Out of the 4 mustangs, 2 Crown Vics, Grand Marquis and Capri, I miss my 87 Crown Vic the most. The mustangs were fun and had their respective good points but the Vic was just waaay too much fun. I bought it for 1200 bucks and threw some parts at it for a total of about 3500 and the car ran 14's, handled great, and looked basically stock. It was a great sleeper. Once I get a house and get settled there will be another Vic in the driveway. This time it's going to be a turbocharged 5.0 or maybe 351W. Either way it's going to look like granny's car but run low 12's high 11's.
 
Hmm thats tough.. Proabaly my 78 K10Blazer, simply because it's the only cool one I could legitemately afford along with my Mazda. and I actually know now how to fix what was wrong with it back then. and it's the opposite of my MSP.

I miss my '87 Isuzu trooper II 4x4, that thing was indestructible. 180,000 miles with out a single problem. not to mention a blast on the sand dunes in florida
 
hrmm... you pick which one I should miss, If I should at all ;) '85 Olds Cutlass Ciera Station Wagon (probably the reason that I bought the P5 though) or the '89 Olds Cutlass Supreme both cars sucked and a spent an assload on trying to fix them. They never ran correctly and always had a leak or something breaking :(.
 
That's a nice list of cars. I'd like to get an Impy just to have one. I alway had fun whooping up on caprices and imp's at the track. :D SHO's are nice too, buddy of mine had one. Really cool quick car.
 
88 RX7 Turbo II red with leather and sunroof...damn and i wasnt into imports then. i was going to replace the racing rims with chrome wheels before i decided to sell it lol.

Yeah both those are (puke) Don't bother missing those:D
 
Yeah the Impala and the SHO were loads of fun and they looked awesome and they were relativley rare but both of them had stupid problems. More than the b****y MSP owners could take me thinks. At least more than a 16-19 year old kid (me) could handle
 
I didn't have ANY ignition problems on either believe it or not. My friends could tell you some stories about theirs though! My favorite problem on the Impala was the Springs collapsing after about 8000 miles. Only on one side though so it sat Cha-Cha. Both mine and my GF's did that.
 
I've owned:

89 Jetta GLI 16V-from 91-95

95 200SX SE-R-from 95-97

93 Del Sol Si-from 96-02

98 Eclispe GS-T from 98-00

01 Audi A4 from 00-03

02 BMW 325i from 02-present

03.5 Protege 5 from 03-present

And I haven't gotten attached to or miss any of them.

my 1991 CRX-HF with a Japanese spec SI-R engine swap.......light, fast, dependable, and easy as HELL to work on. It was in perfect condition too.
 
all Honda's in my past 3 accords, 3 preludes, a civic

I probably miss my 92 SR Prelude or the 97 lude the most. Probably the 97 more.
 
<~~~1990 Taurus SHO...(rip differential)

over 300whp and a dead sleeper except for the dual exhausts. The looks on the Cobra and Z28 owners faces is priceless when you smoke them at the track and then load up 3 of your friends into your full leather interior with sound system and head off.


I also miss my 2000 Contour SVT with vortech 6psi supercharger. No sleeper, but fast enough to get out of town if I needed to. Now it's buried in "Upper Sand Mountain"...at least thats where lojack reported the frame was buried after the car was stripped.

My vic was similar. 200RWHP almost 300ft lbs-AND 24 mpg!, 4 friends, nice sound system. It was so much fun on the street. Donuts and powersliding a car that big was just awesome. I had a 302 .030 over with cam and TFS heads. Should have been good for 300hp. Then my wife threw a rod in her tercel and I had to sell my motor to get her her civic. :mad:
 
1991 Ford Taurus SHO (5 Speed)

First real car (other than the embarrassing rust and purple Caprice Classic that didnt turn off). Had to get rid of it because the engine mount kept going bad, and whenever you made a right turn you got a tremendous clunk (not to be confused with the MSP Clunk).

I also miss my 2002 Bonneville SSEi that I had for six months, that I lost due to the Lemon Law - sensors. That was a great car; smooth, luxurious, and pretty quick.
