2001 Subaru WRX. Lowered, 18 inch wheels, boost controller, de-catted turbo back exhaust, TurboXS Piggy Back Programmer. Lost to the bank. 600.00 a month payments killed me.



1994 Honda Del Sol SI.

1994 Firebird Trans Am. Falling apart, but loved it.

Of Course 2004 Monte Carlo SS

my 89 riviara. little did i know at the time it had a 3800. if i had money back then i would have supped it up. that thing road like a cloud, and had a oem toouchscreen with every controll. it was a brown metallic, color with brown interior. i junked it at 189,000 miles, still regret it to this day.


i dont have any digital pics or i would post um, it was my grampas car so you could imagine it was clean as a pin.

i had a lot of good times in the back seat of that car.

I miss my 1993 F150 XLT. It had over 170,000 miles on it and ran strong. I never had any problems with that truck and it took me and whatever I could throw into it wherever I wanted to go. I patched the rear wheel wells, put a new front fender on it and replaced the rad support. My dad and I made a custom true dual exhaust on it and it had long tube headers. You could hear the earth shake from a mile away, it had a really low rumble to it but it wasnt too loud. I bought it for 2800 bucks and sold it for the same a year or two later. It made the sacrifice for the greater good so I could bring the monte home.

Only get to pick 1?

Been lucky to have our hands on quite a few of the old muscle cars. If we'd only known what we had......but the 65 GTO is missed the most.
Loved, loved, loved that car. Mad at hubby for a long time after he sold it all those years ago. And the people he sold it to trashed it. I heard they wrapped it around a tree about 6 months after they bought it. Ugh! Poor baby!

matt that looks like a clone to my uncles old f150, only his was blue on dark blue on blue. flawless on the body and interior, he babied it like no tomorrow, but unfortinitly it had that ford factory dissapearing frame issue... he gave it to my cousin who beat on it & junked what was left.
