What cars do you wish you hadn’t sold?

Can I Post a motorcycle in this thread? i miss my 2011 Suzuki GSX 1250FA that I had tuned by holeshot performance. Was an absolute torque monster 105 ft lb under 2k rpm and an almost straight across torque curve to redline at 115lb at the wheel

 

Sweet I had a 68 1600 and that was a fun car!

 

My "barn find" 1974 Factory Soft Top FJ40. I searched for it for over a year. Ended up selling it because we bought this house and the city wouldn't let us put a carport in. I didn't want it to rust apart on my watch. Sold it to a doctor in San Antonio which was perfect because he had the money to put into it and liked to work on it with his son.

When we bought her and were bringing her home:


On my last day of ownership...

 

my 2011 Lancer Evolution GSR. The thing was simply a tank and the only time I ever got stuck was going up an insanely steep hill with about 12in of fresh snow at the top of the hill (i had about 4in ground clearance if that on that car lol).

 

I still give my mom crap for selling the 70 series 1 (aka 69.5) 240z. White, 4 speed, she restored it completely back to factory spec, I still have the registration for it, would love to find it one day... although the value on those have skyrocketed!
The reason she sold it was because my sperm donor (aka her ex husband) couldn’t drive it.... that’s right! It didn’t fit “the level of prestige he wanted” so he bought the most god ugly brown with tan soft top 911 carerra..... back when the NSX came out, my mom test drove it, and that didn’t have the “prestige” according to my father that a basic bitch 911 had....
All I can say is THANK GOD I HAVE MY MOMS TASTE IN CARS

 

Oh, if we're doing motorcycles... I SO miss my R65. First new motorcycle I ever bought.

This was a camping trip in the summer of 99; stopped to pay our respects to Uncle Sam (Wilson) in Troy, NY.

 

Oh man does that one bring back some memories!
My Dad has a 62 R50 that I drove all through College but had to leave there when I was done and moved on.
What a great time driving around New England on that one freezing my ass off routinely as I would forget a jacket in the Fall and Spring!

 

I had a 90 VW Jetta - 2door (rare car) with a GTI front end conversion, lowered, exhaust, etc.etc. It wasn't the fastest car but loved to be revved to high RPM and screamed. And handled like it was on rails. Unfortunately wrecked it in bad rain storm, had some bad tires on it and hydroplane off the highway.

Also had 92 Nissan 240sx coupe. My friend, brother, and I did a SR20DET engine swap into it. Very fun and fast car! Sold it when I got married.

I owned lots of other cars that I loved but those two stick out bc they are more special to me.

 

I would've bought a car cover........lol

 

1966 442
1969 SS Chevelle 396/375hp
1970.5 Z28 350/360hp
1971 El Camino (350 Tonawanda built engine).

 

All of them! But I really regret getting rid of my 2013 Tacoma.

 

I did - believe me. It didn't help.

 

‘71 SS/RS Camaro.

 

I had a 1984 BJ42. Diesel with factory power steering and 5 speed. One of 234.

 

1999 Toyota Solara. SE V6 with Leather and a 5 speed. You sell stuff like this when your wife is pregnant.

 

My second 1967 Camaro





still have this one

 

No pictures but had Ford 65 fastback and 71 mach1..

 

I should have kept my previous cars and just collected them. 1984 Z28 red. 1987 Jeep larado with hard & soft tops. 75 beatle 1991 Honda Accord special edition. 1994 Chrysler lebaron convertible. 1998 Jeep grand Cherokee. 2011 Prius. 2015 Toyota Tundra crewmax tss 2 wheel drive. I have had many I wish I still hadn’t traded in to get the next vehicle I think I will start being a collector now. My 16 Toyota Tundra, 15 sienna, 19 Camry hybrid, 19 Prius and 11 Prius. I have 4 kids 3 are of driving age. Nobody gets my Tundra. I’m finally getting ready for the next vehicle and I don’t want to trade in I want to add another vehicle in the mix. Maybe 2022 tundra? Or wait 1 more year for 2023 model after all of the next generation bugs are worked out

 

1994 Toyota Supra NA to TT
1994 Nissan300zx TT

Both amazing cars, still couldnt tell you which one I liked more......

 

1992 Mustang Coup, former Florida Highway Patrol car
2010 Audi S5, v8, car was smooth as silk

 

1979 F100 custom 2wd. Thing ate oil and had other issues but I wish I had kept it and spent time to wrench on it. I was in college and didn’t have the place to work on it at the time. Parts are so plentiful for that era of Ford I could have rebuilt it easily. No complicated electronics to mess with.

 

71 SS 454 El Camino
69 GMC Custom 10 (had oem under dash air conditioning)

 

Nothing as cool (or now as valuable) compared to some of ya'll here, but I'd still have my 2005 Wrangler to this day if I wasn't stupid. Learned a hard lesson about chasing mpg's to save money with that one when gas started threatening $5 a gallon and we traded it for a Civic. Dumb, dumb, damn was that dumb!

Really liked the 2000 Dakota ext. cab, it was maybe the most comfortable fit for me of any car we've had, and with the 4.7 V8 and 3.92 rear end it was a lot of fun. But after 10 years it was starting to have problems creep up on it. Same with the 2004 Grand Cherokee.

The wife's '13 G37 vert is likely to be our first that stays beyond 10 years, with our '14 4Runner right behind it!

 

My 71 Hilux was going through so much after I lost my son it just wasn't the same anymore. He was my cruising buddy

 

Pops had a '79 f150 Single cab LWB.

I loved that primered, green, rusty monstrosity. I remember being in the passengers seat at 10 years old, pops driving. I've got my whole ass arm out the window trying to grab weeds at 35mph down a country road.

Pops said "I wouldn't d..." Just then a weed hit the inside of my forearm. The soft part, y'know? I let out a wail that went so high it was silent. He chuckled and said...


Fast forward two years. I'm 12. Mom, and pop had both lost their jobs, and needed cash to pay bills. They had 3 hungry boys to feed after all. He ended up selling the truck for scrap metal...

 

My current 2019 Tundra after I get a 2022

 

My first car, ‘87 Volvo 740

it would’ve been a fun project a few decades later, I’ve seen some online with v8 swaps and whatnot

 

1980 Plymouth Trailduster.

 

1994 Pickup
