    I had an '85. It was a perfect car (depending on perspective of course) for before seatbelt laws... We'd cram four in the back, two sitting on the back/top of the back seat, like they were in a pageant, or something...

    1967 Bimmer 1600, aka the grey ghost. Grey because that was its color, ghost because it haunted the mechanic's shop.

    A 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix that the speedometer was incorrect exponentially (the faster you went, the more wrong it was) and the odometer would sometimes stop, sometimes fly forwards a few miles and sometimes removes miles from the engine. LOL

    Never had to pay for an emissions test on the sucker.

    '67 Chevy Camaro w/factory air, 327, automatic...added a Craig 8 Track and 2 Jenzen rear speakers. Yellow body with a black vinyl top. Totally restored it when I was 16 (summer 1974) with my Dad. Very fond memories. Yes, back then we could afford to pay that out of our own pockets with jobs. Idiot for selling it. :noway:

    A 1979 Plymouth Arrow Jet. Spitfire orange and flat black with a stick shift. I lived on a curvy gravel road and loved driving that car as fast as I could through those turns! I ended up totalling it on a straight stretch of paved road because someone turned in front of me. It was before seat belt laws so I was ejected from the driver's seat through the passenger window. I'm lucky to be alive!

    Wow, you really are.

    The first car I ever owned was a '78 Mustang II... First car that I owned and actually managed to put on the road was a '81 VW Rabbit. I miss the old Rabbit, roof leaked, no exhaust, would randomly die but if you waited 5 mins it would fire back up and be fine... best POS car ever.

    My dad had a green Torino in the early 70's with the manual transmission on the steering column.
    First and only time I've seen that.

    used black Turismo 2.2. Don't know the year. Rack and pinion (Spelling?) steering. Low to the ground and hard to turn the wheel when not in drive. LOVED IT!!!!

    I love how people are "missing" their old POS cars :laugh:
