Technology Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 My Conquest. It was mechanically sound, but the body needed work and I needed to have fewer distractions. But I sometimes wish I had kept it. It's ok though. Gotta do what you gotta do and there are others out there, so I can buy another one if I want.

importwarrior Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) i had a 88 starion that was from Arizona and in mint condition.i got it for $500 because the previous owner said the piston ringsare bad. it keeps blowing the dip stick out and spraying oil all overthe place. I fixed it for free. and drove it until i got hit one night bya Cinder block that some one tossed in to my path on the bridgeover pass. hit the hood, middle of drivers window, then where the windowand front roof line meet. then took out the radio antenna. i was doing 65 to 70 when it impacted the car. bent things up pretty good. cops say it was a gang initiation thing. well i was depressed and no one wanted to fix it so i sold it. miss that car more then anyother i have had maybe except my 1992 25th anniversary RS Camaro B4C 1LEFBI car. 1 of 17 made for the FBI.

jjohnson Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 My 72 lemans I bought it from a neighbor that had it sitting in their back field for $50. Fun car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidjc Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Didn't really sell it?... Blew it up @ the drag strip, & my Mother stated that I would not put another dime into that car (hot rod), that I would have to get something more dependable. So I bought a 1968 1/2 preleminary to the soon to come out 1969 Boss 302. Only mine was a couple c6 trans, w/ hydrallic lifters. Gotta go... work... J.O.B.

starquestJOE Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) I would have to say either my yellow 88 auto conquest or my 95 Evo3 RS. the whole deal with the yellow car never sat well with me and I should have just kept it. http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww135/starquestJOE/yellow88/P4270108.jpgThe Evo I should have never sold because Jill never see another one. I sold it only cuz I was working on my red 89 more and zoning nothing with it at the time. I got tired of looking at it sit so I sold it. Last I knew it was in calihttp://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww135/starquestJOE/EVO%20III/P5140809.jpg Edited January 14, 2014 by starquestJOE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malykaii Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I miss my Comanche, but I don't regret junking it. It was a pos and needed motor. Decided to part ways and find a nice one when it shows up. Then I found a mustang gt for half of blue book by accident... oh well. I do regret building my montero turbo though... Its a rust bucket. I should have junked it years ago and found an Arizona one and built on that. I was young and a newb. Kind of the inverse of what you asked... but my only vehicle regret of sorts. Do cars my parents sold count? Cause I can prob name 10 I regret them selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malykaii Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Oh, and to all whose first car was cool enough to miss... lucky you. Seriously! I got a hand me down 500 $ minivan. Glad its gone. Can't be cool in high school with a mini van. (At least in nyc, no one in my class had a car at all, so I was still ahead) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

87redcat Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 My 81 Escort used to get 50MPG on the road. I miss that. Sold it in 97 when I got my 92 Explorer. Got front ended by a lady coming out of a pain clinic. She cut across the road and never looked, slamming into my front right fender. Never ran the same after that. Engine shook. Sold it. Miss the cargo space and my stereo...And if we're counting parents cars... My dad had a 57 T-Bird. Sold it cause mom didnt like it... A week later he saw it in his buddies body shop. Wrapped around a telephone pole and smashed the entire driver's side... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Quest Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 First Car was a baller 1985 Toyota Celica GT. I Had some amazing times with that car and did some fun things to it. BUT I was young and eventually wrecked it. http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk59/crazy8t/IMGP0843.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techboy Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) My first car was a Dodge Aries ... biege. Worst car ever, couldn't sell it fast enough. (If it would have been the rare turbo model, that could have been fun). Regrets .... I had a 91 Eclipse GSX a few years back that I eventually sold to buy my first Quest. Although I love Quests, sometimes I wish I wouldn't have sold that car. Parts were much easier to come by, and there's just something a/b. those 1G's with the pop-up headlights. It was blast to drive and hugged corners like crazy. Saw it on CL a few years later ... but I don't know what happened to it after that. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/585/53ya.jpg Edited January 15, 2014 by techboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rastraman Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I miss my Blue 1989 Dodge Conquest. I just got another one but this one is automatic and I'm going to turn it into a manual. Hopefully I csn stop missing my blue Conquest with this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-R-Quest Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 First vehicle I owned... '65 ford pick up. Paid $200 for it. Drove it to school. Had a 289, 3spd on the column. Only ran on 7 cylinders, so it wasn't exactly powerful either. It was also multi-colored; Red cab, blue fender, primer grey bed. Was glad to get rid of it. As far as a car I regret selling... 1971 Challanger. Sold it when I was stationed in Germany. Like 87redcat, the new owner wrecked it within a week!

dmyers151 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 First car was an '89 Fiji SHP. Sometimes regret selling it, but it was a problematic car and not practical for a 16 year old working part time. Here's a picture of it 8 years after I sold it. Found it back up for sale on CL:http://i471.photobucket.com/albums/rr71/dmyers151/Fiji_Conquest.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloud81918 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I sold my first "car" this spring. It was a '78 Dodge 3/4 D200 Custom Camper Edition that belonged to my Grandpa. It had a 318 with a 4 speed and HD axle with overload springs He had special ordered it and it was made about 3 months before I was born. I held onto it since I got it in 1995 or so. When I was little I had been across the country a few times in it and had ton countless fishing and camping trips in that truck. Over the years I had done a lot to that truck, and learned a bit about maintenance and mechanical work. I thought it would be harder to let it go honestly, I had kept it for so long. But really it wasn't to hard at all. Once we had our second child it no longer made sense to have the old truck around. The family couldn't fit in it. It wasn't run enough, so every time you used it you had to piddle with it as well. So if you needed the truck you had to make sure you had time to mess with it to get it to run. After selling it I bought a 2000 Silverado 2500, extended cab, 4 door, long bed, 4X4. It holds the family and starts every time. While the old truck had lots of fond memories with it. When it no longer was usable I let it go pretty easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viper1355 Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 (edited) Can't say I really regret selling any of my cars. I wish I wouldn't have had to sell my first Fiji quest, but after it was wrecked I knew I couldn't fix it. The closest I come to regretting selling was my 89 YJ. That thing was actually pretty nice by the time I sold it, but I doubt it would have made it cross country, and I know it wouldn't have passed smog in Denver. Plus I'm sort of done with the Jeep thing Oh, and my first car? A 94 cavalier with a 3.1 and a 3 speed auto. It was purple and had a dent the size of my torso in the quarter panel...so no I don't regret selling that. I wish I had never bought that pile, lol.

dukaine Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 My first car was a 83 Shelby charger. My mom thought because it was a 4 cylinder it wasn't a fast car. Any lots of hot dogging later I blew the trans and sold it. Anyway do I miss it well I am buying another 83 Shelby charger locally this week but not the same car lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burton Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I don't miss my first car, a 1983 Nissan Stanza, but I do mis a number of them I had after that... 83 Dodge Challenger with the 2.6- found the frame was very rotten, so my parents sold it and got me another car 87 VW Scirocco 16v- Loved that car, but blew the head gasket and it was going to be around $2k for the dealer to fix, so my parents made me sell it and got me a GTI. 87 Nissan Pulsar NX- had a ton of fun in that car, but I blew up the tranny so it had to go bye-bye.

NikoFab Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 My first ever "car" was a 1976 GMC 1500 Series with a three inch lift, 39 inch tires, and the most rust you've ever seen. But man I loved that truck. I know this next one might not be popular on here, but I do miss my Honda S2000 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikoFab Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 87 Nissan Pulsar NX- had a ton of fun in that car, but I blew up the tranny so it had to go bye-bye. Had the exact same year Pulsar...that was a fun little car. No power at all but the T-tops made up for it. That reminds me...I also miss my Nissan 2000NX...now that was a super fun car.
