for D3??? ?
Check out these Home Theater.... I took this posting from another forums, I'm on...
1. indiana jones cinema
this amazing indy-themed room was designed by home theatre expert doug charrois for larry and colleen halliday in canada. the room even features ‘replicas of the holy grail, a jacket, hat, whips, torches and more—including the idol from the opening of the original movie’.
more info here.
2. the batcave
more info here.
3. the enterprise ncc-1701d cinema
based on starship enterprise ncc-1701d, this stunner consists of a cinema, bar area and apparently ‘one of the largest kaleidoscope hard-drive based storage systems (..) in a residential installation. at last count, there were eight servers with 3,816 dvds’. there’s even a red alert button which brings on red flashing lights and appropriately tense music. more info here.
4. the bridge
trekkie gary reighn decided to cut out the middle man and design & build his home cinema himself on a relatively small budget of $15′000. his basement was cleared to make way for the creation and from start to finish took 2 years.
5. evergreen ultimate theater
apparently ‘one of the most technically and structurally advanced private theaters in the united states’, this phenomenal star trek home cinema even contains motorised sliding doors, as requested by the unbelievably rich client who paid around $3′000′000 in total for the transformation.
more info here.
6. titanic
the ceiling dome in this titanic themed set-up contains 1′230 fiber optic light strands in order to provide the artificial night sky and entry to the luxurious bar next door can be found behind a motorised bookcase. the whole project was designed by donny hackett of ‘casa cinema design’.
7. the death star
it doesn’t get much cooler than this. the 10-seat death star home cinema was designed for vic wertz and lisa stevens and includes, amongst other things: automatic doors, a twinkling fiber optic star field and a thx sound system. the best fact? the room was designed by doug chiang, lead designer on episodes I & II.
more info here and here:
8. the nautilus
this beauty was built as a result of film geek randy moran’s love of the nautilus submarine from the film 20′000 leagues under the sea. he hired ‘dillon works inc’ to build and fabricate all the trusses, wall panels, screen frames, and portholes and ‘acoustic innovations’ to supply the plush red seating.
more info here.
9. the pirate cove
the pirate cove was created as a result of avs forum user pkonold’s love of the pirates of the carribean disney ride and movies. to make the atmosphere as authentic as possible he and his wife ensured that when seated ‘you feel like you are floating down “the bayou” at night. to accomplish this we have built a star field in the ceiling, complete with real constellations and shooting stars!’.
more info here.
10. the sci-fi cinema
ok, so the screen isn’t the biggest and the seats are slightly lacking but inside dr. david winn’s home cinema can be found: a hydraulic alien bursting through the wall, a talking robbie the robot and both the predator and the creature from the black lagoon behind bars. the cinema, including all collectibles, cost approximately $100′000.
more info here.

im thinking about getting into an e30 or a gc8 as a replacement daily driver. and also a bike. but i can't keep so many vehicles around, so one has to go. and that's gonna be the fit, which will pay for my new toys at the same time.
i'll miss the utility of the fit though.

The fit will be my first vehicle I ditch when it comes to that point as well. Just gonna drive the wheels off of it, part it back out before I sell/trade it. My other vehicles all serve intended purposes, and the insurance is much cheaper, and they are nicer rides. Can never ditch the accord or RR, or my old truck.
On a lighter side tho, saw this on jalopnik, makes me chuckle

Did anyone see that a lady missed the Air France flight that crashed into the ocean, and dies in her car days later, critically injuring her husband. That seems a lil too much like The Final Destination
