So great.1979 Mazda RX-7 (lived in Japan at the time so it was steering wheel on right side of car and had two seats in the back; US version didn't have a backseat IIRC) - sorta looked like this:

The RX-7 was a great car. I especially liked the style of the later versions. These are the 2000 model.1979 Mazda RX-7 (lived in Japan at the time so it was steering wheel on right side of car and had two seats in the back; US version didn't have a backseat IIRC) - sorta looked like this:

1965 Impala convertible. 327 V8 and 4 on the floor.
Family of 4 could have lived in the trunk.

Don't laugh - 1988 VW Fox Wagon. Absolutely loved that thing. That 1.8L ran forever. Had to junk it with 432K miles on it, no one would fix the unibody rust anymore. Kids and I stood at the end of the driveway and cried when they hauled it away.
I sold my 2004 F-150 back to the dealer near the end of COVID when dealers were overpaying for inventory. It was an “extra” vehicle. Garage kept for about 17 years. 55K miles. Nothing special. Just a truck. Not a weekend goes by that I don’t wish I still had that truck. A good used truck is worth a lot more if you don’t have one.
My first car - 1991 Cavalier Z-24. Unfortunately, I burned the trans and tires out so much racing that thing I couldn't keep up with the maintenance and repairs 
How are you selling it if you gave it away to your son 1.5 years ago?selling our beloved TT after 6 fun years to a bro in Houston

Selling it for him. He’s sick of sitting on 76 and is gonna train like a proper Philadelphian. My commission is a handle of knob.
this is what we swapped the TT for, also sold, sadly
I'm in the process of selling my 2003 Tacoma extended cab. It's very basic, manual transmission, cassette player, doesn't even have power windows. But it is V6 4WD so it gets me through any kind of snow and hauls whatever I want. It's like a faithful old dog, asks for nothing but there for me every time. I hardly drive it anymore so I should have got rid of it a few years ago but have an emotional attachment. If people were as reliable as my Tacoma the world would be a much better place.
It's hard to beat a Tacoma. I hope my 2021 serves me as well as yours served you. So far so good.
First car....1970 Mach 1 Mustang....needed some TLC and I loved fixing it!
I kept my 2003 Cadillac STS....As of today only have 96,000 miles and strong as ever.

Going to expose my vulnerability with this one. I was growing tired of being a poor grad student, and about the time I made the decision to head to the working world my 1985 Nissan Sentra was giving me some trouble. After getting it out of the shop and realizing it still wasn’t right I passed the Honda dealer in Iowa City on the way home. I made fun of people that drove Honda CR-Xs for years, but there was one in the showroom with a markdown tag on it. I kind of laughed and the salesman asked if I’d ever driven one. I said no, but said ok, what the hell.
It was so nice getting out of the unresponsive, sloppy starter car that I loved it. But I didn’t think I could even get approved for financing. I told the salesman, Tony Nucaro (I kid you not), that if he could get me financing I’d take it. He called the next day and said you’re good to go.
1991 Honda Civic CR-X Si in Tahitian Green. One of the last to roll off the lines for the storied model.

Second car. It was a 80 Mercury Cougar. Nothing to look at, but it had basic Ricaro bucket seats and a 5.0 (302cid?). Totaled it when someone ran a stale red light right in front of me. Never really owned a true performance vehicle. If I did, I probably wouldn't be around to post about it.My first car - 1991 Cavalier Z-24.
