    Something you WANT..CAN afford...but CAN't justify?

    A convertible or toy car. While I have a coupla grand in the bank...tough to justify a third car on a ski bum budget.

    I didn't believe in reincarnation when I was your age either.

    Not sure why, but I thought this might be about the new Mustang Ranch.

    You could donate your old computer to a 501 c 3 non profit that is trying to get a A.V. club going for young shredders in an after school program. You would feel real good about yourself and would be stoked on the stoke they will be putting out...
    Or get more skis, can't go wrong with more skis.

    Too much to list.

    Skis, flyrods, fly reels, woodworking tools, stereo for the car, bikes, cars, etc. Life is full of choices, including financial choices.

    Not necessarily this, but a nice dual sport bike. Although I wouldn't turn this down if I found it in my garage.

    I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...

    Tough to justify , living in FL. Amazingly, lots of places to use it though.

    Time. I could quit and take a year or more off right now, but can't seem to get a few weeks away to clear the head. Might have to fake a breakdown or medical issue.

    The GS 800 is the bike I have been debating getting. I sold my completely impractable sport bike a couple of years ago and decided a smaller dual sport was the thing. Buddies have the big BMWs, but they are too much pavement/gravel road and not dirt capable enough for me. A cheap KLR would probably suffice for Colorado/Utah touring

    Any of the $2k DSLR bodies (D600, 6D, 5D2, etc).... I just can't justify carring $2500+ worth of gear on my back (with lens) when I'm skiing or biking. One wrong move and it could be gone like that- the thought frightens me.
