What's your favorite vehicle you ever owned??
« on: August 08, 2008, 02:21:09 PM »
About a year ago we purchased a cabin in Blue Ridge GA and we needed a truck to haul stuff in. I decided to to trade in my Metallic Pewter Convertible Trans AM for a poop brown GMC Sonoma truck and have regretted it ever since. I've had several Mustangs over the years that I liked very much but the Trans AM stands out as my favorite. I just cant seem to let it go. Now that we've fixed up the cabin I've been hitting eBay recently in an attempt to buy one back. So I was just curious, anyone else have an favorite vehicle they own now or have owned in the past and miss?

I'd have to say I love my both my cars, my 1997 Acura 3.0 CL and my 1994 4Runner, BECAUSE THEY'RE PAID FOR.

Actually, they've been great cars.

The worst of it is, The Trans AM was paid for.   :-\

You're scared of Camaro's, going shirtless and D&D Hookem ? If it helps, the green Camaro was my girlfriends and it's long gone now too. she drives a Sebring now.

Thankfully for you all I won't be posting any shirtless pics.

Here's my 1989 Mustang convertible.  My mid-life crisis car.  Sadly, it was costing me too much to store during the Chicago winters just to drive it a few months.  I sold it last summer.  :'(

Corsa exhaust
Cowl hood
Corvette Z06 cam/springs/pushrods

Too many mods to list... she was a beauty, and ran a 14 second quarter mile while doing 0-60 in under 7 seconds (oh, and it could still tow/haul as well).

The one I have now is my favorite.  My black 2004 Silverado Z71, tow package for the RV, 4 door (for the kids) and the obligatory "Oh Sh*t" bar for the wife.

I actually saw a kid on a tricycle like that a couple of weeks ago.  I really stopped and took notice because I didn't think they made them like that anymore.

I know I'll probably catch some flack for this one...... I had a 2004 Pontiac Aztek. That car took a lot of heat for being ugly but it was an awesome car. I loved it and would still have it except that in late April of 2006 I was in an accident and it flipped over.

While it was sliding about 100 feet on it's roof, with all the windows shattering and me hanging upside down by the seat belt.... all I could think was "Holy sh*t!!! My fuckin' car!!"....

I walked away with a minor burn on my bicep from the airbag but not another scratch. The EMTs kept insisting that I had to be more hurt and should go to the hospital. Finally the one EMT said "look at his blood pressure and pulse..... they should be through the roof but they're great! Leave him alone.".

The worst part was seeing the photo of my beloved car on it's roof the next day in the local paper with my name under the photo....... yeah I got a lot of calls......
