Nice cars. I love the old muscle cars. My first was a '73 Chevelle, with tight Rally steering wheel. I thought that was the greatest thing. :P

This is the exact model and color of my first truck. (including the black grill) Though it had factory wheels and wasn't lowered like this one. (damn that is stupid, why would someone do that?!?!?)

Yes sir, I'm craving another. Had 3 of them myself. Dad owned a VW dealership back in the 70's so they are all I remember.

First one I got was when I was in 10th grade. It was the 71' Pearl White pictured about.

http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/4/202/2301/38003650001_large.jpg

Second was a Midnight Black 67', I still cry thinking about the day I sold this one.

http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b472/sportbugger/logos2074.jpg

3rd was a 73' Sun Beetle Porsha version. Very rare, hard to find. May look familiar if you have seen the movie Footloose. Had to sell it when we moved to SC.

Been 5 years! I want another!

1968 Ford Fairlane. It had a stock 302 I juiced up just a tad and rarely lost any races. Mine was beige with a black vinyl top. I loved that car despite the fact it wasn't a chick magnet car.

No pic, but I had an 87 Ford Taurus. A/C was busted, speakers were busted, and at night I had to use high beams all the time because the headlights were faded yellow. But that little car would get up and go, and besides a blown radiator hose, didn't give me no trouble.

After that I got a 98 Mustang V6 with a manual. Slow and sounded horrible with my dual exhaust (glasspacks) at the time that I thought sounded good. But I still have so many good memories and times with that car and she was dead solid reliable. Lasted 3 years of high school and all of college. Got rid of it and got a 2002 Chevy Z71 which I still have. And recently I picked up a 2002 Mustang GT, manual, which is my baby and is taken extreme care of. Not the fastest, but looks beast and has an awesome exhaust note.

1996 Mazda MPV...it was forest green with a tan cloth interior. Ugly as sin, drank gas like water, was loud, and after about 6 months the transmission broke and it wouldn't go in reverse -- I had to pull through every parking space at school or parallel park it on the street.

After I donated it to the Purple Heart foundation, I got one of these:

2002 Nissan Sentra...mine had fog lights, alloy wheels and a spoiler. Cool little car. My brother still drives it to this day. If he ever decides to get rid of it, I think I'm going to buy it off him for a beater. It needs some work...he hasn't taken good care of it.

yeah, that is from Back to the Future. My truck had nearly 200k miles and the engine was still going strong. The transmission went out on it so I traded it in. I wanted to keep it but I know it would be sitting in my garage collecting dust if I had.

1984 Chevy S10 Blazer. Mine was two-toned blue and grey. Picked the colors because of the Cowboys. This was my dad's truck for hauling stuff, but he let me pick the colors since it was my car during the week (or whenever he didn't need it).

Then, I bought this for $4000... 1978 Porsche 924. Slowest car on Earth. Constantly broken. I sold it a year later for $3500.

http://thejeep.org/wp-content/uploads/history/1967-1973-jeepster-commando-c-101-03.jpg

The guy who bought it from me was the Dad of one of my teachers. He really put a lot of money into it. When he died she told me she wanted to give it back to me, but didn't know how to find me so she sold it. I was sick. I wouldn't have taken it for free, but she swears her Dad wanted me to have it back.

Edit...

Tires about that size. Mine was the pickup style at the top, not the SUV style as below.

She was a very sharp car after the repairs. Three weeks later it was stolen from where I worked on Halloween, never heard from her since :(

Ugh, why? BMWs were so freaking ugly back then. They started to look a little better around 1995 or so, but I didn't get a BMW until 2005. They were just plain ugly prior to the style change in the mid 90s.

It was this model, but in Orient Blue. It was my wife's car after we got together. She had a BMW X5 prior to that. It was nice looking too.
