Default I miss this Car

I saw old LeSabre today on the way to work and it brought back fond memories of my 89 LeSabre T-Type. That car was just cool.

Is there any car you used to have that you miss?

I used to have an 81 Buick Regal that I had done right up and still miss it. Everytime I see one for sale on my local Kijiji I think about buying it just to relive the memories lol it was the car that I spent the majority of my late teens and early 20's driving and racing

I am not sure about the '81 Regal was it the last of the big bodies or first of the smaller body, the pics on google showed both.

Mine looked similar to this one, mine was a T-roof and I had Cragar SS rims on it, with buckets seats and factory floor shifter. It was basically the predecessor to the Grand National and T-Type cars of the day, but they were a bit nicer than mine lol, I always wished I could have bought the grand national, not that mine wasn't nice, it was in pristine condition and I had the engine all done up and chromed up, but it wasn't a grand national lol

My '76 MC Landau like this one, but with wire spoke wheels. She gave me the inspiration to go with gen. 6's.
Poor thing probably died in a demolished derby

You know I use to say I miss this or that car but they all gave me problems, truly the Monte is been by far the most dependable car anyone in my family ever owned. Now since this subject is missing a car I am now missing my Monte lol I'm gonna go out for a cruise in it around town.

Of the cars I've owned, I miss my 1991 Z24. It wasn't the fastest car in the world. It was bone stock. But I had a hell of a lot of fun in it.
