Miss my 1980 Jeep CJ-7, 4 cyl, 4 spd. Bought it new while in the Army at Ft. Hood in Killeen Texas. Would take it off road to some pretty off the beaten path places. At Death Valley going to the old "Hole in the Wall" hide out area it was so bumpy, put it in low transfer, 1st gear and got out and walked for a ways next to it... Now typically the only way I get way off road is by hiking. Have a 4x4 truck for getting into the muddy / snow covered job sites and such.

I know I miss my lumina. It was nothing fancy what so ever but it was my first car I had. I had it for two years, almost three.

Had 86 regal, got front ground effects from Buick dealer. Took old rear spoiler from 86 Monte ss. Everywhere I went was asked what year my grand national was?

I miss my 98 Bright Purple Camaro with t-tops.

Just couldn't justify keeping it while getting the 2013.
