My 1961 Ferrari 250GT California. Less than a hundred were made.


IMHO -- only a prized possession if used as intended...driven, often... ...because it is one of the most beautiful engine noises ever created wrapped in an amazing piece of automotive design. Worst thing for a Ferrari (or any Italian car for that matter) is to let it sit

The locket my husband gave me on our wedding day and the necklace he gave me when I gave birth to our son...I lost the locket about 4 years ago and DH found it...he knew I was devastated when I lost it and he put on my pillow one night...I just bawled!

Although I do like to sleep naked so that robe that lives at the foot of my bed would be essential if something were to happen in the middle of the night.


Oh, and my copy of Ferris Beuller's Day Off.

If we're talking tangible things, family photos - all of ours from the last few years are backed up digitally, but there are lots of older ones I'd be so sad to lose.

My mother's wedding ring. I wear it on my right ring finger almost every day.

Wow, I bet that is so cool!


A man with such screwed up priorities doesn't deserve such a fine automobile.


??? How do you know his priorities are screwed up? Or that "he" is a he? Just because that's his/her most prized posession? Some of you are such pollyanna's on here. We excluded people from this! I love the irony of all you Bethesda/NW DC dwelling, private school admission hand wringing, lululemon wearing peeps here can be so sanctimonious when it comes to something like this. Yet none of you seem to be relinquishing your worldly belongings to charity. Or even deigning to live in a "bad" area like Silver Spring, lol. Fucking hypocrites.

I'm a female person, btw.
Everyone who reacted with outrage to this post - take a pill, relax, and go buy a sense of humor. (Hint: you can probably find one if you rent Ferris Bueller's Day Off.)

Please tell me there's a missing word here - otherwise, the logistical difficulties are mind-boggling.

If everything else burned down or went away, I trust that we would be okay as a family.


I'm sure all of us, if not most, think the same way you do. This is just a thread on material stuff...nothing serious
