1963 Ferrari 250GT Lusso
Clutch problems on his three 250s inspired tractor manufacturer Ferruccio Lamborghini to build a "better sports car".
The Many Faces of Steve McQueen
When you are inherently cool, you are cool everywhere and all the time. Such is McQueen.
Robert Montgomery
"If you are lucky enough to be a success, by all means enjoy the applause and the adulation of the public. But never, never believe it."
Lotus Exos Type 125
For $1 Million (+ fees) Lotus will provide you the car, the training and a series of races throughout Europe to test your metal.
Robinson Personal Helicopters
Why should T.C. have all the fun? Robinson can provide the equipment and training that you'll need to own the skies.
Segway EN-V Personal Transport

George Carlin (RIP)
"The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live."
The Best Cigarette by Billy Collins
There are many that I miss
having sent my last one out a car window
sparking along the road one night, years ago.
The heralded one, of course:
after sex, the two glowing tips
now the lights of a single ship;
at the end of a long dinner
with more wine to come
and a smoke ring coasting into the chandelier;
or on a white beach,
holding one with fingers still wet from a swim.

Polaroid
This iconic photographic art form seemed to be nearing obsoleteness, but is enjoying a nostalgic resurgence. Try documenting an excursion with one of these extremely affordable cameras that provide (almost) instant gratification with character. Don't settle for the App that replicates when you can just as easily enjoy the real thing.
The Manhattan Project
The A-Bomb: Man's greatest yet most regrettable invention. If ever a Pandora's box existed, "the bomb's"capacity for keeping peace -only out weighed by its ability to be the most probable vehicle of global annihilation- makes it a most likely candidate.
Albert Einstein expresses his greatest regret: "Had I known that the Germans would not succeed in developing an atomic bomb, I would have done nothing."
And that was even before the problem of global proliferation had truly presented itself.
