Deja Vu All Over Again

My 1955 Chevy Nomad station wagon. If I had it today I could enjoy driving it or sell it for 100 times what I paid.

(Nobody said the answer had to be audio gear).

Telling your mom that you don't need all those shoe boxes full of baseball cards that you had from the 50's.:-(

I'm there Albert. My '63 3.8 XKE Coupe. In "arrest me red", an orange variant. Twas the only car I ever had that actually growled like a big cat. It leaked every fluid it hoped to contain and used a quart of oil every 100 miles. But running or standing still, it had a beauty I'll never find again.

Okay, as long as we're going into the vehicle area, I could really croak, when I think about the 1973 Ducati 750 SS motorcycle that I GAVE away to my buddy when I moved out of Florida. One of only 200 made. It is over $20,000 today. Considered one of the most desireable classic motorcycles in the world. aaaarrrrgggghhhhh! GAVE IT AWAY!

I see this thread has taken a twist, so I may as well chime in. For me it was my '67 Z28 Camaro, white with black stripes (one of about 500 made). Man that thing ran great and was a blast to drive and bang the Hurst/Muncie 4-speed all over town. Like a fool I sold it at about 100,000 miles because I thought it would depreciate in value after that. Man, was I wrong about that one!

But to make up for that blunder, I just bought a '95 Integra GSR with about 115,000 miles on it. I got it from a friend who is also an audiophile and it has a killer stereo system in it with 4, 8" Scanspeak Kevlar woofers, and Morel tweeters in the door panels. It's not quite as fast as the old Z28, but it handles great, has a 5-speed smooth as butter with a carbon-fiber shift knob, and the sound system is much, much better. Cost me about the same as my reference speakers. :)
