Memories + "Uncool" Cars
#12
I can HONESTLY say. I never had an uncool car or truck. I've had a 57 ford convert. 64 Ford Gal 500 390 with all white interior. A 1968 Ford Torino 289. Then a 68 Ford fairlane 428 4 spd. A 1974 Dodge Charger ( family car) 318. Also a 76 Monte carlo. And at a last min deal. A 77 monte carlo.Then a 1977 Dodge Van. Thats when the Kustom Van thing was going on. Then a 1980 Dodge van also Kustom. Then a chevy Pick up 350 with all the toy's. A 1995 & 96 Chevy suburban;s. Least trucks from Gen Motor's Employee thing. Then it was also a Ford super coupe T bird. 8 Harley's between my wife & I. Then a Ford Dually 4 door 8 ft box pick up Diesel. Then a Ford F 150 4 door. Then after selling the last Harley after our move to Minn. The Muscle car thing hit me. Thats when the Chevelle came into our lifes. Then her Royal Blue Cobalt. And now my Victory red M/C. Hell Now I'm getting excited. What"s next ? Camaro or Challenger ?????? . Or maybe another Harley. I guess time will tell.

My first car was a 1978 4 door Ford Mercury Monarch (Uncool), Then I had a 1980 Ford Thunderbird (Uncool), Then a 1981 Dodge 024 (Uncool but that little booger would run) then a 1988 Dodge Shadow (Uncool but it would get on down the road), Then a 1990 Firebird (Cool), then a 2000 Sunfire (Uncool, cheap and affordable car), then a 2001 Ford ZX2 (a Total peice of Crap), then I bought my 1978 Monte Carlo because I wanted something to be a Project car (Cool), and I also have a Go getter car which is our 1992 Chevy Caviler (Uncool but it runs great and it go's and gets it).

My folks bought a Chevy Vega new in '74. Even though I couldn't drive yet, I quickly realized what a PoS it was. What a dog! The Vega was replaced a year later by an Oldsmobile 'Land Yacht' station wagon. Though uncool, the Land Yacht actually turned out to be pretty fun during later years. Lots of room for hauling around friends... and stuff...
Augi - Don't want to hijack the thread, but I'm curious how your car got totaled by a truck backing over it??
