List you rides from over the years, Got pic's ?

[m1949]

Too many to list them all. I was addicted to cars until I lost my vision from macualer degeneration when I was 42; and with it my driving privilege. But here is a partial list in the order I owned them as best as I can remember between 1967 and 1992, when I lost my driving privilege. Of course, the 06 Esky build is my baby ..... but my wife will be doing all the driving!

1. 1950 Ford Coupe with flathead V8 and "3 on the tree."
2. 1965 Comet Caliente
3. 1967 Ford LTD
4. 1969 Ford XLT fastback
5. 1970 Comet Cyclone GT
6. 1967 Ford F100
7. 1975 Granada 2 door hardtop
8. 1970 Corvette
9. 1967 GTO
10. 1970 Pinto
11. 1976 F150
12. 1979 Cougar XR7
13. 1980 Buick Riveria
14. 1985 Ford LTD with Police Package
15. 1989 Ford Club Wagon/Van
16. 1985 Merkur XR4Ti
17. 1984 Mustang Convertible
18 1966 Mustang
19 1990 Taurus
20 1992 Lincoln Continental
Many of these cars were weekend rides as I had a car provided by my employer most of the time. In addition, I had a smattering throughout these years of old pickups and project cars that I can't specifically recall.

You made the right choice. It was fun, and I loved having a fast wagon, but I'm a BMW guy at heart and not being able to do donuts at will was a letdown. And the GM/Saab combo worked out in ways that was profoundly annoying. Packaging was a nightmare, etc.

Was????? LOL

I got a guy on the GMT360 forums looking for a turn signal switch for his Saab 9-7x, which is solely, and wholly, unique to the 9-7x. Got a GM part number, but GM says the truck, and the part, never existed!

Wow, just wow. That marriage was a rough one. Step 1 for changing the spark plugs on my 9-3 with the V6T was "drop the front subframe". Yeah, no.

I was at the Denver Auto Show when GM had the 9-7X on display. I was with a buddy of mine and was commenting to him about how stupid GM must think their customers are to try to pass a Trailblazer off as a Saab. It was as if they understood *nothing* at all about why people buy Saabs. There was a beautiful, and I mean beautiful woman standing near us and apparently overheard our conversation. She came over and said that we weren't the first people to say that, and then wanted to know more. It was then I noticed that she was a GM employee and she mentioned that she was part of the Saab product team. I guess GM wanted to forget the whole thing, in hindsight. Nothing wrong with a Trailblazer, but it ain't a Saab.

I personally think the 9-7x is superior in a few ways to its kissing cousins. Double pane, double laminated door windows (borrowed from the Envoy Denali). 2+ inch insulation used in doors and quarters (borrowed from the Envoy Denali). The radio bezel is the easiest to take out on the 9-7x. In can be done in a couple minutes, all the cousins are 1+ hours (taken out properly). I think the ride is better, less floaty. I think they have different springs maybe?

[drakon543]

some are obviously pictures of pictures but those are some of the pics i still have of past vehicles. i still have the accord and the bike those are much more recent.

 

[drakon543]

my civic was a great car spent a bunch of money messing with that but i never went far as it was still more of a dd. and that red hunk of sh** we barely had that a year before it died

I had to pay $3 a month for photobucket to give me access to my account but I found half my cars and my goodness the memories! Can you tell I miss them? Most recent
