Default Near tears...And I miss my car

Its coming up on a year now and I miss her. She was a 90 383 I built two years ago and sold for a Dodge Dakota when I went off to college. Now I'm home for summer and reading the C4 For Sale Section and someone summed it up rather well...

Depressing

Dont ever sell your cars!!

Hey maybe someone out theres lookin to trade they're C4 for a clean Dakota?? :rolleyes:

Egh, its nice to be back to the forum tho.

Its true... I'd love to have back some of my past cars. But hey you can build new ones! My current vette I've had since right after college sometimes it was really hard to keep it while moving from different jobs and such but I did, a few refinances later, I still have it and always will. BTW your in my neck of the woods. My new office is in Overland park.

I miss my car and it's still parked in the GARAGE! It's been 18 months since it's been dependable. 383 buildup + dead tranny + Twin Boys = Parked Vette. :nopity

I relate...the biggest car mistake I ever made was trading in a 72 BB air roadster on a brand new piece o' crap 82 Camaro pace car....back then the 72 wasn't worth what bumper c3's are 2day.
Cheers, C,

My 55 Chevy convert was great also, but you can't keep them all. Sid.

So.. what you guys are really saying is... that I need to buy a few acres of land and a weedwacker?

;)

I don't want to sell any of my cars either.
