I have found as I age that I long for more and more crap I had back in the day. And it seems like all my favorite crap is now high dollar crap.
For instance, I had an 85 Big red three wheeler. I found one two years ago and had it shipped from Michigan, as it had the original tires and was in very nice condition. Paid way less than what they are bringing now, I have seen quite a few STARTING at 2500 on Ebay, and they don't even come close to mine.
A 1984 Honda XL80S motorcycle. I rode the hell out of mine (I was a spoiled ass brat with the motorcycle and full size three wheeler lol) and wouldn't mind finding one in the same condition as my Big Red. Problem is, I don't see one single one of these that even looks remotely good for sale. Guess everyone beat the piss out of em just like I did.
An M6 Speingfield Scout rifle/shotgun. Ok, I didn't have one, but my friend did. Coolest thing ever, .22LR over .410 with the ammo stored in the stock under a folding plate. Now these bastards are selling for 700 bucks and up. I should have stoleN his..
My dog. I would go all Pet Sematary to have him back...Churrrch....
1986 Ford Ranger STX crew cab 4 wheel drive, two tone beige and...*gulp*...red...
This truck was just awesome. Like a mini Ford Raptor back in the day. Had push button 4 wheel drive, comfortable seats, stood tall on a factory lift....I got this truck as my second car when my parents and I agreed I needed 4 wheel drive. They bought it on the cheap from a family friend, and again, don't see any of that particular year and color scheme, and not to mention set up online anywhere. It really was a cool looking truck. Sort of anemic with the 2.9 V6, but that was fine by me back then.
I could go on...found some photos today and a box of junk I kept over the years. Getting old sux. Honestly, if I could have back the family members that are gone now I would take that over any of the crap on this list.
