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.

Cars I wish I had back: 56 Chevy faactory dual quads, 62 Catalina sedan 425A, 65 Corvette 350 hp, 67 Corvette 435hp, 69 Corvette 400 hp, 69 Z28. When you were young you had to sell what you had to buy what you wanted. Keep em if you can.

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.

Re: Near tears...And I miss my car (6 speed 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.
