    1972 Buick Centurion Convertible. Bright red, with a white top, and white leather interior. Bittersweet getting rid of it, because I doubled my money. But that car was front row at the valet everytime. Badass!

    57 Chevy that I had owned for 27 years. :( Now I have a 64 Comet Caliente and it is just not the same. But the large steerying wheel feels nice and fits perfect for my needs.

    '98 Camaro SS. It was a bathtub on wheels, but oh-so-much fun to drive. Went like stink, liked to do 360's at inopportune times, and highly entertaining in the snow. Leased it and returned it at the end.

    I don't see many LT1's and LS1's on the road these days, so I guess they didn't age so well.

    Sigh.

    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:

    1998 Porsche Boxster

    ..... oh wait, never got rid of? Nope still have it, awesome car.

    but maybe it's because of what I've owned?
    --86 dodge 600
    --91 chevy beretta 3.1 V6 - had some kick
    --96 caprice 4.3 V8
    --95 caprice 5.7 LT1 V8 police cruiser - had a lot of kick!
    --a few crown vics - i was buying/selling police auction cars for awhile
    --90 ford taurus station wagon - zero power, but lots of space, good mpg
    --2001 toyota avalon
    --98 boxster - very fast, amazing handling, lots of looks, decent mpg for what it is, less maintenance than I thought it would be

    My 1994 Mazda MX6. Bought it in 2005 and taught myself to drive it (1st manual transmission car)
    Swapped in another motor in 2006. And did a few other modifications (suspension, brakes, ECU, and other engine stuff, etc.) But in 2010 there were over 400,000 kms on the body and things started to go on it.
    Was constantly sinking money into it. Was time to let it go and get something that wasn't 16 years old.

    Mine was a T-top bright orange V-6 1975? Mustang. But it reminded me too much of my ex at the time so I traded it in for another Mustang. Dark Blue plain jane, But it was sweet too. Then after that it was my Convertible Mustang with white body and green bottom. Trani blew out and even with a replacement it never ran right again. MY plan.....get another Mustang....someday.

    My 2007 Toyota Highlander. I drive a 2010 Highlander now. I miss my 2007. It drove more like a car and wasn't as big as my current one.

    Honda Hurricane 1000 motorcycle...Its because I loved driving fast. 185 mph nothing was too far away not to go to. This thing made the interstate look like a parking lot.

    1983 Olds Delta 88 Royale. Car was so easy to drive, plenty of space for passengers and cargo alike, comfortable - like riding on a cloud, engine sounded nice when you hit the gas, rear wheel drive, cheap to fix.

    Currently in a BMW 745i - which has all the above except the cheap to fix part. :)

    2000 Jeep Wrangler sport, put a nice lift and tires on it, not too high, just the right amount. riding around with the top down with my bulldog by my side. I need to get another one :sad:

    It looked a lot like this one, but with rhino lining and side steps. Wish I didn't have to sell it before we moved :grumble:

    Best I owned: 1976 Chevy Monte Carlo - the one with the LONG hood and short back end. Black with White Landau top, black interior with swivel bucket seats. 350 V-8, alloy wheels, AM/FM radio with an 8-TRACK tape player (woohoo!). Sold it when I got promoted and got a company car.

    Best car my family owned: 1966 Pontiac Catalina 2DR Coupe - teal metallic with white roof; 389 V-8 with dual 4-barrel carbs. Man that thing moved! Our first car with A/C. Dad bought it used in 1967 from a salesman who was getting a new car. Paid $2400 and it had 24000 miles. My dad finally sold it about 1980 with 300K miles because the body was rusting and the steering was going. I saw it around town for a few years after that. The local GM dealer loved that car because it was so reliable. Was driven hard - weekly 500 mile roundtrips at 80 - 90 mph for over a year. Engine never had more than a tune-up - no ring / valve jobs, etc.

    A friend of mine had ... and still *has* ... a 1975 Monte Carlo. He's totally rebuilt and modified the 350, had the interior redone, chrome wheels ... it's a dark red with a black Landau top. We did a lot of cruising in that car when we were teenagers. :)
