My Honda 70 three-wheeler. I practically lived on that thing as a youngster with no neighbors & 80 acres of forestland and trails to explore.


I had a giant basket of hotwheels cars, little toy men, and related toys (green army men, cowboys & indians, etc). Probably a couple of hundred little men & cars at any given time. I spent countless hours playing with those things.


It wasnt a Pepsi/Honda 3 wheeler was it? My uncle had a grocery store & Pepsi gave him two 3 wheelers. He gave them to my dad. My brother and I wore those things out.
I'm pretty sure this 1984 Honda 70 is the same model I had

I'm assuming the OP was referring to material things and not stuff like loved ones, pets, or abstract stuff.can't think of many things that I would want back from my youth.


I still have my first truck (it's seen better days) and most of my sentimental stuff is still with me in storage. Hell I think I still have my collect of POGS somewhere. My parents weren't ones to buy the viral toy or bandwagon thing. I got a NES when it first came out but didn't get another gaming system till after college. I begged my parents to buy me the Larry Johnson Converse Aerojam sneakers in the hornets home colorway (The Grandmamas) and they said nope.

If I had to choose:
1. One of my Ocean Pacific Hypercolor tshirts
2. The original pair of heelys.

The Hypercolor shirt just next it was plain cool and I felt cool when I would wear it to school in elementary.

The heelys i bought with my own money I had saved up from working my job at my local Boy Scout supply shop. I bought the first editions as soon as they came out. I think I quite possibly introduced heelys to a load of Brits when I took them to London the summer after I got them. My dad has video of me chasing after the pigeons in Trafalgar square with them on while people looked on in utter astonishment. I also wore them down the Royal Mile in Edinburgh and almost crashed out when I picked up too much speed.

The great thing about being an adult with DINK money and a badass successful wife is that I can now buy all of these things. I recently started buying shoes I always wanted but my parents couldn't afford. Those Aerojams though are still elusive, my holy grails.

Two things that immediately come to mind that we had.

- Jon boat with a 5hp Mercury
- 1953 Willys Jeep


I spent tons of hours in both of those. I was probably 9-10 when my grandfather would let me take that Old army surplus Jeep out driving by myself wherever I wanted to go. Times were different way back then.

- My 1972 Olds 442 with the 455 engine. Driving down a highway with my CB radio and hat, felt like I was in a Smokey and the Bandit movie.
- My old Winchester 30-30 lever action rifle. To this day I regret having sold it to a neighbor rancher's son back in the 1970's.

Lego's.

My mom gave them to the neighbors kid when I went off to college. Would leave to have them for my kids when growing up.

My N64 and all my games.

My brother took it to college with him (even though most of the games were mine) because I had a Gamecube so my parents said he should be able to take the N64.

It promptly got stolen from his apartment, along with all my games. Still raw about it.

Also, my CD binder from my high school car, full of all the CD's I'd collected my whole life. Car got stolen off the school campus.

Didn't give a rat's ass about the car. Was heartbroken for the CD's.

I watch my young kids and their imaginations and I often wonder at what point mine disappeared.
This for sure. Doing everything to keep those imaginations flourishing until they inevitability hit the teen years is important.

The 30-30 Winchester my grandpa gave me as a kid. (When I was in college it was at my grandmother's house and it was broken into while she was out of town and was stolen along with my bow fishing bow and a 30.06).

I used to have a really cool baseball pinball machine my dad had restored.

My Dyno Comp ii. I'd ride the S out of it. My parents had it for years in storage. I gave my blessing 20 years or so ago to get rid of it. So stupid. These things in this condition are worth thousands today. Edit: The photo isn't my bike, but it was identical and in near mint shape since I really only road it for transortation as an 11 year old.



The other, which I can actually get now, would be my Kyosho Ultima RC buggy. Kyosho has re-released their 'classics' made with modern materials so I can still scratch that itch.

After I went to college, my mom gave away my NES and Sega consoles and all my games. She gave it to another kid, but still. I wish I had those back.

Still have my N64 though...
