August 14, 200718 yr Flybrian= >>"I'm sorry"<< Wasn't so bad as all that: real base trim 4-dr yet had the Super Six 2bbl, 1-tone (bronze), painted roof, no vinyl bodyside moldings or extra trim, a real GI type, esp after I put fat blackwalls & the bullethole 'cop caps' on it. Just after I got it, I pulled up at my regular junkyard and that car cleared the place out. Took about 5 minutes before the guys crept out- they thought it was an IRS bust. Dad picked it up: 8 years old & only 8K on the odo - it was brand new. After x-years passed he gave it to me: I only had it titled in my name for about 6 months before I replaced it with my next daily driver: 09. 1964 Pontiac Catalina (still own)

Plymouth Voyager - this was a great little van, we had some trouble with it in the end though. 1995 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight - became my first car, but by the time I got it (2003), it had developed a myriad of problems. 1996 GMC Savanna - Not nearly as reliable as the Plymouth van. 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue - The "newest" car in our house. It has been poorly taken care of and has some minor electrical glitches. Other than that its seems to be fine. 2001 Dodge Intrepid - My current car...it has some minor electrical glitches that only seem to crop up when its really cold and the transmission isn't in the best shape, otherwise its reasonably solid. 2002 Pontiac Bonneville - The thing is apparently bulletproof. 2003 Ford Taurus - Apart from the transmission trouble (it was on its third) it was an alright car before it got wrecked. 2003 Pontiac Vibe 2005 Chevrolet Equinox

'I Try To Think About Elvis' Yes, they were mine. I didn't buy any of them though. All but one were free, and the one that wasn't I took as a part trade. I still haven't ever laid down cash for a FWD, and I never intend to. You can see them here: http://www.cheersandgears.com/forums/index...?showtopic=6734 And some of the others on my list in these threads: http://www.cheersandgears.com/forums/index...5&hl=Camino

September 16, 200718 yr Ever since you and SP met me I've been a bad influence. I remmebr when you were a nice, functioning member of society who drove a respectable FWD V6 powered Buick that averaged 26 MPG. Now look at you, brings a tear to my eye. Now the next step is to get SP out of that FWD Mopar and into a DONK Caprice!

January 7, 200818 yr That must have been when you were a renaissance man. It was just a beater I took in trade.
January 7, 200818 yr No, not all in a row - I just listed cars as I recalled them. All of them were beaters, but reliable beaters. Olds was always my knee-jerk choice when I needed a cheap car in a hurry.
January 7, 200818 yr Author No, not all in a row - I just listed cars as I recalled them. All of them were beaters, but reliable beaters. Olds was always my knee-jerk choice when I needed a cheap car in a hurry. For me it's Buick. Reliable, low cost (purchase, repairs, maintenance, etc), and most importantly, they usually came from old people who took great care of them. None of our Buicks have ever let us down. Yeah, they float like a boat, but when cruising down I-5 at 80+mph, the cops ignore it and I feel like I'm sitting in my living room relaxing.
