I'm jealous, I had to make do with cast metal (yes they were heavy)
Chevy hubcaps. I kept them when I sold the car because they were
rumored to be valuable. I sold them to a guy for $200 while I was in
college. That $200 bought a lot of beer.

I wish I was too. I gave up a lot of "good stuff" because I thought I
was in love during my senior year of high school. Plus if we all had
known AIDS was on the horizon maybe the easy love days of the 60s would
have had a brief revival.
