get yourself a boat!

from yachtcrew-cv.com:
Quote: Paul Allen's Octopus
In 2003, the launch of Paul Allen's 127m (416ft) "Octopus" secured its number one position as the world's largest yacht.
Microsoft's "accidental billionaire" Paul Allen - worth US$20 billion according to Forbes, the third richest man in America and 7th in the world - owns two other monsters yachts such as Tatoosh ranked 3rd in the World in 2003.
Octopus cost Allen over US$200 million and has Permanent crew of 60, including several former Navy Seals.It has two helicopters, seven boats, a 10 man submarine and a remote controlled vehicle for crawling on the Ocean floor. The submarine has the capacity to sleep eight for up to two weeks underwater.
On average, owners must spend a minimum of 10 percent of the purchase price every year to keep these yachts in good working condition and cover crew salaries. Therefore âOctopusâ which cost Allen US$200 million requires a US$20 million annual budget.

I know enough about boats to know never to own one. ;)
As for Sprinter vans, I don't have any sort of need for one anymore due to my current domestic situation :rolleyes: so that is out.
What I do appear to need is:

the vanquish is nice, but it's a bit boorish... the db9 is a bit more refined, and with the drop-top, there's no limit to how many topless women you can stack inside.
