Several Ferraris, a couple of Lamborghinis, some Maseratis, a few Bentleys, a Lotus Evora, an Audi R8, AND a Lexus LFA all in the same place. I drooled everywhere. (Not really.)

I must agree with Evilshy. Mirror.

Probably have a few, this is what I can think of at the moment. 

I was a kid and was sat outside this one time, something exploded overheard and went screeching across the sky in a fireball. I don't know if it was a meteorite breaking up or some kind of failed experimental tech from a nearby military base but it was dramatic.

A total solar eclipse.  I say that knowing there's really no chance I'll ever see another one again.

Agreed. This is a very close second

Now that I think of it, a "blob"; a blob located 2.6 million light years away with my binoculars in a dark rural area. That was about as good as I was able to see Andromeda galaxy, but still thought it was cool.

 

For reference, the stars in Orion's Belt range from 1000-2000 light years from here.

It would either be the solar eclipse, or the time I went to Hawaii and we ATV up a mountain and could see another island. Both were pretty cool.

The most coolest thing? I have two in my mind that I have replaying in my head over times as it stuck to me. When I was visiting Vietnam in Saigon they were celebrating their 50th anniversary Independence Day. I saw group of military officers marching down the street. The booming sound of their boots against the concrete ground was the most empowering and astonishing thing I ever heard. The way they are in sync and how close I was at the sidewalk, made my heart beat, I truly felt so alive by what I witnessed. That was my first ever seeing a military parade. Even when it’s a rehearsal, it was more than I could have hoped for.

Another time  the same week, we were walking around the city. I was holding onto my country flag, I saw four military men just resting against the gate. The moment feels as though slow-motion as I raise my flag and wave at them. They all wave back to me with a smile. The small exchange left me happy and acknowledged without any words needed to be exchange. I have seen and met many people in the military. But there was something special about encountering the four. Maybe it was me feeling that I didn’t need to prove myself worthy or make a loud statement about what makes my heart feel alive. It was just a soft and quiet acknowledgment.

One of the coolest things in life was computers, without that, game consoles would not exist nor would smartphones.

And you most definitely would not have tv shows without it, because even the television uses computational circuits to work and that is especially true with todays smart TV's that use apps.

Sonic Rainboom from Rainbow Dash was cool. For some reason I am thinking of Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger song from Daft Punk when I think of Rainbow Dash's speedster abilities from MLP.

Kitana in MKX. Truly a wonderful character.

In my case, I got lucky and was able to film the coolest thing I've ever seen. She is a pure daughter of the Goddess, reality around her buckles while she's doing her thing;

I don't have one coolest thing.

Every concert I've ever been to. Lady Gaga's The Monster Ball was my very first concert and there was so much theatrics it was pretty cool. I've seen Lady Gaga live a lot and she always puts on a great show. Seeing KISS live with my dad was also awesome for all the pyro. Seeing NSP live was cool because I had VIP and they answered one of my questions during the preshow experience. Plus I had great seats and talked to some cool people. It was a small concert but it's the first one I been too where it felt like I was with a small community interacting with everyone vs seeing a big show with a bunch of strangers. That's a rare experience esp in Philly. They've built a cool fandom for themselves. I've never been to a show where I've had so many people make random convos with me. Plus I think the dude running the merch booth was hitting on me lol. Ghost and Amon Amarth were awesome because I had the meet and greet with Amon Amarth and great seats. Nothing beats a cool metal show. Madonna was a blast. Saw Katy Perry back during her teenage dream area that was fun. Selena Gomez was a fun show. Saw her during the Stars Dance tour. I know I'm forgetting some artists. 

I'm more interested in seeing smaller acts in smaller venues these days like what NSP was/is but still. I've seen a lot a cool shows over the years. 

The wrestling events I've been to have also been very awesome.
