Cool My 1st time G.T.

Below is the only new car that I've ever owned

except for a 06 used GT that I got & had for just
short time & exchanged it for a new left over new 08 Black GT.
It wasn't abused like the 06 Silver one I had. (New is the way to go `if you have the $'s)
Thankfully the dealer hadn't processed my paperwork & it all worked out!

My 08 was a great ride for what it was. I worked hard to save &
get it. I had fun with it & then I sold it when a rich kid saw it and wanted it & offered me Big $'s
for it and his parents paid for it.
I kept it in top condition.
I had it only a few years & it had low miles.
I won't get another nice car until I get a auto bedroom (garage).
(Black is difficult to keep clean, even under a carport)
Now, I get company transportation & want to get
a new Camaro or used Corvette (?). Soon!
Oh, I've had lots of pedal bikes & also a old Honda Scramble 250
for Beach & Sand Dune fun!


Look 4ward to your post on your vehicles.

1967 VW Bug - first car. Recovered stolen vehicle, paid 75 for the impound fee and it was mine.
1972 Datsun pickup
1973 GMC Stepside
1977 Ford Ranchero
1979 Datsun 280Z
1979 Mercury Capri
1984 Nissan Pulsar NX
1993 Plymouth Voyager
1959 Triumph TR3
1987 Nissan King Cab E
2000 Ford Expedition
1994 Toyota RAV4
1995 Pontiac Firebird
2004 Ford Expedition
2000 Honda CRV
2006 Monte Carlo

Favorite? I'd get run out of town if I didn't say Monte Carlo. At the moment it fills the need of an empty nest guy that commutes 75 miles a day in comfort and style.

But I'd have to look at what era I was in at the time of ownership. The Ranchero was a great single guy car. Bought it for cheap when the 2nd gas crisis hit. 80s life in the fast lane was served well in the 280Z. The 2 Expedition SUVs were awesome family vehicles, my first ever back to back ownership. Best one to work on was the TR3 with its simple but quirky mechanicals. Longest owned was the 87 Nissan pickup, 23 years, rust an a head gasket did it in.

Worst vehicle was that 79 Fox body Mercury Capri.
