Yep, both cars. I put a whole gang of TRD parts into the MR2. A daily driver go cart that got 30mpg! About 160hp out of a 1.6l n/a.

1980 F-100 Ranger. 302 V8, 4spd RWD. Wasn't really mine, but when my dad bought a new truck, it could have been mine. I decided to pass on it and got a Ford Tempo instead, and the truck went to extended family. The Tempo was a more practical choice, but didn't have the coolness or sentimental value of the old truck.

On the other hand, if I had taken the truck, I might not have ended up with my XJ.

1972 Dodge Charger/360/Auto. Paid $100 for it and put another 1K in trans and other crap. Sold it for $250 in 1988 as I was young and stupid... 1973 Plymouth Scamp/318/Auto. Same reason as I sold the Charger.. 1977 Chrysler Cordoba/400. Red. Had the "Reesh Coreenthian Laather" interior as Ricardo pitched on TV.. Sold it in 96 for $300.

There were others, but I am depressing myself and I must stop..

Only have pics of the Charger for some reason.. Odd. Took the Scamp to college but never took any pictures. Strange.

1996 Impala SS, I bought her in '99 w/ 11K miles in pristine condition. Only drove her a few times, if I had it now it would be my DD. I also had a '80 Malibu that was straight and rust free. I was planning on making her pro-street but I bought a house and traded it to my landscaper for bushes and plants.

Back in the days when all the 4x4 pickups came from the factory already "lifted"

1998 Ford Escort ZX2 5 speed manual in "light pine green". Had about 150k on it when I got rid of it. Looking back, I wish I fixed the issues it had and kept it. That was a fun little car and I abused the crap outta it lol.

Great little car. Thought about selling mine several times but thankfully haven't. I'll probably keep it till the wheels fall off.

my 71 chevelle. it was straight and rust free. I blew up the sbc and sold the car to my dad. he let it sit around for awhile then sold it to a guy I worked with. last time I saw it ~8 years ago it was in sad shape sitting in the guys driveway. I doubt it had been touched.

My sister had one. She wishes she still had it too, but it was rusting and the engine was due for an overhaul.
