90 lx 5.0 5 speed.. That car was pretty cherry. Flipped it off an overpass and was ejected out the back hatch.

78 C10 heavy half. Had a blown power valve, bad plug wires, what must have been 4.10 gears, glass packs and a bad metering valve (rear brakes didn't work at all).
I'd boil the tires like crazy when it started, hit a bump though and one of the plug wires would fall off. It also literally had gas dripping out of the carburetor all the time. It was good for 4 mpg but it'd drop down to 2 with the a/c on. I also had to add a quart of oil every day.
Loaned it to my brother and of course he didn't add any oil and locked the engine up. Put a used engine in it with a 2 barrel and it was a slug but got 8 mpg. Drove it for a while, my brother borrowed it again and blew the engine up again. Put a reman engine in it from Gateway Auto Supply and sold it to my brother in law.

1981 Chevy LUV pickup - damned thing was indestructible. Bought it for $500, sold it for $600 2 years later. I'd love to find one again to fuck around in.Originally posted by davbrucasI want to like Slow99 since people I know say he's a good guy, but just about everything he posts is condescending and passive aggressive.
Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?
You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

1972 Fiat Spider convertible. Top was in pieces, 2nd and 3rd gears were out. Had to shift 1st to fourth until I replaced tranny. I got rid of it and got a 1980 Monza coupe with a 4 banger and auto, then dropped a 69 Vette 350 in it. Didn't handle worth a shit and brakes sucked, but sure was fun to drive. I'll pass on the Monza, the Fiat maybe.sigpic

1972 Olds Cutlass 442 455 c.i., Turbo 400,
It was a welcome home present to my dad from his when he returned from Vietnam. By the time i got it, ac was useless and so were the brakes. I couldn't see shit out of it, either. I used "the force" to fit it through tight spots. It was a gas toilet, and liked to eat batteries too. But it was the easiest thing to drive and it was built like a tank.
I got offers daily to sell it. I totaled it when I was 19 on a double date when some asshat in an f-body ran a red light in downtown Dallas and t-boned it. All four of us walked away, he was in the hospital for two weeks.
I lost my v-badge in the back seat. Anytime I smell old vinyl I think of it. I'd trade my left nut to have it again, though.
(notice the nice emerald green hatch? My first mustang)
