    If You Could Get One Frivolous Thing Free of Charge for Life, What Would It Be?

    This isn't about groceries, house or car payments, utilities (internet included), health insurance, or anything like that. If you could choose one thing, and one thing only, that you could acquire, consume, accumulate, etc. free of charge for the rest of your life, what would it be?

    I think I'd have to go with books. This'll sound boring to some, but I spend an absurd amount of time fantasizing about walking into a bookstore with a blank check from an unlimited account. The thought of buying a new book any time I want thrills me to no end.

    9 millimeter ammo. 20,000 rounds per year please.

      Ammunition crossed my mind. I knew it'd be at least one person's choice. It's a good one.

        It is an absurd luxury expense of mine that I simultaneously seek to minimize (the expense) and expand (the amount of the commodity). 20K is what I want to and could conceivably shoot if I could afford to.

            I am going to choose ammo as well. All the 40 sw and 5.56/.223 I could handle.

              Cooooool idea for a thread!

              One frivolous item at any "rate" or amount that I choose over which any duration imaginable?

              I love to shoot guns, truly do. But at the moment I would have to go with parts needed to "immortalize" a C7 . Or a just new one any time I wish.

                Land Cruiser parts/restoration materials would be high on my list.

                  Ha! I didn't know multiple calibers were an option.

                      Extremism is so easy. You've got your position, and that's it. It doesn't take much thought. And when you go far enough to the right you meet the same idiots coming around from the left.

                        Books ain't as boring as it sounds. I constantly challenge myself to go outside of my comfort zone IRT books, but they can be expensive lol. But all said and done, I'd have to say a new Corvette every year.
