I owned a 1966 Corvette that had low miles and totally original. I bought it from the original owner. Sold it 18 months later for 50% more than I paid. Wish I still had that car today. Oh well.:sad:

    Had a 2000 Dodge Durango, travelled everywhere and absoluley loved it. That was until my daughter literally backed over a Honda prelude and completley destroyed the engine, so I got a 2011 Dodge Durango nothing like my original..:grumble:

    My very first car: 1991 Nissan Sentra, candy apple red. She was all deluxe model with a CD player & a tape deck so I could plug in my MP3 player or listen to an actual album.

    That car took no sass. I was so bummed when I had to sell her to pay for moving expenses.

    My newer Sentra just doesn't cut it.

    The car I have now. Toyota Tacoma. I have owned for 15 years and it has not given me a bit of trouble. I'll will it to my grand children.

    1986 dodge colt vista...........it may be a cheap looking car but it was the greatest most reliable car i have ever owned. I could drive through any amount of snow even though it was only 2wd. great ride and comfortable even for big guys like me.....and no joking i got 450 miles on 10 gals of gas.

    I've had so many, but my favorite was a bright yellow '67' VW bug with a Happy face painted on it's front. That car went through thick and thin and had so many fun times in it. It had 289,000 miles on it when I sold it. Best car a teenager could own. Relaible, fun, went forever on a few bucks (gas was 42 cents a gal then)and if you promised to fix it as soon as possible it would always get you home.

    I also owned a 70 GTO at the same time, but it ended up in the Mojave desert in a junk yard, because that is not a good car for a teenager to own. Too much power not enough brains. :-(

    my first car, a '98 Plymouth Neon. it was the best car ever, stick shift to boot. never had to plug it in in winter (and i lived in Northern Alberta at the time, so that's saying something). had great gas mileage, it was like a little tank. then someone rear-ended me, pushing me into an SUV that was in front of me. if not for the SUV, it would have been fine. was a write off *sniff sniff* still miss that car.

    but, my present vehicle is pretty darn fun. an '08 Dodge Dakota 4x4. so far hasn't been nearly as reliable as the neon, but trucks are sexy, so it's all good :)

    I miss my '88 Honda CRX. Sitting in the driver's seat made you feel like you were in a rocket! I miss her... She would be of no use here in Colorado.
