RE: Anyone miss a previous car
I had a 96 toyota tacoma V6 automatic, was my first vehicle it really had nothing done except for speakers and a nice headunit. I sold it after the major raise in gas prices. I went through so much with that truck at one point I drove it off a cliff, cracked the transfer case in half twisted the drive-line and sent the frame through the front bumper, anywaise talk about reliable after that it drove home as battered as it was. Then I rebuilt it drove it for a few months then sold it. I loved that truck

RE: Anyone miss a previous car
i miss my first civic, it wasnt anything special, it only had intake for engine mods, then it had coil over drop springs(-2") it had 14" rims(from previous owner), and it had halo tails, with matching headlights, overall it was a nice car, although auto, but i am pleased with my newly aquired stock crx, i want to build it myself, i will try to post pics. after i star the mod process this summer!!

I miss my old car a lot! Sold it because I was going to get married....then didn't! DON'T EVER SELL A CAR FOR A WOMAN!
'86 Monte SS
Complete restoration (father owns Body Shop
)
Disassembled the whole car, front clip, doors, trunk, lights, windows, then stripped to bare metal. Repainted frame in the engine bay. Car was painted GM Raspberry...(not pink). Bought new GM crate motor (ZZ3)350, 345hp/375lbs torque. Polished TPI unit from Street & Performance, Polished serpentine belt system. Street & Performance custom ECU made for my specific motor...ECU was said to add 25hp or so though I never put it on a Dyno. Hooker headers, Flowmaster 3" exhaust, Billet Specialties 16" x 8" wheels, Built Turbo 400 Trans, tinted windows, Denon CD player, RF amp and subs, Boston interior speakers(nothing crazy).
The car was pictured in Car Craft Magazine December '97. I just ordered a scanner today and should have it Thursday or Friday and will load up pics when I get it.

RE: Anyone miss a previous car
First car was a 93 nissan pickup truck had it lowered on 17's with a good sound system ... i hated and loved that car ... sold it because i was moving to colorado from north carolina and didn't feel like driving a lowered truck with no cruise control on the long trip ... went back and visited NC and actually got to drive my truck again ... haha so many good memories in that truck

RE: Anyone miss a previous car
i had a 1988 civic dx sedan it was painted candy apple red and i had a catback exhaust, headers, a short shifter, a racing clutch, a pioneer head unit with a 12 inch bazooka sub and a scosche amp, i also had shaved the side panel things and had performance spark plugs this car was not the fastest on the block but was a dream to drive. i lost it not to long ago some 15 year old unlicensed driver in a dodge ram that was lifted god knows how much rammed the **** out of my front end everything was destroyed cuz i was parked in the grass in front of a tree he gave me 1500 as of now and is giving me 500 more because i felt that 1500 just didnt do the trick for a civic with almost exactly 70k on it plus it had a lot of sentimental value it being my first car.
