Whic of your previous cars do you miss the most?

[Mike R]

LOL. By that time The motor had sat in the basement for over a year. With 2 kids I didn't have the time to install it. I still have what is left of the vic, a mostly rusted shell with a blown tranny, ragged out 240,000 mile 5.0 ,(which still runs pretty good) a nicely geared rear w/ posi, and a whole bunch of stock vic parts!

Besides, if all that stuff happened differently I wouldn't be driving the P5!

There's nothing wrong with getting married-just make sure that she changes the frigging oil in her car!

I miss my 1st car....

93 Ford Probe GT

that was my first car too

i miss my laser, even though i had to fix something on it every week the boost was fun

 

[Turbo Matty P]

I've never had nicer stuff in my life since I've been married.

the wife is uber-cool. She didn't freak when I told her I bought a 93 RX-7 to replace our brand new P5.....she just asked if she could drive it and how long it would be before I blew it up!!

dirty b****!!

 

[Mike R]

My wife has been really cool with the car situation. I've dumped 6K in a POS turbo mustang that I'm currently parting out and losing my ass on. She's not real happy with the money spent-but she's damn happy it's going away.

I miss my Buick Grand Nationals the most. Those were a blast.
Easy to make more power. Lots of good parts available.

 

[AbbyVonNormal]

I miss my 92 Ford Taurus. The most comfortable car i ever owned!
That and everyone in front of me on the highway would think i was a cop and quickly move over to the next lane!

But then again...i miss my Ford T-bird just as much...too many good times in that car!

 

[Turbo Matty P]

a lot of people enjoying fords....hmm, maybe domestics aren't quite that bad afterall.

 

[redwagon02]

I miss my '92 mustang gt the most. torque monster!

5.0's are one of the best sounding engines on earth.........errr 4.9

 

[mazdadan]

I miss my '82 Mazda RX-7 with 13B Streetport and Holly Projection. Sold it years ago when I needed college money.

 

[TurboBunny]

My Supra TT...may she rest in pieces Well actually she's been rebuilt by her new owner...my M Roadster would be next...would have kept her if I hadn't been stupid and gotten a 2000 instead of waiting for an 01 or 02..... Loved the car and the handling, but needed to sell her before she depreciated even more.....Hope to be replaced by something "nicer" this summer!

Hmmm...lemme see, an 80-something Plymouth Caravelle, a 1995 Dodge Neon, and a 2001 Ford Focus ZTS.

I miss the Neon the most. The suspension was just right, all she needed was some 16's. But then again, at 36,000 miles it burned a quart of oil between changes -- it held just over 4 qts with the filter. Service manager told me that was "in spec," I then asked him if Chrysler knew how much of a piece of sh*t their engine was.
Once took on a mid-80's Camaro and dusted him -- a true 7 second car out of the box. 150hp in a 2400 lb car. But it would have fallen apart in another year or so.

My Caravelle had 80-something thousand miles on it and didn't burn any oil!

Anyway, woulda kept the ZTS if it was a manual. Just needed some stiffer suspension and a body kit. My only beef with the P5 is the wheel gap -- nothing that a set of Eibach's won't fix.

 

[P5bob]

I've had a VW Rabbit (sucked) 2 Civics, and Grand Prix, a Precidia mx-3, Acura EL. Of all, I miss my 93 SI (EX in the U.S).
However, I do love the P5

 

[JunkPunch]

1991 Audi 200 quattro 20v. Miss it a lot, but don't miss working on it all the time, or dumping money into it. But REALLY miss driving it - the power, comfort, all-wheel drive. And the look on the SHO drivers who thought their car was fast

 

[Swerny]

My MSP is my 3rd car.

1st: 1984 VW Rabbit GTI. Silver with navy blue interior. The car was a go cart. Weird gearing though that topped out at about 160 kmh. I had it lowered with Neuspeed Sport Springs, Boge shocks, Neuspeed stress bar, and it had the VW teardrop wheels (until they got ripped off).
I bought it on my 18th b-day for $1500. It was on 3 bald tires and the donut when i got it. 145,000 kms, had hideous louvres (sp) on the rear window. A Craig pullout stereo.
It broke all the time, CV joints, exhaust, you name it. I did learn how to work on cars from it though. By the time I sold it 5 years later it had 190,000 kms on it. I got $1500 for it.

2nd: 1990 Integra LS 4 door: White with Navy interior. Bought it with 62,000 kms on it. Constantly needed body work, I ended up dropping it with Neuspeed Springs, Tokico shocks, Lightspeed intake and strut bar, Prothane bushing kit, custom exhaust and a Dynomax muffler, 4 inch gopher cannon, It went pretty well, and looked pretty good IMO. I sold it to my little brother when i bought the MSP, and he has since wrecked it. It had 195,000 km's on it after 8 years of use. I saw it all busted in the driveway when i went home for Christmas and man it hurt to see it that way.

I loved them both, but I probably miss the GTI more though because it has been so long since i drove it. I would probably say it was a POS if i drove it now.

Good times.

 

[Turbo Matty P]

hahaha Junk-Punch....I've never rolled up on a car like that. I wouldn't mind trying though one I get my LSD installed!!

 

[JunkPunch]

Just messin with you . You probably won't ever roll up on a car like that, since there are only about 800 of them in the US. That's why parts were so damn expensive.

Stock they were 217hp and 220lb-ft at 1850rpm. Simple chip upgrade and you were at 270hp and 285lb-ft. Different chip, plus new manifold and bigger turbo and you were at 340hp. The engine was just nuts.

 

[kk52736]

i miss all of them

89 Honda Civic SI from 96-97
98 Honda Accord EX-V6 from 98-99
92 Honda Civic DX from 99-00
89 Chevrolet Tracker from 01-02
93 Honda Civic DX from 02 - total lost
03 Mazda Protege5 from 03 - present

 

[Leadfoot]

I miss my 82 RX-7 :'( ....well, actually I still own it, but it's been in storage for over 5 years now, it leaks oil while running like no tomorrow (lit on fire on my twice....got lucky it didn't roast on me). I'm waiting 'til I have the $$ to really rebuild her right..w/ a 13B turbo'd, wide body, rims & tires, better brakes, etc etc...

 

[RiceWagon25]

I miss my '98 Jeep Cherokee Sport the most. After I had given it a 3" lift and ran some 34" General Grabber tires on it, it started to feel little sluggish. I added an AccuratePower 4.6L Stroker kit to the 4.0L straight-six and not even 2 months later, I complimented it with AccuratPower's Supercharger kit. My little Jeep dyno'd with 294hp and 370 lb/ft of torque after that. So much fun beating fox bodies at the track with mud slingin out of my tread blocks... I really miss it, but then I drive my protege and forget all about it for a while again.

 

[YlowP5]

I kinda miss my '93 Isuzu Amigo. It had no HP, 2WD, and a crappy Manual Tranny, but it was a fun little "Sport Ute". I really miss my '93 Kawasaki Ninja 650R... I wish I hadn't crashed on HWY9 in Saratoga, CA.

I hate to sound cliche... but my P5 is probably the most fun car I have owned. I only wish that it had a few more ponies under the hood. At least it sounds great with the Injen CAI Not to mention all the HP the Xelderx Billet antenna and DaveB Gauge Rings add.
