Memory lane Well thats easy, I would have a 1966 International Scout, I know maybe this is a little silly but it was the vehicle that my Grandfather taught me to drive in. It was a basic small 4x4 mini truck back then. It had a half cab, 4 speed on the floor, no A/C, AM radio, no many added items.
He was a pumper in the Sun Oil Company oilfield in East Texas. He handed me 12 and my brother, 11, the keys and said there you go learn to drive. I felt like A.J. Foyt.It took about 5 minutes to get it in reverse, but it shifted almost like the tractor we drove before a auto.
It was red and white and it lives in my memory as one my most memorable times in my life. My brother and I had many wonderful days driving it on dirt roads in the oilfield driving my grandfather around at work in the summers and to hunting area in the fall.It had All Wheel Drive on the chrome emblem on the side. Well this is not a 68' Camaro or some hot rod but the memories are just as real.

If I really want to take a trip down my childhood memory lane... then the vehicle would be a large cardboard box, cut an flattened into a long rectangle with a hole cut near the front for a hand grip. The reason for choosing this for my journey is that I lived in Texas. Texas has ice in the winter at times but seldom ever has snow.
What it does have in abundance is long dry dusty days and lots of Johnson grass. In case you don't have any around, Johnson grass is basically a 'weed' but it grows in great abundance. It has a thin blade that can give you a paper cut if you pull it between your fingers and grows to be well over the head of a child -- perhaps 6-8 feet tall.So what we spent a great deal of type doing (when I was a child) was going to a nearby steep hillside that was full of dry and brown Johnson grass.
We would get the cardboard and position ourselves at the top of the hill exactly as on would do with a toboggan on a snow covered slope. Then we would slide down the hill, singly or with as many as three kids on one piece of cardboard. The dry dusty grass was incredibly slick and the speed down the hill was breathtaking.
The various bumps under the grass made for a lot of breathtaking bounding on the way. We would do this for hours, it cost nothing and was relatively safe. When you said a ride down memory lane, it was the very first thing that popped into my mind -- so I''m going with it.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
