1989 Jeep Cherokee, I bought in 8/01 just before i got my license. Traded it in after too many problems in 3/02 for a new Neon. the high gas prices after 9/11 had something do do with it!

1968 VW Bug. I still have it, but it needs a restoration-and it is low on my list of priorities to do so.

Still got my first one...1923 Model T Fordor sedan. Bought it in boxes for $100 in '63, and it's still not done. Got it running and partially restored, then parked it in a friend's barn for over 25 years. It went to seed. Brought it home, and now I'm slowly re-doing it. Kinda fun working on an 80 year old car. Now one 30 x 3 1/2" tire costs more than $100 ! Anybody got any 'T' parts laying around?

Mine was a 1975 Ford Elite with a 351 Windsor. I was all important and what not because I had rear defrost and my mom's car (1975 Mercury Montego, the same freaking car) didn't.
