade. And also getting a engraved small sebenza. Also have couple of CR fixed bladed knives a Jereboam, one of the orginals made in South Africa back in the early 1980s, when Chris still lived there. And also have one of hie Rhino Skinners. He also just came out with a Special 1st Special Forces Group edition Pacific fixed blade. Need to hurry up and get one of the originals with the SF logo on it, only offered to former members of 1st SFG.

Chris Reeve has a good offer in place as well. Get a photo of yourself with one of his knives and the head of Osama Bin Laden, and he will give his company to you!!!! (believe it or not he was serious!)

May you enjoy yours as much as I do mine...

[leopardprey]

Very nice Guitar Incurable!!!!!!

[Incurable]

Indeed...

[Boopie]

I agree with the posters about what are "finer things" in life. A fine watch, pen, and cigar are definitely on the list...but I also can't help but think about the "Finer Things Club" in this last week's episode of "The Office" ("Branch Wars" episode).

Andy's attempt to 'sit in' was hilarious...

BTW: Thank you leopard... It's a jewel.

But if you really want to step up:


Hasselblad H3DII-39 SLR Digital Camera

S2000 Driver: I completely agree with a Hassy. Wish I had the extra cash to get one.

Used to shoot with a 501 CM, but decided to stay with 35 format, after digital photography's remarkable invasion of traditional photography.

I firmly believe, a Leica has its own mystique similar to Rolex's and Benz's.

All the best!

Just some of my favorite gourmet food accoutrements:

Parmagiana Reggiano: $17/pound
Quality Balsamic Vinager: $175/5oz
Saffron: $17/oz
Winter Black Truffles: $400/pound

[leopardprey]

Yes, also a fine Mountblanc pen is one of those things I always have on me.

3 things I always keep with me: Mountblack pen, custom pocket knife, and a nice mechanical watch.

[fear]

Hmmmm. Sebenza!

[leopardprey]

Fear, all you need is a good watch in that photo and you would have all bases covered!!!! Nice Sebenza!! Like the Blue Thumb Stud!

As promised, my friend has finished the web site for murderbox. I'd call it the Rolex of computers. http://murderbox.com/

Do not forget that boobies are one thing that do not get better with time.

No cigar lovers out there???????

I love a nice Maduro!

[blackrhino12]

I vote for Randall Knives.

I do have one Chris Reeves. One of 5 like it he ever made.

[StanGMT]

I echo the Aston Martin (DB6). But how about a very fine, very rare, very old, very smooth, very expensive single malt? (Not both at the same time)!

And add an old Fender Stratocaster for good measure!
