Whic of your previous cars do you miss the most?

[#878MSPChick]

I would have to say that I miss my 92 mustang 5.0. The car had a LOT of problems (which is the reason I sold it), but when ran properly, it was a LOT of fun to drive!!!

Dang 3 SHOs already!!! Great minds think alike. Granted mine was no where near 300 HP! Mine was basicaly stock save a chip, springs and open exhaust(more like competely hacked off after it rusted out in like 5 places)

WERD..... I miss my 84 Black GTI the most...

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.

Hey Junk Punch, was that the Audi that looked like a VW Corrado?
I know those were rare but wasn't that just called a Quattro Coupe?

 

[vodapas77]

I've owned 77 Monte Carlo, 85 Chevy Silverado, another 77 Monte Carlo, 93 Dodge Shadow ES, 95 Beretta Z26, 90 Mustang LX 5.0, 79 Chevy Cheyenne, 90 Beretta GTZ

Still own 93 Del Sol Si, 94 Firebird and of course the MSP.

Really miss the LX 5.0. A lot of fun to work on and easy. Had very few problems too. Once I put on the off road H-Pipe and tube mufflers it was incredible minus a samll drop in torque.

The Del Sol is back in IL so I miss it. I know there isn't much love for Del Sols, but that was the car that made me appreciate imports. Handling through the mountains was incredible. Sure on paper the MSP handles better, but the Del Sol was so predictable because of its weight. That's why as soon as I can the POS Firebird will be getting replaced by a 1st gen Miata.

i don't miss my old cars cause i still have both of them sitting in the garage. the only one i care about is the 1965 Ford Fairlane 500. two door hard top. raven black with black and red interior. 289 4v. flowmaster exhaust. love that car. ill never get rid of it. here is a pic.

 

[prospeed]

i miss my first car a 81 honda civic. i could not kill it. 5 to 6 thousand rpm nuetral drops every day. off roading with it. the stupid things i did when 17.

then my last car before the speed a 1992 volvo 940 turbo. faster than the msp plus rwd. i wish i was able to keep it but no room for 2 cars.

 

[garretts77]

1954 GMC PU was the first vehicle I had. I think I probably beat everybody when we are talking about working on a car too much. I have a lot of memories from that thing. Like the wheel breaking all six studs on the freeway and bouncing past my door! And the fact that an "Absolutely NO smoking" rule must be enforced since the gas tank is in the cab!

1986 Celica GT with 340,000 miles and running strong till the day I sold it.

1990 Integ was probably the most fun to drive though. Not very fast but with the suspension, it handled like mad...

I heart my p5.

 

[SImp3]

Miss my 1997 Diamante, probably because the exwife got and I paid for it in full, damn am I stupid.

 

[TURBO3WAGON]

I have two that I miss, the first is my old BMW 535is tricked out, M5 rear end, ect. The second was not my Mazdaspeed, but a 92 VW Corrado SLC VR6 15.00 in the 1/4 bone stock - nice car!

 

[jflo]

::sigh:: i kinda miss my dad's old black rav 4 L 5 speed...fun lil' SUV to drive and would've looked cool if i dropped it and put on some 18" wheels. miata is the car i miss the most even tho it's sitting in the garage...stupid accidents. somebody give me a job so i can fix it and get her running again and just sell the MSP so i can mod the hell out of the miata but i would miss the MSP too

 

[Phoenix5]

I kinda miss my 2000 Civic EX Coupe(yes,the car that everybody has and yes it was black), because by now it would have been so riced out.But unfortunately, it had some problems with it and after two weeks with it my dad finally convinced me that we should take it back to the Mazda dealership and get the Protege5.

It is a toss-up between my 1993 MR2 and my 1988 e30 M3. I would love to have both of them back.

[subaruwrx]

I had an '85 Toyota pickup. 22RE engine... Nice little truck. I also had a 2002 WRX wagon. Great car... I still cannot believe i got rid of it. Downpipe, exhaust, MBC, intake, Adjustable suspension...
The car was Fast, Loud and my wife hated it. I should have kept it.

However, the car i miss the most was my 1999 Subaru L Wagon. I had changed suspension, rims from the 2000 2.5RS, softer tires, CAI, Short shifter, new sway bars, brake kit in the box, stage 2 clutch in the box, and a JC sports turbo kit in the box. I should have never sold it. I miss that car so much. I had also changed the hood and bumper to that of the 2000 2.5RS and it looked so sweet.

I bought it new for 14,900 and sold it for 13,000. I am such a fool
