First time I ever saw your old car was in the September '11 5.0 magazine long before I ever made it over here. Quickly became one of my favorite cars especially with the sleepers. So so clean.
Let’s see some pics of former cars you now regret selling.

My DSG '03 Cobra! 
No pics unfortunately. But back in high school I had a 72 Olds Cutlass. At the time it was just kind of a neat car, really nice interior, console, floor shifter, nice gauge layout etc. The only issue was rust around the wheel wells ironically the rest of the car was mint. I saved a bunch of money and had two new full quarters put on and in primer from a local well known body shop. During the downtime I started building a pro-street Nova (this was the late 80's ya know, lol) so I sold the Cutlass to free up some cash. Of all the cars I've had since...including some high HP drag cars that were like show vehicles, I miss that one the most. I'll get one some day and rest-mod it.
The idea of drag racing in an auto DSM started towards the end of my time with them... but the guys that made the switch were FAST. 9s and 140+ fast.
Even to this day, you can build a 10 sec DSM for well under $10k including the price of the car.
Having your first kid does things to you. LOL
My Dad bought a '68 LTD new. 2-door - dark blue metallic (Presidential Blue?) with a black vinyl roof. 390 2 barrel C6. Stainless duals with glasspacks. Loved that car. It was faster than most cars and was a great highway cruiser with room for 6. I was quite pissed when he sold it. Someday I'll have one...probably with a pro-touring twist.
Probably my mystic teal 1998 Camaro Z28 . I was 18 and worked at Taco Bell part time for like 7 months stashing away $300 paychecks until i had like $3500 saved, Sold my piece of shit wrecked and dented to hell 1991 Camaro RS for $700 and picked this up for $4200. It felt really great working for something and getting it. Ended up selling it for some stupid ass clapped out 1995 Mustang GT that i regretted as soon as i pulled into the driveway. Holy crap it was dumb. Then 2 months later the transmission blew on the 95 GT and ended up having to sell the car for $500. Still to this day one of the dumbest things i've ever done.
I’m with you here. My two most missed cars are my 71 Olds Cutlass and my 2001 Saleen S281SC. Both were beautiful cars! Modded the Olds to death and the Saleen was pretty quick till I found out about the Terminators. Loved those cars! Have to see if I can find some old pics.

1993 Mazda RX7. I owned it from 1999 until 2006. Bought it completely stock and built it myself. Not only was it a total head turner, but was crazy fast and so light.
Yeah one of the reasons why I want one and I love the 4G63
I miss my ‘91 LX Hatch a lot, don’t even have any good pictures of it.
I was already missing my ‘14 GT a little and then I saw the most recent picture of it and now I am really sad.

Those cars surprised a lot of V8 guys back in the day
Yeah too bad we had no cell phone cameras back then
I have several I regret selling. However, for some reason I'll have a dream about going back to the old family home I grew up in and in the garage is my first corvette. I hardly ever remember any dreams I have, but for some reason I'll have the same dream about every two years or so. I bought it when I was 17 with a screwed up engine and did 5 different engine swaps in 2 years. I had it when Prince song came out Red Corvette and the girls gravitated to it. If I knew them well enough I would throw the keys to'um. That car did land me the x-wife and nearly got my license revoked. Countless memories in the 2 plus years I had it. Not many pics left, but wow thinking back 35 years ago!

One more shot with the 67 Galaxie. Out in dad's driveway doing who knows what under the hood. Probably 1974. That's my baby sister with a mouth full of something.
This cammed and stalled beast.
Had to sell it because we moved to an apartment while waiting for a house to be built and the apartment complex would not allow three cars. (We wanted the kids to start school in that school district).

2013 NC Club... odd thing is I haven't sold it yet, but the dark side/fox bodies are calling me.
The oem lsd is hilariously tight under power. Bone stock powertrain, but on it's 6-yr old tires it rotates/powerslides like nobody's business. Dirt cheap fun...
Good weekend toy there.
I'm not getting rid of anything again. I'll just move to a house with a steel building as the collection grows.
