Yeah, I would have to say "Unlimited funds".

There's nothing wrong with my life at the moment that £100m couldn't fix.

...which would lead directly to everyone in the world being a pauper within months, if not weeks. It would make Wiemar Germany look like the picture of economic health. Can you say "runaway inflation"?

Sher. Knew ya could.

Even Mister Rogers knew more about economics than that.
:rolleyes:

3,000,000,000,000 DM = 1$

Those were the days!
 
My gut instinct is to say HKS or veilside GTR....but I wouldnt be able to afford the gas or insurance....I could go for money but money isn't everything.....I want everything I ever want... I could be sitting on my couch and decide that I want a skyline....all of a sudden i get a few calls...OMG its Nissan telling me they want me to design the next GTR...hang up...next call is HKS telling me I won a 1600 HP GTR....then its the feul companies saying I get free race gas for life delived to me anywhere in the world...then the police...no speed limit for me..and the insurance company saying i don't have to pay! Not only do I never need money but I can have ANY chick in the world! WOO HOO!...if that backfires I could wish for mind controll and still get all that stuff.

Better yet, I could just make them line up for hand outs. Whomever I happen to pity the most that day will get preferential treatment. The rest will have to lobby me for a bigger budget until my opinion changes, like the weather.

Every time somebody complained about something I'd make a law forbidding it. Eventually, nobody would be able to so much as take a crap without filing for a permit. Excelent.

Yeah.... King of the World.

I frankly don't know what i'd ask for... Money doesn't necessarily bring you happiness (though it helps), world peace sounds cheesy and un-obtainable, and everything else is just obsolete...

Maybe i'd ask for the ability to travel back and forth in time, to change decisions that i made that were harmful to myself or to other people i know, and then come back, live, and see what has happened, a bit like the time machine episode of the Simpsons... :lol:
 
Unlimited funds would be really nice.

I'd also like to be able to start my life over again when I'm older and about to die, keeping all of the knowledge I gained throughout my life. It might be a lot easier the second time through then.

Yeah, I probably shouldn't be too greedy as well, I won't take a Gibson Les Paul or anything.

This one would suit me just fine :

Wait, you cam have anything in the world and you'd take a Squire? Come on, you can do better than that.
 
Just to have at least one present this christmas, because some of us don't even get love :( . Ok screw that. I'd like to exchange funds with Bill Gates and use the money to propel Linux to world domination. Mwahahahahahahahahaha :trouble:
 
I million dollars canadian that's Approximately 1.25$ American.
No, I really want a swimming pool full of quarters.
 
I would like to win the World Poker Tour, then laugh in everyone's face as I tear up the check...year after year. :p

Of course that is just this minute's wish...ask me later and it will definitely be different.
 
I'd like a dump truck full of $100 bills with a squad of Navy Seals to protect it (and not some sissy little dump truck, one of those huge dump trucks the size of houses they have on mining sites). With the money, I would buy a penthouse apartment in downtown Manhattan and buy land somewhere in the country. I would then build a personal race track on that land and acquire a personal collection of performance cars including the Blitz Skyline, an original Shelby Cobra, a Ferrari Enzo, an Evo 6 Rally Car, and many others.

And I almost forgot, an F-14D Tomcat :D
 
Well...
a) 2 Million Canadian..
All of it being invested into a savings account. It'll grow... hehe... As I'm only 14.... 15 in a few weeks
or..
b) World Peace (and I really DO mean it.)
 
1 billion dollars muwahh muwahh.

Seriesly 1 billion dollars you could live off the intrest alone. and you could set up trust funds for heaps of charity.

Well yeah, I didn't really ask for a guitar, I asked for some cash to get the guitar. :p

Oh well, since you asked me.. I think I'll get one of these then :

Voodoo-Les-Paul-large.jpg


It's costs 1500 €, and convert that to my country's currency and it costs RM 9000, which is an astronomical figure for an electric guitar. But well, you get what you pay for! :)
 
Interesting that no-one has said anything like "To be married to xxx xxx", where xxx xxx is your favourite honey/movie star/model

I would wish for the world system to work exactly the way I think it should. Objectivist "rational self interest" - believe me, there's plenty of room for freedom and individuality in that system. Way more room than there is now in some ways.

Failing that, I think I'm with Gil. I could scrape by with as little as a million, but $3m would be nice and comfortable.

^--- Well, that's exactly what I was thinking... either a perfect Objectivist Utopia (I guess that's how I'd describe it), or barring that, 3 million bucks to live a comfortable life without too much of a chance of running out.

Wishing for a lot of food would be nice too. I like food.
 
I like Giles' thought about unlimited funds. Could do a lot with that. :D

Or wish that all of my future children become very succesful and lead happy, honest lives.

Sage, I wanna meet your parents. ;)

but with heaps of $$$, you can/could pick almost any chick!:D
 
I would wish for 1 million wishes. That way, if anything ever bugs me again, I could wish it away. Like the idiot today in traffic, with the 83 Ford Topaz, driving 25 in a 35 during heavy traffic. I wish he would go to hell, but after I get my million wishes first.

:D
 
i wish to become the world best skateboarder. show up the likes of tony hawk, bam magera, bucky lasek and most importantly MY FRIENDS WHO ARE BETTER THAN ME

A space ship that could travel the universe.

Why pay for sex when it's more fun to earn it the right way?

I'm with under18carbon. I'm perfectly happy with what I have now. A few million bucks would just give us more free time...
 
I'm happy. But "perfectly" happy? No. There is always room for improvement. With millions of dollars I'd build a house (witha big garage) and a comfortable cabin somewhere in the wilderness, and get a couple cars right off the bat. In fact I'd have a new car the same day. That would be the first thing I'd do.

"What's that? I've won money? See you later, I have to go to the Porche dealer."
 
You guys are all into cash and material objects. What about the stuff money can't buy? Like super powers or visiting places you'll never get to see or bringing back lost friends and family?

I'd like to be able to teleport myself whenever I wished. I want to walk on the Moon, and Mars ... and live in the Sci-Fi world of Star Trek (Next Generation). I want to have dinner with a few dead celebrities.

Money ... I don't have money problems as it is now. Like Neon Duke said, more money just gives me more free time. I have plenty of both as it is.
