What should I have kept from the past?

Here's another question to waste bandwidth.

What object (toy, car, clothes, etc.) from your past do you wish you would have held onto?

I'm in a dither as to whether I should have kept my '67 Pontiac Firebird w/ a 326 and a Holly 4-Barrel, or my Micronauts. Or my black leather motorcycle jacket that I hand painted with Celtic knots.

Being that would have been a one-of-a-kind, you should've kept it.

(I think you meant to say 327, right?)

Mark, does that mean I should cherish this time in my life?

No, au contaire' mon petit, the '67 Firebird came with a 326 (said so with cute little red enameled numbers on the hood). While most people remember the 327 engine as an option on a lot of cars back then, the Firebird had several available engines, the 326 being one of them.

It also had a metallic gold vinyl interior, a translucent lucite steering wheel, and a hood tach, all factory options.

Here is a link to one with a 326.

Hmmm...

I wish I would have kept my original Star Wars Death Star with action figures. I wish I would have kept all of the action figures in their original packaging. I wish I would have kept my X-wing starfighter.

I wish I would have kept my light-bright.

"Here is a link to one with a 326."

Thanks, now I really want another one. Shoot, I wish I hadn't gotten rid of my '49 Dodge PowerWagon or my '52 Willys Jeep Station Wagon either. The wife says I can start again once we build a shop out back. Maybe before I'm 40!

"Atari 2600. Sold in and 30+ games to buy a new tv."

I think I still have one of those hiding somewhere (Adventure!)

"I stand corrected... "

As long as we stand united!

The great thing about having three boys is we get to play all day on my day off! I am a Lego maniac! Woo Woo!

Its kind of funny. When you check the window sticker on the web page, the "Push Button Radio" was a $61.09 option. My guess is that today if you could get a simple AM/FM push button radio, the price would be.....about $61. My barebones CD/AM/FM radio was only $90.
