If you had the money, what would you like to have? This is a thread for the random stuff you would like to buy, create, or own that you don't have the current means to do, especially the really far out stuff.
For the particular thought that spawned the creation of this thread, I would really love to have a re-creation of the Dora 31.5" Railway gun that would fire a shell packed with 4.6 tons of fireworks that would deploy in a cluster bomb like fashion from a height of about fifteen thousand feet, with altimeters activating different sets of fireworks at variable times as the mass descends to the ground. At a range of 30 miles, careful placement could provide fireworks demonstations for perhaps four or five major cities.

A very nice flat in Paris with a spectacular view of the Eiffel Tower.
specifically this one: http://www.paris-apartment-rent.com/studio/atelier_de_picasso.html

A soundproof room, a few new guitars, and a piano. Sometimes I have the urge to play music or sing in the small hours of the morning; the soundproofing would let me do that without subjecting anyone else to my racket.

@MU: AWESOME! I would love to have this one for my girlfriend since she loves Paris.

I'd invest in a cybernetics lab to make myself more machine than man, twisted and evil.
Edit: Also just noticed - Happy Birthday Crusader

BioDome. Hell yes I would build one and seal myself in it and it would be glorious.

I'd pay my house off, buy up the other however-many acres south of us from the folks down the road, and completely refurnish the kitchen. Viking six burner top? Hell yes.

Buy an awesome detached house. Also buy some land nearby and then build an underground bunker. I'd also reinforce the cellar of the house to make it bomb proof like the bunker, then have a fortified tunnel linking it to the bunker. Water filtration, air filtration, some sort of renewable energy source, hydroponics bay for food, maybe a supply of livestock. Complete self-sufficiency, just in case the shit hits the global fan.
A tunnel leading to a waterway would be awesome too! I'd have a kick-ass decent sized boat for any travelling/transport needed, or an awesome 4-wheel drive jeep like a landrover or shogun (my car knowledge is awful so apologies if these are poor choices) for land-travel.

Own my own road course with a bunch of hilly land. Rally roads ahoy!

Right now my fantasy doesn't extend much beyond not having to go into work tomorrow, or ever again. At least not at a crappy 9-5 anyway.

A lot like Peter's, in that I'd want to take a mess of cargo containers and drop them underground to create a whole other subterranean part of my house.
Also I'd want more land, a dual sport, and an offroad touring bike :)

Another thing would be a Zeppelin, but not just any Zeppelin of old. A fleet of four of them, named the Behemoth, Leviathan, Titanic, and Colossus. Each a mile long, by five hundred feet wide, by two hundred fifty feet tall, housing a thousand passengers, a runway on top, a hangar for the V.I.P. aircraft, and self defenses composed of some air to air missiles, gattling cannons, and about seventy two Annihilator UAVs (evolved version of the Reapers).
