My '68 TR250 convertible - my first car and the beginning of my love affair with sports cars. I recently considered reverting back to my youth and trading in my SUV for a sports car, but then I drove my son's Nisaan 240Z and found I couldn't get in and out of it without a lot of creaks and groans. Guess the golf cart will have to suffice - at least I can feel the wind in my hair!

My collection of hundreds and hundreds of Marvel Comic books that my mother let a backstabbing cousin of mine take when I was deployed in Viet Nam. She thought I wouldn't be interested in such "kid stuff" any more. My cousin, a fellow comic book collector, who knew the value of my collection and my love of them, took them anyway. I was informed of all this after many years, as no one had the backbone to tell me. It was too late to recover my property at that point as my cousin was deceased for some years.

I own that exact same bike. Color, year, nav, abs. It is a great ride. If you ever want to come over to pet it let me know, I live in Buttonwood.

I owned a '64 Mustang. Put 135,000 miles on it before selling it. I sold it in '75 to buy a commercial lawnmower to feed the family.

My 1969 Dodge Super Bee. Had to trade it in 1973 when the gas shortage took effect. I had 2 gas guzzlers at the time and one had to go.

I wish I still had my '73 VW Thing. It didn't have any creature comforts but it sure was fun to drive, especially with the top down and the doors removed.

I still daydream about my 57' Ford convertible, red with a white top.

That was my first car also. I remember I could wind first gear all the way up to about 7 mph. Fully floored petal to the metal it would do 84mph.

I sure wished I hadn't thrown out my baseball cards. Mickey Mantle rookie card could have been sold for a $100,000. A Honus Wagner card was sold for a cool million bucks, (not that I had one).

Who knew???

I lost a collection of CD's of the great saloon singers, (Frank Sinatra with Tommy Dorsey, Tony Bennett, Billy Eckstein, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, etc), that I really liked. Hopefully, I can replace them when I know where to find them. There used to be a flea market in Hartford CT that I bought most of them but I can't remember the name.

Senior Moment - I'll never forget what's its name.
