Today is Valentine's Day and my question for everyone is: What is one car that you owned in the past that you really liked and what is one car that you would like to own in the future?
1992 F250 w/ 351 Windsor V8, I miss that truck everyday. The truck I want is a F250 with the 7.3 GODZILLA V8.
the gasoline 460?
they are still around

@clemsonrangers I had the little brother of the 460. Yeah they pop up from time to time I sold my 92 awhile ago. I have a 2015 5.0 currently but I wish I kept that 92.
My 2004 Prius since new. It’s not the Most powerful car. It’s not the sexiest car. But it got me where I needed to go. It just kept going with basic maintenance. What’s not to love about that?
As for the future. Hmm. I tell you one that is out of my price range. An old school manual transmission NSX as a daily driver. Most of these are museum pieces these days, because they are so valuable. And if there is one available, they are $$$.
70 Cutlass convertible
70 Cutlass convertible
1971 Porsche 911 T Coupe. 1986 Chev 1/2 ton 4x4 pickup with SB350, after market fuel injection, manual trans, power steering, power brakes, AC and a radio, nothing else electrical.
1963 Corvair Monza Coupe
1975 Buick Skyhawk
There have been quite a few. Off the top of my head...
1964 Corvair Monza with three-on-the-floor (Learned stick shift on that car)
1965 Rambler Classic wagon, 6 cyl (all seats folded to a flat surface - dads who remembered Nash wouldn't let their daughters near it!)
1965 Rambler Classic two-door hardtop, 327 4-barrel V8 with "twin-stick" transmission. (Surprised a lot of hotter cars!)
1966 Ford Fairlane station wagon (289 V8, three-on-the-tree, manual everything - took a real beating and kept on going.)
1965 VW Bug (To quote Jeremy Clarkson, "It's a Beetle, it's made by Hitler!)
1971 Datsun 510 (A much better economy car than anything else at that time. Too bad Nissan has strayed so far!)
1970 Subaru 360 (Tiny 2-cylinder egg with 10" tires, like a street-legal go-kart. My only car for a short time!)
1978 Subaru 4-door sedan (Funky car from before Subaru went mainstream, slow but near unkillable pushrod boxer engine.)
1982 Saab 900 (Company I was working for then gave me an allowance for a car. The start of 40 years with Saabs.)
1985-1986 AMC Eagle wagons (like mountain goats in the snow).
i went sparking in a fairlane lol
Absolutely love the Eagle 4WD wagon!
I miss my crazy and Roush 429. I would love to have a 66 or 67 mustang fastback.
Dang auto correct. I meant crx.
'72 Chevy C10 Custom Deluxe
'86 Toyota pickup 4x4
I want a Tacoma Off Road which will happen this summer.
My 87 Camaro, had it for 13 years, lived in it for almost 2 years.
Never got to put the subframe connectors or headers in (both got stolen) but aside from that I did all the upgrades I could. Fastest I got her going was about 165mph with 2k+/- rpms left. There's not much straight highway out here so it gets hairy fast!
Next up would be my 80 Malibu, I set that up for street/strip but was my daily. It had a cammed/decked 305, edelbrock intake, holley 750cfm, s/s th350, tci 2500 stall converter, b&m ratchet shifter, grand national posi rear(that was the last of 6 I shredded), energy suspension everything & a custom trans crossmember which only can be described as "structural steel".Ran open headers, no hood & it was flat black with purple flames. Got into my most exciting police chase (out of many) in that beast. My motto was "they're only getting me if I step on the brakes."
1973 Mercury Capri V-6. Loved that thang!! Was my first REAL car! Quick too!! Have tried to find one but they rotted out badly!!
