Your favorite car ?

[Sarah in SC]

FD, if you sold a car that looked like that one for your college tuition, I'm here to tell you that you made a poor choice!

 

[FinanceDude]

Did it look like this ?

Yes, but it was green.........

 

[Sarah in SC]

Finance Dude....sigh...we should have been there to do an intervention!

While 73ss454 finds his pictures, I'll post my favorite of HIS car, the 73 Chevelle!

I had a '74 Chevelle Malibu Classic.......that was probably the sharpest looking [-]car[/-] automobile that I've ever owned.

It looked very similar to this one, but had metallic copper paint, an off-white vinyl roof, premium wire wheel covers, and light tan interior......and it was my 1st car with A/C and an 8-track stereo!

Caterham?

Yup. Comes in a couple of huge crates plus some odd bits. Engine and transmission extra. Some assembly required.

Currently working on Step 0: Clean out the garage so as to have a reasonable workspace.

Always wanted one of these - picked it up in my dot com daze

Well, in the fantasy world:

The 2000 911 cab - I liked that versions headlights, they've since gone back to the original.

But my first car was a 1983 Honda Accord (back in 93), many fond memories, parted with it in 2000 and wish I had held onto it for another 7 years.

First car was a 62 Belair, 283-2bbl, three-on-the-tree. A whopping 170hp under the hood.

Next up, 66 Bug, followed by a 70 Bug...

I had a 62 Catalina once. It was plum in color. I bought it at an estate sale from a little old lady who drove it to church, it only had 45,000 miles on it.

What a great roadtrip car, I could fit EIGHT kids in it.........

Hey, there's another MINI in there!

 

[Meadbh]

Hillman, Sunbeam, Belair, Simca.....where are they now?

Imagine it's 2020. How many of today's brands will still be around?

 

[Moemg]

This is my car that will not die . I bought it in 1994 and gave it to my daughter in 1998 . It now has close to 200,000 miles on it and is still going strong ! Geo Prism !

 

[DesertRat]

Well my favorite classic I have owned for 38 years is my 59 studebaker Hawk. My favorite daily driver is my 97 Miata.

I also have a nice 69 VW Camper Bus

Why would you want to?

Next:

I got one of those for free['73 MG] from my dad when he bought a previous methlab house with a bunch of cars on it. Owned that car for exactly 24 hours before it was stolen.

C'est la vie...

 

[zxxxt]

Here's my favorite, a z31.

 

[FinanceDude]

Why would you want to?

By kids, I meant that my college buddies would pile in and roadtrip to other cities, looking for women...........

Who can resist a man driving a 62 Catalina??

 

[bbbamI]

Well, you've got me there.

All you needed was eight drunk chicks...

 

[bbbamI]

Eight guys, eight women, beverages for all...he'd need a bus.

Even I wasn't that good, 3-4 was my limit...........
