My 39 YO big brother died back in 1999.
I have been carrying a small rock in my pocket everyday since with the inscription “peace” for the last 21 years and 9 months. |

Yes; we get it. You love your wife, kids, dog, etc. But that's not what OP asked. I'm with OP in that my Z06 is my most prized possession. I don't have much else, other than my SRT 392 and a bunch of cheap, worthless, powerlifting trophies. It's been 18 months since I bought it, and still feels brand new to me. |

I hate to admit it, since it will doubtless call my mancard into question- but if the OP had not excluded pets, it wouldn't have been the trucks posted. See, I bought my wife a chihuahua that grew up to weigh TWO WHOLE POUNDS- and adopted me. I'd likely burn the trucks to rescue her... little devil smooth wrapped me up and makes my bad days good just by being there. My friends give me grief because my dog looks like something from Rodeo Drive... |

Yep same here. After 6 years still get a thrill taking her out and pushing that right pedal to the floor.

I have a small treasure box in my safe. It has things in it that most people would call worthless. A shoe horn that my grandfather used to use, an old off brand Zippo style lighter from my other grandfather, An 18K gold ring with my grandfathers initials, an old broken Timex watch. Some old coins without much monetary value. Some cuff links and tie clasps from my uncle. Some of my grandmothers old jewelry that I might one day give to my daughters. This treasure box would be the first thing I grab after I know my family is safe if there were a fire.

Thanks man, it's been a great project. It's just beginning to start family memories but the kids love going out in it for ice cream runs.

My Father gave me his "Good luck Ring" that he got from a friend serving in China prior to WWII. He wore it through 2 wars and never took a hit. I guess is worked.

Actually it is you who fail to comprehend. I do not form emotional attachments with inanimate objects. "Things" are purchased because they fulfill a need, or are a good investment or are practical in some other sense.
Let me put it to you this way... Assuming we are awake and fully clothed when the 5 minute GTFO comes we would be gone in less than 2 minutes. I would grab the love of my life, and the box. The box contains things like insurance policies, passports, car titles, cash etc. And a weapon with spare mags and ammo. And a white light source with spare batteries. And a week's worth of meds for both of us. We would pile into the Subaru because it is easier to sleep in than anything else we own and be gone. That's it and the rest can either be replaced or stored in our memories. Again, stuff is just stuff; it does not define who we are as people because we are self aware enough that we are not defined by the shit we own. |
