I looked around and could'nt find a thread for this. This is for the rides before your current that got away you either sold and wished you wouldnt have or got totaled/stolen ect... If this is a repost please direct me to it or if it needs to be moved please do so.

I'll start with 2 of the ones I miss the most.

91' mazda b2200. Had a mx-6 turbo set up on it lowered 4/5 on 17" caddy esclades with 225/45/zr17s. Miss it alot sold it and my 250r thats pictured in it about 3 years ago I really regret it.




94' Civic 4 door.Integra gsr swaped with b16 99 si trans. lowered on tien suspension and motegi mr7 with 205/40z16s. Had hids and si wanna be tail lights. had a mugen header and skunk2 cat back. other then that a clean fun semi fast car. Oh and the spoiler was a honda oem optional one before I get any  :pokinit: for it.

before lowering on konig wheels.



after lowering and with the motegis.




Lets see them....

Don't have pics, but I wish I never sold my 72 nissan 240z.  Paid $250 not running, got it running poorly and sold it for $750.

Paging stocker... you need to scan some pics, I know you have at least a few pics of your regrets  :yupyup:

Both those look clean. I always loved the look of the 69-72 chevys and gmcs. Nice rides to every one else also. But do you love your current more then your old? Mine is 50/50. I hate it somedays because of the money in it, but others I love it when I pull out "fully built jeeps, rangers, ect.." or when I make people do the neck break twist when I drive past them.

Wish I still had my '65 Malibu SS with a 400+ HP small block.

Really wish i still had my FJ40. Never "finished" it but that thing was awesome in the snow and in the rocks.

BLACKDOG

Had a 1990 Dodge Ramcharger.  Got it in 2001 or so, when I was in high school. Got it from the original owner, it had 90k or so on the clock, 360, power everything. Sold it in '04 when I was going to school. Bought my yota the next year, and sold the dodge a year after that. Couldn't afford to keep the truck.

Wrecked my 02 F250 last march. I love my 06 dodge 3500, but I miss the ford sometimes. ( I know, shocker huh? ).

1972TLC

I've only owned 5 vehicles since I've been able to drive. A '93 Mazda Mx6 LS, a '94 Ford Ranger 4.0, a '86 Toyota 4x4, a '93 Mazda Mx6 LS (parts car) and a '95 Mazda Mx6 LS.

Still own the Toyota and the only ones I miss are the first and last.

First 6 got crunched in the front thanks to some black ice. Still have it. Holding on to it to pull the ZE out.



The last 6 got taken from me last Dec. I'd put a lot of time and effort into it and thanks to some jerk bag it was all taken away in a single second. >: (

the only reason i'm here today is because there just so happened to be a deputy driving the opposite way on the hwy and saw a car with its hazards on and no driver, so went to the next exit to come back and check it out. by the time he got there i'd been mauled and run over by my own car thanks to some jerk that was too tired to drive and drifted into the shoulder of the hwy and destroyed me and my car.

2.5 months in the hospital with trauma docs telling my parents to prepare themselves to never see me again.

apparently God didn't want me yet lol

I miss my old f-150. Truck never let me down with over 300,000 miles on it. It would still do burn outs and everything, gotta love that ol' 5.0. I beat the hell out of it for 3 or so years. I am still using the tires I took off of it before I got rid of it for $1000.









I still own every other vehicle/toy I have bought/been given. I buy stuff to keep it, not get rid of it.
