LOL, we had a '91 Geo- yes, GREAT gas mileage. Wish we still had it too. Traded for a brand new '99 **** truck (diesel)that starting dieing on us so traded it fora brand new'02 Dodge (alsodiesel)that runs great (knock on wood).

I think I'd like a car with a small diesel engine... I mean they're supposed to get really good gas mileage, and the engines have only gotten better with the advent of things like direct injection, etc

I kinda miss my 96 Pontiac Grand Prix SE coupe. It only had the 3.1 but I liked it anyway.

'57 BelAir (a real BelAir) 2-door Sedan I bought for $40 out of a guy's back yard and drove it home. It was all black with red/black interior, a 235 6 cylinder under the hood and a powerglide trans. That 235 engine purred like a kitten.

I wanted money to buy an engine for my first car so I sold this one to a guy I went to HS with for $75. He gave it a cousin who pulled the 6 cylinder and junked the car after he spray canned the entire car blue. It looked like -hit!!!

I'd also love to have my youngest sisters first car. A '68 PLY Sport Satillite convertible. 383 magmun under the hood with a 727 torqueflite trans. Blue with black roof and black interior. Bucket seats, console, floor shifter. This car FLEW!!! And I know it was fast enough to eat a '69 Road Runner w/383 under the hood. My parents made me sell it for $300. Oh the pain of it.

I can't compete with some of the other great cars in this thread. But the car I wish I had back was my '91 Cavalier Z24. It wasn't my first car, but it was the first car I really had fun with. Didn't make any appearance mods other than tinted windows and aftermarket sound system. I was more into performance mods. No nitrous though. Reliable as hell too. Never gave me problems.

Real fun to drive! Especially when trash talkers thought it was bone stock. Although, when I gunned the engine, it was obvious it wasn't stock. I'm not going to lie to ya and say I won every race. But a lot of trash talkers saw nothing but my taillights. Fun times.
