6. I wish I had...

hung on to mine too. I didn't lose mine to rust, I lost it to 3 trees after coming off a dry winter road onto an icy side road. I wasn't going that fast, but "wide ovals" (remember them?) didn't grab well on ice and snow. I had just removed the snow tires (I lived in western New York) and snows were a must in the winter. 1970 Hemi 'Cuda replaced the Duster, and do you know what that car would be worth today? They only made about 650 of them, and I'd sure like to have that in my garage right now. I was never one to amass "things" though, and I sold it in 1977 when I got married. Dumbest move I ever made. The marriage didn't last, but the car is still going strong (the same guy who bought it from me still has it. Lucky stiff!).

Ahhhhh, the "gear head" days. There have been many cars since then, but those two are the only ones that still stick out in my mind.
