    • Well, there is a list of all the cars I have had in my profile, each fun in one way or another, but for the highest fun quotient it would be the '70 Z28 base full bumper with only the Z28 option and 4 on the floor, with deleted pollution equipment, Mallory dual points

  • Well, all of my new cars have been better than the one they replaced. But I do have a soft spot for my 2000 Saab 9-5 Aero Wagon. Fast, great handling, beautiful and roomy. *NM*
  • I only ever had four cars in forty-odd years of driving. *LINK*
    • Nice reminiscences, with pictures even! We had the Cortina in Canada for many years, in the end replaced by the first-gen Mercury Capri. I recall they were all that colour, too! *NM*
    • Terrific story. Thanks for sharing. I am not familiar with the cars you describe but agree with your philosophy of long term use. My experiences of "long term" only range from 10 to 13 years and around 135K miles, though. Congrats on your greatly extended time frames! *NM*

  • My 1973 Mustang notchback, 351 Cleveland H.O., 4 speed, 3.91:1 locker. Really impressive musclecar for a 17 year old to have back in 1989! Sold it in 1990, haven't seen it since. *NM*
  • 1968 Z/28 Camaro *NM*
  • 1970 1/2 Camaro Z/28 I t-boned a 66 Pontiac lemans that pulled out of a drive way. I was going 45mph. I miss that car terribly and had dreams for years that it came back photo in 1974 *NM* *PIC*
    • I feel your pain, George. My '70 Z28 was T-boned on the driver's side by a teenage girl that ran a 4-way stop sign one evening back in the day. It took forever for the morons at the giant Houston Oldsmobile dealership's body shop to repair it to sort of close to acceptable
