One look at my winter beater and you'd swear I just got back from Bonneville. Can barely see out the side windows because of the salt on it.

I had to look it up on a map. Wow, WAY too far for me (cause I'd have to drive there as opposed to flying out and renting a Toyota).

Two of the things on my bucket list would be to some day be standing on Young St as the Stanley Cup is paraded by accompinied by a banner proclaming Toronto Maple Leafs Stanley Cup Champions 20--, The other would be to someday actually be able to vote FOR a politican or political party insted of voting AGAINST them after they have lied to us yet again.

I set my goals/dreams high, but quite appreciative to settle for a lot less. It's a fact of life, I'm used to it. We all have dreams, get all you can, make the best of it.
I have an endless bucket list, once I've achieve one goal, I shoot for something higher.
I get shot down, more than I would like to admit, but the dreams never die, however minimal they may seem to others.

I have owned 70+ cars, trucks,bikes, and done some really uber cool car guy stuff.

I have travelled some and enjoyed the sites. Met the woman of my dreams.

My bucket list would be to start a foundation to help those sick like me and my alma matter would be that my boy carry on my legacy and that he lives his dreams.

Really. Not much else matters.

JohnnyBgood · ST CATHARINES, ONT

Holly crap ghostPost..still waters run deep eh...youv'e done some cool things and the foundation idea sounds great... but like most men..im very shallow...im sticking with Christy..unless Gazoo gets me in trouble first...

you can put my name on the list for donations

jarvis1 · COBBLE HILL, BC

I have driven around USA. Also diagonally, Detroit to LA. Across #10 to Florida. Down to the Keys. Across #50 to Oregon. But not all in one trip. Over 30 years.
Now I would like to drive as far north as I can. Invik or Tuktoyatuk or somewhere close.
I've been on two Alaka cruises. Not much to see there. I was paid to go on the cruise ships.
I think travelling is one of the best things you can do.

Flatduck · ONTARIO

Not for even a second , would I even believe, that I'd be the "first" to get you in trouble. But I'd certainly give it a shot, lol.

That's my dream too !! Travel the US. I'd love to get a smaller motor home and start in Chicago at the beginning of route 66. My goal would be to keep off of interstates if at all possible.

My bucket list has a few checkmarks against it, from driving a hot rod down route 66, to attending the LA roadster show......3 times so far......... going almost 200 mph in a dragster, and 180 in a Nascar at Daytona. We have driven across the salt at Bonneville, still want to go when the races are on.
I have a few items left.................driving my Deuce down the coast highway from San Francisco to San Diego, flying across the countryside in a hot air balloon, building a hot rod with my grandson when he is old enough...........and the list grows every time I sit and think about it..............the dream is what keeps us going while life is passing by............

The movie the "Bucket List" is one of my favourites. I can relate.
Highly recommend it if you haven't seen it.

el toro · LONDON, ONT

Was diagnosed with cancer in 08' and after the scary bit I made a long bucket list but as time went on it became less and less important. I bot a 65' el camino and started lawn chair racin' but not enough so started racing again. My son got the bug and now we're spending quality time together building and racing and that's worth more to me at this point than a list of stuff I never would have done anyway.

HI BLACKRAT : You mentioned Gary Weldon -- I believe Don Nicholls was involved with Gary as well -- Don and I go back a bit with " Ontario Inliners " -- LATER -- DON

Couple things...cross-Canada tour with my 58 Impala when I finally finish it, then the entire Route 66. And I want to build a car with my Grandson when he gets old enough.

Nice looking truck the problem with a camper on the back,is if you want to stay for a couple of days in one spot you have to packup ,if you want to go on a daytrip ,with a trailer you just unhook and go....I miss my old f47..

hotrod-steve · PORT ROWAN, ONT

There are advantages and disadvantages both ways. This truck seems to steer and ride better with some weight on. Still has the original straight axle with parallel leafs (&disc brakes). Could be a handful with a cross wind though. One thing for sure-theres no falling asleep at the wheel! Nice F100,BTW.

BAJ · BRANTFORD, ONT

I'm going to start fulfilling my list with building a soapbox with my Grandson this summer. I'm thinking of blending a model T with a sprint car rear. After this, the usual....LA Roadster show, Bonneville, etc.

31 Blackrat · WATERDOWN, ONT

BAJ your going to have to park in vistor parking , me too...

31 Blackrat · WATERDOWN, ONT

Steve original steering box with a stabiliser helps but ya falling asleep is not an option..

31 Blackrat · WATERDOWN, ONT

Davey ,I hope there not your daughters if they are, good genes,good on you.Hope have a shotgun..
