i wish i kept my first car. 90s Dodge conversion van, rear seats removed, swapped in a limited slip diff.
Darn near impossible to drive in the winter because there was no weight over the rear axle. It'd whip shitties just because.
I remember once, driving to school, I managed to pull a full 180 by accident on Main Street without hitting a single car.
Now I'm getting all nostalgic. I really wish I could go back in time and redo all the little projects I had tried doing back then, but with the skills and resources available to me today. Like, I had replaced the door cards with ones from a better conversion van and had to make my own wooden inserts. I didn't have a router or anything to do a better job with the edges. With a 3d printer now, I could finally fix the worn out mirror bushings. Having a proper array of fasteners meant I could get the speakers in place properly. I really struggled to do things 'right' as a 17 year old making $5.75/hour.

Darn, that's absolutely peak. My family used to have a conversion van back in the day, but we had to sell it because it only got 4mpg. Was definitely the most pimp car we ever had, though. It had the best shag carpets, curtains, and mood lighting the late 80's could offer.
One of the people at my church still has their conversion van as a daily. I have to respect it.
