1976 Olds Cutlass wagon.   350 4-barrel.  Gas hog.   Shaggin' wagon.  :mrgreen:

1981 Plymouth Champ (Dodge Colt in disguise).   Little thing would MOVE when you needed it to.   Great mileage.

1986 Dodge Colt.   No. Power. At. All.   :x

1988 Dodge Ram 50 Pickup.   By Mitsubishi.   Metallic blue, extended cab, chrome rims, raised white letter tires.   I just loved that truck, until it developed a habit of stalling while making left turns across busy traffic.

1988 Buick Regal.  White.  Pimpmobile.  Respectable V-6 power AND 30 MPG on trips.

1994 Saturn, 4-door.   Went through alternators every 30,000 miles or so.  Dent-free door panels made the car look great even after 135,000 miles.   Original transmission and A/C!

2000 Nissan Frontier.   75,000 miles so far.   Zero complaints, but I wish it had a bit more power.

With the exception of the Oldsmobile, I've kept all my cars well past the 100,000 mile mark.
On those days when life is a little too much and nothing seems to be going right, I pause for a moment to ponder the wise last words of my grandfather:  "I wonder where the mother bear is?"

'84 some sort of POS Pontiac...bought for 50 bucks, drove it home 45 miles on 2 flats and 2 spares...In the rain, with 1 headlight, rotting headliner falling in my face, and no heat.  It is now at the bottom of a swamp somewhere in central Minnesota with the fluids drained out.

'75 Chevy pickup, lowered, 2WD, 3.73, shortbed, shaved up, 454, shift kit...bla bla bla, wasted too much money on it...going to take a major bath when it finally sells...if it ever does.

Anybody interested?

Good taste in "automobiles".   :mrgreen:

What model?

The family owns all the rolling stock here, so technically I've never owned a car.  So It's kinda hard to say what my first was.   :lol:
Every zero you add to the tolerance adds a zero to the price.

If the product "fails" will the product liability insurance pay for the "failure" until it turns 18?

my first and only car is an 86' GL Escort with the optional 2.0L CAT turbo diesel matted to a 6speed. I've since added the GT''s body work [for an 86' it was hot back then the GT's looks...] and I put on a set of celica wheels that's as far as i'm going with my "pimp job" which is sick considering it looks like an import rice burner until you hear it idle LMAO :cheers:  can't beat it tho at 52mpg highway and it has 300k miles on it and goes as strong as day 1. Then I just aquired a 90' Ford Ranger with a blown crank bearings and probably a stuck inteak valve. what can I say I bought it for $100 and hauled it away and it's currently up on jackstands next to my FZR600 with the motor out and up on the engine stand....

AS a side note anyone of you who drive and AUTOMATIC arn't diriving :nana:  :nana:  :nana:  :nana:  :nana:
Motorcycle's are God's greatest creation; turning gas into noise with acceleration & power as side effects

My ride was a '79 VW Rabbit w/ diesel engine

48 hp in a 2000 # car!
but it got 50-55 mpg when driven conservatively!

It had about 90-10 weight distribution which made it a great snow car. I had a ski rack I salvaged from a dumpster. We would leave school, drive to ski resort for "night skiing" then pray that thing would crank at midnight in the freezing cold. Get home around 2 and get up for school!

I loved passing jacked up toyotas that were stuck on ice/snow and flipping em the bird.  :nana:
