Reminiscing about past rides....

Anybody think back and really regret getting rid of past rides whether they were daily drivers or street/strip/show cars...

I think the 2 I missed the most were my S10 and my civic (daily drivers)... Both incredible on gas mileage and both would hold there own in the turns. Both very slow but tons of fun to drive! Oh man.... S10 I sold on impulse and I was having issues with getting it inspected because of the shaved door handles! and the honda I sold as stock but not running. Spun a rod bearing and locked up the motor. I should have just replaced/repaired the motor but I was frustrated and sold it cheap.

Miss these cars....

01 mr2 spyder.... slow-ish car for how it looked(14.9 at 88) but amazing fun to drive. always got asked if it was a porsche or some other italian/german car. super close gears and super light weight made it a blast. crashed it, lost my job(unrelated to crashing, was in 08 when everyone got laid off), got repoed

I know this sounds crazy but that honda was fun! put the sun roof back windows down and just cruise down the highway! It was light and nimble and like I said got incredible gas mileage!And I know us american car guys make fun of it but even though the car only had the single cam 100hp motor in it. When Vtec hit it was hilariously awesome! It made my laugh almost everytime! Just a perfect little daily driver! Too bad I cant find another one as clean. That car was a SHOW CAR in the standards of any Honda. Man shouldnt have let it go...



Color matched EVERYTHING! I tried to do this car with as little bit of rice as possible! HAHA! But still keep it clean and respectable.

I miss my first car....1987 Monte Carlo SS. I bought it at 16 since it needed a paint job and picked it up from the autobody shop the day of my 17th birthday in 1999. It was nothing crazy....a 355 with a th350 trans and 3.73's but with the new paint and shiny american racing wheels, it was a sharp car. I stupidly sold it in the beginning of 2001 to buy parts for the vert. Now I'm trying to track it down. I'll post a pic when I get home tonight.

That is one beautiful S10, drmrman. I still have most of the vehicles I loved owning in fear of regretting getting rid of them lol. I do wish I still owned my 1984 GMC Sierra however, as I am now 4x4-less.

I miss most of the cars I've sold in the past, lots of memories around those cars both good and bad. I wish I had more room to have kept some of my old cars but I only have so much parking so for something new to come home something old has to go.

Cars I miss most, my 1973 Cutlass Supreme that I swapped a small block chevy into. Even though I had a 1971 Caprice and a 1969 Delta 88 before it I consider it my first real car cause it was the first one I built. I also miss my TTA's (#'s 124, 850, 861, and 1461) but glad I am keeping one, and I'll probably miss my '98 T/A that is supposed be gone on Friday but dont regret selling anything cause what came after has been great

I miss this truck, it was my first vehicle. It was a 4.3, automatic 2wd with cold a/c. What a great truck

After too long of missing the truck, I decided to get something similar to fix up. I put a lot of work into it but it's been worth it, the truck is great. Its got the 300 straight 6, 5 speed, 4x4, and limited slip rear, only 129,000 miles. Loving it so far, don't think I'll ever make the mistake of selling again.

Thanks man! I had a couple 4x4's also that i took from stock to not so stock. and I miss them also. But those trucks arent the same. Not as much fun to drive on the road....

1995 S10... Great truck. It was my "first car" I liked it. and I put a lot of work into it. But I never loved it.




THEN! my 1997 blazer. SWEET TRUCK! Only had 57K miles on it when I bought it. 2dr, fuel injected 4.3, with the square headlights, G80 rear (factory LSD). It was a PERFECT truck. Bought it stock and made it into a pretty capable off road truck that was still pretty on the street.







The blazer I LOVED! But... I was going to school full time, had a job part time, and traveled about 65 or so miles a day.... I was putting more money into gas then what I was making! Thats when I bought the charcoal S10.
