If I gave you $1,000..

[bigsharn]

I'd get this

Or: a full-face downhill helmet, a body armour vest and a
handlebar mounted video recorder, with the Super Grow-ped scooter or the Kickbike Millenium Racer


OR
A Nikon D300s with 3 year warranty (I'd sell my D90 with a lens and get $450 for it to fund the rest + a new lens )
