Favorite cars we don't have anymore

[8manpick]

Glad some non-retards rescued this thread.

First: '97 Ford Explorer



Second, after 8bropick hit a deer and totaled the first: '89 Buick Century

Didn't look good, but was pretty fast and fun to drive with a V6

Third: '92 Buick Park Avenue

Drove from the last month of high school '06 until Christmas day 2012.  Loved it and it served very well for a hand me down from 8grandmapick, but it had pretty much gone to crap the last few years. Incredibly comfortable road trip car.

Current: '05 Toyota Camry

After the Park Ave, I'm the opposite of spoiled when it comes to cars, so I am super excited about things like working heat/AC, speakers that aren't blown out, windows I don't have to roll up with a hand wired switch, and a CD player!    No sun roof though

This thread = good idea + poor execution.

I will throw in that I loved all my cars and miss all of them for different reasons

1964 Chevrolet pickup - could not take to college because it got about 8 mpg and had 3 gears
1997 Chevrolet Cavalier - If you ordered pita pit between 2006-2009 you saw this car
2003 Lexus IS300 - some drunk bad person totaled it when it was parked on a street near westport

I guess we're doing pics now

Some pretty great times in a 'stang like this one back in high school

[pissclams]

In no particular order and closest to the real car I could find, some of them are just way too exotic I guess
1976 Ford F-100. Was my grandpas at first, bro y-l_a1 drove it after and beat the crap out of it, bro y-l_a 2 had it inserted subwoofers bump bump  , then much later I periodically drove it until the neighbors tree fell on it.. If anyone remember a 2 tone blue ford at MHS 

 

seXterra 'nuff said


first car, loved it because it was my first.. then I hit a curb and I think one of the belts or something got loose and then it overheated and died. end of story.

had this for a few months. sheesh a tall lanky sophomore looks goofy driving that.


do not let your eyes deceive you. yes that is the same car as my first. loved it so much I got a different one. sports edition vroom vroom.


kinda wish I still had this, it was like a tank

after your first two cars you got your first car, yup, got it.  good job y-l-a.

CFoD are you, like, a million years old?

[Institutional Control]

CFoD are you, like, a million years old?

Yes. 42

[8manpick]

CFoD are you, like, a million years old?

Yes. 72

I can see how that 7 gets really close to the 4 on the num pad and when the vision starts going it can be hard to distinguish, so I fixed it for you.

[pissclams]

CFoD, can we blame you for the hole in the ozone?

Yes. In the 80s I used hair spray from an aerosol can.

just saying, i don't think any of your cars listed has hit double digits in mpg

[mocat]

i would hope car #11 did

No way. That Datsun pickup was a diesel and it would get 40 mpg. And the green Nissan truck would get close to 30.

A friend of mine had a shittier version of this truck. (IIRC, it also had subs). Anyway, it was such a piece of crap that he would just leave his keys in it all the time, and our school was in the middle of nowhere so it didn't matter. One morning I parked next to him just outside our wood shop class and said hi to him on the way in. I had wood shop that day and it was hilariously slow, so a couple of us were just hanging around the garage door and I noticed his truck. He was actually working or something so I got in and moved it to the other side of the parking lot where he couldn't see it. Came back and was sweeping the floor or some stupid crap with my buddy and I was just casually chatting for a couple minutes, then I looked outside and I was like, "Um, friend, didn't you park next to me this morning?"

"OH eff SOMEONE STOLE MY TRUCK!"

We stopped him before he got to the office and had lots of laughs. Crazy times, fellas!

I am the victim of a similar story. My old truck you could pop out into neutral without the keys, and also release the parking brake. And it like didnt even have door locks. So one day i was leaving my job in high school and my coworkers had rolled it down the hill to the extreme other end of the parking lot behind a tree. i freaked out.

Did everyone in KS own a T-bird at some point except me?

Winters needs to chime in here.  He got yelled at by some drive thru harpy for ruining the environment with his vehicle.

Very smooth ride.  The automatic seat belt was also pretty cool and probably why I still always wear a seat belt now.

The '79 T-Bird I had was like driving an aircraft carrier. Fully loaded though. I loved the headlight covers that flipped up.
