I think of all the film cameras I have got rid of, this is the one I regret. Although realistically I would not be using it much today. We do, however, still have a 1983 Volvo 740 which we shipped to Puerto Rico when we moved to Belgium in 1995. This way my wife has a car there when she visits. It has saved us a ton of money on car rentals over the years.
