Ever think about what year you would go back to if you could?

Any-when between 1965 and 1975,,,
We had the hottest cars, the best music, reliable birth control, and AIDS hadn't been invented yet!

With the knowledge I have now going back to 68 through 78 high school through college.

Naa, I take that back. I would rather be young and dumb and full of ***, just like I was.

1963, Buy about 50 old cars and store them in a barn
I've always wanted to go back to 1957 (I was 2yo the first time I was in 1957) and buy several hundred of the 1903 Springfields, .455 Webley's, and C96 Mauser pistols, and either bring them back to now, or stash them and pick them up now... In the 60's and 70's, I was reading my dad's stack of American Rifleman, and trying to figure out how to come up with the extravagant sum of $3.50 for a Webley revolver...

I'd also pick up a couple of copies of my favorite Jazz album. Taboo: The Exotic Sounds of Arthur Lyman. It was released that year. ;) My copy, which I got when I was 6, is pretty well worn out.

I pull this '72 out of the garage regularly to reminisce. I play only 60's music via iHeartRadio when cruzing.

Ordered one of these in early 1968. Ford Torino GT. Lived in San Mateo, CA at the time. 390 cu", 4-speed, 3.25 Gears, no power steering, no A/C, bench seats, AM radio, roll-up windows. Lost it in a divorce! :( Put 90000+ miles on it in 3 yrs.
I should have been visiting the local Gun Shop, where Colt SAAs, and New Frontiers were selling for less than $175!
