A black 1985 chevy celebrity eurosport with a sunroof. It was a great car that I put over 300,000 miles on.

Mine was a '72 Duster with a slant six. Later when I "matured" We let the car grow up and put a 340 in it....

A Red 1997 Suzuki Sidekick. Took it everywhere, offroading and on roadtrips to Montana and the like, then I forgot an oil change and the motor seized.
I really miss that car

1981 VW Rabbit, puke orange. Best pic I could find of one kinda like it below:
My wheels were stock, and the thing was rusting out, but that's definitely the color!!

Nope, it was just regular old gas. Although diesel engines were all the rage back then!! Originally Posted by rwreagan

lol RDS and Greg! It was a faithful, hardworking car and I actually liked it - it was the first (and only) car I ever snuck out before I got a license...
Hey MP, my second car (1977 year model):

My first car was an '86 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz, but there was nothing ritzy about it, ha ha!! I ended up naming that car Christine, if that tells you anything. To this day, it's the only car I ever drove that "magically" ended up with more gas at the end of the trip than it had at the beginning...without refilling!

Christine was a 57 Plymouth fury, my dad had a 72 fury as his first car, not bad cars at all. Furies were s police car for some time. A lot of agencies used em in the 60s and 70s
