Things I want, like, now.

Several weeks back a Fisker Karma passed my lugged steel bicycle in the opposite direction. The street became a timeline and I was the one headed for the future.

Been saving my pennies on this one for a couple years, and on hold until we move to wherever The Boss lands for grad school, but this needs to be in my life asap:

I fully support this. I have a 70's Selig (or Plycraft) version that is nowhere near as high quality as a Herman Miller model for sure - but is still really comfortable and my favorite chair to lounge in. I've wanted an "authorized" reproduction for awhile now. A friend has a real rosewood model but needs new cushions. I'm hoping I'm in his will for that or at least will be notified before he tosses it on the curb.

I was at an exotic car shop today and they had a Fisker Karma. It went from being the future to being a curiosity in 9 months. It would be a great candidate for an LS transplant. Have I heard that this is in the works?

I've seen a few (or maybe the same one) around boston.

I am a big eames geek with an unfortunate lacking of money. I do now have 3 though. 1 is a new basic shell, with the eifel base, 1 was a basic school chair with the stacking base (pulled from an old school) and I recently got one with arms on an aluminum group base and black upholstery. I would love to own a lounge someday, but what I really want right now is a Saarinen womb, with the original black/white fabric, such as the one in the Gropius house:



On a side note, Herman Miller is back to producing fiberglass Eames shells...

Our office building has the Saarinen womb chairs in the waiting area. Ridiculously comfortable. Have to be careful not to totally crash out in a nap.

This too is on my wish list. I just had a chance to sit in one at the Room and Board store in DC. It was THE most comfortable chair in the entire store.

Right now? These:

unfortunately my truck just hit 150k last night and is still going strong :(

I have a 670/671 in Rosewood Palisander. It's a nice chair for sure. Nice to read in. Also good for piling jerseys on after laundry day.

My canoe was stolen last fall, thinking this could replace it.

Sorry to hear about the theft. If you can find a Vermont Canoes Tupper, I highly recommend it.

It depends on your use, but I have an Old Town Camper and wouldn't want another one. They're flexy, flat-bottomed, and slow. Sort of like paddling a narrow jon boat.

For general rec use, I'd look toward something like a Wenonah Spirit: Wenonah Canoe :: Spirit II

I'm in love with this chair, but I don't have money to buy it neither room to place it. I imagine myself a lot of times sitting on in listening to my vynils...

On my radar. I know...but when you have 4 kiddos and they are all in car seats...vehicles like this grab your attention. It gets better MPGs than the wife's Odyssey. Not that I would dump her Ody, but I am considering it for me. Very Euro'ish minus the diesel option (figures). Reminds me of the old VW Eurovans. I always liked those things. Imagine all the bikes that would fit on top and off the receiver of the this thing. I for one dig it. My local Ford dealer has one with the Titanium package and some of the other options I would want. I think we will go touch and feel one this weekend.

Seems like the perfect rig for driving the Florida crew to Ballers 2015.

^^^^^That is the sort of thing we are looking at. Unfortunately Ford don't/won't sell that model in Australia so we are stuck with a choice between teh Hyundai iMax, Kia Grande Carnival or a VW. VW wins except for price, Kia wins except for access to third row and out right cargo cap. Hyundai wins on price, access and cargo but not fit and options or looks. It's a forgone conclusion but I don't like it.

What I want right now? My torch setup so I can build these bloody frames. Taking to long.

There is a big time car collector down road from us. He has one and it maybe this one. I seen in person on the road.... And it's awesome and I want it.
