I wish I still had my 69 Camaro or my 74 Z28, had a nice 74 Nova too with the 4-speed. How about you? Oh by the way, I just joined today so Hello everyone!
Get an avatar faggit.

Had a 98 sierra single cab 2wd in high school. Had the big v8 350 vortec and a small light truck, it would shit and get. Turned it into a street rod setup, and 2 tone white and bronze color. Beautiful truck I’ll try to find a picture. sold it when I graduated and bought a brand new Impala SS that was the first year they came out with the new design 2006. My parents didn’t want me to get a true “sports car” cuz they weren’t stupid and knew exactly what I would be doing. The impala ss was the next best thing as the most powerful “4 door sedan” that was in my price range. Hard to believe now I bought that thing brand new in 06 for $26k and it was loaded as it could get at the time. She would get up to 145 fairly quick

I still have my 69 z28. I bought my wife years ago a 1968 firebird sprint car. It has the inline 6 overhead cam factory 4 barrel, convertible 4 speed. They only made so many of them. It’s a matching numbers car.
My favorite to this day that I still drive some is my 1982 Jeep scramble. Frame off 100% total restoration. 350 fuel injection 455 horse. It’s is a head turning machine.

Affordable cars. I don't care about style I just want something with wheels that move when I press the accelerator.

For years I've wanted something like a Japanese Kei car. I always thought these were cool:

New cars cost more than the trailer I live in.

Sure there are junkers avaialble at used car lots but I don't work on cars and would just get screwed. I'd pay 4 or 5 grand and then have to buy a new transmission or something a month later because the car is held together by string and paper clips.

A new car should be less than $10k.

I've had several cars/trucks over my 57 years of driving. I had a '66 Mustang in the Navy and a BMW later. Loved both. My favorite was a RAM 1500 I drove for over 346,000 miles. It had a 5-speed manual shift. Would still be driving it except the computer board was failing and Dodge stopped making replacement boards. I sold it to people from Mexico who wanted the stick shift to drive up and down mountains - probably in the drug trade. My mechanic said they would remove the computer board and all its environmental BS and replace it with a standard fuse box and drive it another 350,000 miles.

In high school, I had a red 1986 pontiac firebird with ground effects, the bird emblem, t-tops, spoiler and the V8.

It was badass. I can't find one that looks just like it but I had the bird emblem on the hood....

I waxed it at least every two weeks or so. it looked like glass. Good times!!

My 2 favorite cars are a 68 Pontiac GTO and a 78 Chevy Corvette. I know the ’Vette is still around but I’d love to have either of them.

Honorable mention to the 77 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am- the Smokey and the Bandit edition. Shoutout to the man, the myth, the Legend- Burt Reynolds.
