Your girlfriend isn't expensive, only cost me ten dollars.

 

[Rip the Jacker]

Sat in one of my father's friend's Ferraris/Porsches.

 

[Kaervak]

SR-71 Blackbird while I was at the Wright Patterson Air Force Base a few years ago. Might not be the most expensive in terms of dollars, but it's way up there badassness.

 

[SamurAchzar]

Carrera GT somewhere down in San Francisco, also got to sit in a Black Hawk chopper.

So, without going for obviously expensive but not-so-unusual things like a/c carriers, skyscrapers, etc..... I would have to say...

hmm. one year at the LA auto show they had the only surviving 1906 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, insured at 40 million dollars.

I thought a modern US Aircraft carrier cashed in around 10Billion dollars. I'd go with aircraft carrier or vegas strip. I haven't seen something small and valuable though. I got to play a little on a 100,000 piano.

 

[slpaulson]

If we're talking single things, I'd have to go with a B-2 bomber.

Otherwise probably Chicago from above.

Edit: Actually I imagine a space shuttle is more, so whichever shuttle they have at the space museum at Cape Canaveral.

 

[uberman]

The jewels in Topkapi Palace in Istanbul, Turkey.

Larger things: The aircraft carrier Enterprise (NOT the Starship) as it was headed for me in the middle of San Francisco Bay, where I was dead in the water with a damaged fuel line. Someone gave me a tow into the harbor.

With the amount of YAGTs you start, you have no business taking a cheap shot at someone else's GF.

 

[PeeluckyDuckee]

You got ripped off man, she only asked for $5 from me. I was a gentleman though, and gave her $5.50.

 

[everman]

The collection of artifacts from Tut et al. that went on tour last year. I've also seen a large collection of Catherine The Great's jewels and other items. Paintings from Rembrant, Picasso, Van Gogh, etc. It's difficult to put a price on some of these things.

 

[cavemanmoron]

The sunrise, on a Free United States of America.

Very expensive in the cost of all the lives, lost fighting for our Freedom./ end thread.

Also, given his screen name, the transaction was probably in rupees

 

[Syringer]

Gas, as of a few months ago.

 

[Atlantean]

Probably the space shuttle... no idea how much money they are worth but I know its a lot. And the amount they keep spending to maintain the damn things is absurd.

 

[letdown427]

I live Here. Must be quite expensive.

(OK, in one of the apartments that the place was divided into, but that's besides the point... )

Small things, I've seen a Carrera GT, a McMerc SLR, and a Ford GT40 (same place, but different days, used to work at a track)

 

[UncleWai]

*me look down below*
Priceless.
*smirk*

 

[NanoStuff]

The earth from space. The whole thing must be worth like billions of dollars.
