That and a decent record (yes, record) player.

I had a black TR-3A with a white removable hard top when I was in college.

OMG! Chemin De Fers!!!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanted those sooo bad when iw as a pre teen and i swear i begged and begged and begged and i still didn't get those.

I had that exact multi-color rabbit fur!!!! I was the only girl in my class who had one and a couple of the boys thought it was fun to pull the fur out while I was wearing it. Those are back in style now, believe it or not and I have considered getting my daughter one for posterity.

My dad has had just about every kinna car a man can dream of...

He had:

This in 1970:

This is 1972...

This in 1980:

This in 1995:

And in 2000 he bought a black 1988:

And finally this in 2001:

He said I could have the '72 Volvo if I made all "A's" on my report card in the 3rd grade...

I never did...

But that's another story for a different day.

Anyhow, he wound up having to liquidate all his 1970's and 1980's vehicles because of a tax audit and lien... The IRS nailed his a$$et$...

In 1998 my dad gave my younger brother the 325i. My brother drove that chit into the ground, jackin up the engine somehow (don't ask--let's just say curbs get in my brother's way). AND my dad put the phat "Momo" rims on the car!!! :eek:

Besides, I can't really drive a stick without burning the clutch on these kinna cars... I speed shift anyways...

Oh and I always wanted a dog... But I got a "pet brother", fish, the occasionally lizards, skunks and possums that visited my house. And once a "rattlesnake"... But I never got a dog.

Mom said that when I was a baby, we had a dog. I dropped my rattle, the dog pounced on the rattle. That was the end of the dog...

Now, my husband is a vet. He won't let me have a little dog. Sez he's not that secure with his "manhood" to walk a toy poodle down the street... He also sez just 'cuz he's the resident vet doesn't mean he has to take care of the dog... Even though he can buy all the meds the dog would ever need... He doesn't want the dog to go "pee pee" on the carpet...

a puppy- but my mom hates dogs so that wouldn't have worked out, plus my parents were always saying that my sister and I would have never taken care of it, which may have been semi-true.

ThetaPrincess24 03-20-2004 04:37 PM

I wanted the Barbie Power Wheels Jeep thing.

AXO_MOM_3 03-22-2004 01:46 AM

I wanted a pony more than anything in the world! I could never understand why one could not live in our backyard - geez - it was already fenced in and dad would never have to mow the grass again!

I almost forgot about the Barbie camper. Never had it, always wanted it. My friend had it and I was very jealous.

I did have the Barbie loves McDonalds playset (the one which actually looked like a McDonalds restaurant with the hole in the roof so you could play in it), and the Barbie swimming pool, so I guess I wasn't too deprived there. :)
