I shoulda kept my '83 RX7 - it was in perfect shape and I sold it for pocket change to some chump who probably crashed it.

I also just sold my surfboard, which is making me a bit uneasy.

Even the rusty ones.

If you had the space/money, finding them and selling/shipping them to Europe/Japan would be a great side business.

Sometimes I get a little bummed when I think about my Kona Stinky that I sold and squandered the money ever so quickly - I suspected I'd never again be able to scrape together enough money for another big bike (and it's held true for 3.5 years), but I seldom rode it and it was overkill for living in Michigan.

I still have "that bike" ('97 Kona Kilauea frame from the Kona scratch and dent pile, rides so nice) and "that guitar" (Fernandes Dragonfly given to me by my best friend from college and still favorite musical collaborator), although they're both pretty modest - hardly big ticket.

I miss a '78 Silverburst Les Paul Custom that was still in perfect condition after over 20 years of play.

I miss my #11 Titanium WTB Phoenix
These are some NOICE pieces here. I hope you had a good reason to sell the Phoenix.

The '58 was a 88' convertable, bone stock, even had electrics by satan.
The '68 was a lengthened chassis making it roughly a 130' four door pick-up, I think it's down in mexico on a ranch somewhere.
Those things can go for monopoly money to.

I had a '82 RX-7 back in '84. Fun car and the only Japanese car I've ever owned.
