Of its cars then it has to be my chick magnet. These were rare when new, so a 19yr old with a 5 yr old one was unheard of.
Renault Fuego 2.0 GLX. Scored more times with that car than any other. Miss that kinda thing too. But I wouldn't spend a day without SWMBO. Or Mrs M as she calls herself. ,
OMG, someone actually BOUGHT those? My Dad worked at AMC, and later under the Renault badge. I was looking at the Fuego as my first "new" car purchase. Shied away from it based on cost (even with Dad's discount).
Did you buy that 1954 Nash Metropolitan convertible from Noel Neil when she played Lois Lane?
Great pinup model!
I can picture her right now when they traveled back in time and she was wearing animal skins.
Short dress.
Amen. A '71 Chevelle. In '81. I was young and dumb. And full of youthful ignorance.

Both of those bikes* I later regretted selling. However … life moves on and now I'm happy to ride e-bikes. More exercise and age-appropriate speeds

I bought it out of a back yard that had 6 metros in it. Only one was a convertable. As I recall it was somewhere around $150.00 (yes, it did run)
My son tells me he will buy me an e-bike.R75/5

Lol, I don't think he trusts my judgement on motorcycles anymore!
Amen.
The majority of my waking hours in the best years of my life.

A had an older Kawasaki Ninja 250 I ended up selling after I laid it down. It was incredibly underpowered (for American roads, much of the world will move a family of 5 on a scooter with half the displacement) and I consistently ran into the problems associated with a big guy on a little bike. But there's a lot to be said about a bike that weighs 350 pounds, didn't red line until 14k, and near telepathic handling.
For the guitar players here, I had an old pre Japanese Silvertone. I could pluck a string, go make a sandwich, eat that sandwich, wash and dry the dishes, grab a glass of water, then go back and listen to the end of the note. I really really felt bad at buying it for $200 at a pawn shop. Felt even worse selling it at one hell of a profit.
And then there's the 1956 Winchester Model 12 in 16 gage. A better gun I have never owned, and I've had quite a few come through my safe. She was an old walnut and blued steel, slam fired, bird, duck, and squirrel slaying machine (that's to say the gun shot better than I did).

You did well then. It drank fuel like no tomorrow, especially how I drove it. Mind when your mates were driving cars like this ford,
You can see why I got on well with the opposite sex, pulling up in this 'chick' magnet
I sold a new brush and bowl .. because I stopped using brushes .... now I make all the creams and hard soaps with my hand ...
I'm right there with ya Mick , EVERY car and bike I owned between 16 and 35 years old
I left off the bikes and the other 4 jags (1958 through 1961).... no point crying over sold milk.

A couple guns: 1897 Winchester and a Ruger Blackhawk. I don't know how many razors i have bought and sold, but the one that stands out was a no-notch Aristocrat. It shaved better than anything i have found or used in all the razors I have had. The cars and motorcycles I don't miss. The one thing I will never part with is a Trek 2200 ZR road bike. It's the last American made Trek and rides as good as a full carbon fiber frame.
na no never. At least so far.
