I made what I thought was a low ball offer on it an the dealer took it without hesitation. They were asking $11,999 and I offered them $9000.

:up:

Sometimes you win.

So, technically, it's not a car ...

Who cares?

Dodge power wagon, '50s vintage. Yes, the swivel frame option is a stock option in at least some of them.

I'll have a '68 Charger, in either black or British racing green. Surprise me.

Btw, you might wanna check up the steering chuck upgrades over @ firm feel, in particular this: http://www.firmfeel.com/b_body_mopar_sector_support_kit.html

It's the bee's knees, from what I've heard. The rest of their stuff ain't bad either.

While buying a new Toyota Celica for my wife, I asked God if it be His will, I'd really like to have a Toyota MR2. I forgot I asked God for one, but one year later I had an identical car to the one I looked at. It was one year old, black with only 14000 miles on it. I made what I thought was a low ball offer on it an the dealer took it without hesitation. They were asking $11,999 and I offered them $9000. I asked why they took the offer and they told me they had sold the car about 5 times but each time it was returned when the buyer found out how much insurance was. I kick myself daily for ever trading it in many years later. Fortunately, I have another blessing from God that I will not ever trade in.

I have a Toyota MR2 Spyder. This is my former car, which chicks dug, partly cuz it had an FM radio:

I can't begin to say how much better than looks than orange with a Confederate flag on the roof. Sorry nostalgia people, but that black beauty is much much better.

You got that right. Besides, the General Lee was a '69. '68's undivided grill looks a lot better to me.

That's the one. BLADE helped but ever since I saw BULLITT, this has been my fav. Saw one locally a few years back in all dark bronze. It was quite eye catching. I tell my wife every now and then that I want the above for my birthday but she just shakes her head and says how evil it looks. I just smile and say, 'Yeah...I know." But it's not like I'm driving this:

Though I would.

Then I'd cruise by Jimmy Brolin's house. :chuckle:

My first three cars, two Karmann Ghias and an MGB, didn't have an FM radio. My MGB didn't have a radio and my first Karmann Ghia had a AM / shortwave / longwave radio.

I owned this once. If you look closely at the front grill you will see a hole through which a hand crank could be inserted to start the engine if your battery was too low to turn over the engine.

I liked the TR3s, but I really wanted a TR4. Instead, I ended up with an 1966 MGB.

Saw this at a recent show. Lovely old car.

My dream car:

[musterion]

If you're interested, I think that's the same model Darren McGavin drove in The Night Stalker.

I saw this Pontiac Bonneville for sale a few days ago. It seems kind of pricey. The interior is in good condition.

If you could choose only one car which one would you choose Tom? :think:
