The one that you owned because of whatever reason sold and would like to own again.
Mine: 1972 Toyota Landcruiser FJ40 Red 3 speed Just absolutely the toughest piece of equipment not Army issued I've ever been around. Paid $800 dollars for it spent another thousand modding and it was sweet.

Sold the one on the left to fund the rebuild of the one on the right:
That was 5 years ago, the rebuild has never been finished.

1994 Acura Integra TypeR. I put just about $15 under the hood of that car and got it to run 10's on the strip. Wife made me sell it when we started to try to make a family.
It's the one thing I'll never forgive her for.

I was an hour away from buying a sweet little BMW E39 M5 when my wife called and told me she was pregnant.

Showed up at a farm outside of Purvis, MS because a '57 Biarritz was reportedly there, missed on it by an hour but got the booby prize of a '57 Bel Air in much better shape for much less money.
Glad I didn't in retrospect, I was able to easily flip the Chevy but that huge Cadillac car would have owned me instead of me owning it. Still there were less than 3,000 of them built in '57....

This was my first car I ever had
It was freakin awesome and I loved it. When I got to college I wanted to be some super billy badass and have 2 vehicles (why? Idk, I was young and stupid) so with some money I had saved up I bought a truck. Well, obviously, that REAL quick became an unwise decision because obviously expenses add up fast with 2 vehicles. So I decided to sell the Impala because a)in Athens it just made more sense to have a truck instead of it and b)I could get more money for it.
I still about once a month have dreams about driving that car.

I had a 1980 as well, but never got to drive it. I did sell it to a guy I work with so I'm sure I could get that one back if I really ($) wanted.

Had to get rid of my '93 Corolla when I joined a firm that represents unions.

Interesting. G Vice had a friend in the early 1990s from da Berry/Lydia area with the exact same Jeep.
304 cubic inch V8? Dark gray color?

1966 Chevelle 396 SS. Be worth a few bucks now
1983 Porsche 944, Guards Red 5 speed. Nah, that car about broke me in maintenance
Missed chance to buy '82 Rolls Royce at a good price. I had moved and owner didn't know how to get in touch. Sold it to some collector in CA, turned out to be some special stretch version.

My 1970 White Camaro.
I still miss that car.
I will own another one eventually when the kids leave.
Wife knows it is gonna happen.

How is that not a responsible dad car?

A hunting lease back in the day had a Volkswagen Thing for lessees' use... I was barely old enough to drive, but I wish I would have found a way to acquire that "car" from them.
