1991 VW GTI. I miss this car everyday. Built 2L 16V motor, made a whopping 210hp to the tires and would rev to the moon. Weighed next to nothing and handled like it was on rails.
Let’s see some pics of former cars you now regret selling.

2004 350z. I loved that car because you could dog the piss out of it and it wouldn’t blink an eye.

Have to love the 13/14 GT500's. How long did you have the it for?
Just put this webpage together a short time ago. Wish I had a crystal ball way back when.Check it out ...

Very nice group of machines. How do you like that Type R? I was thinking about getting one of those but just got a basic SE Corrolla instead.
Holy crap, that body style, or a close variation of it, has been out for a long time. It certainly gives it a nice timeless look. I loved the old 300's, like the TT 93's. Great cars. I loved the older Supras too.

Justin, I remember your Cobra well. Must have been tough letting it go. You've actually had a lot of awesome rides that you probably miss from time to time.
I had an 04.5! Loved mine as well. Made a whopping 219whp but my god it was fun to rip on
I had it for a year and a half. Then I drove an S550...
Man, we got some stupid mfers up in here lol.
I don't have any pictures handy, but I'm definitely a contributor to the stupid.
Had a black 88GT that was literally flawless.....sold it for a ****ing IROC-Z. Told you I was stupid.
White 91GT, cammed, heads, LTs, c/os, full 5-lug swap, etc.....sold it for some stupid reason I can't recall.
My Sonic Blue '03 Cobra I regret getting rid of, but it was out of my hands. Divorce is ****ing expensive.

It was my first car so it was pretty quick for me at the time. I have been thinking about purchasing another one but it would have to be the HR and straight piped lol.
Absolutely! I really want a twin turbo Nismo370, just cuz lololol. The VQs sound great.
Hardcore Dodge Guy who said he would never sell her went back to his Roots. 2005 Magnum RT 5.7L. Conservative 450 crank Inertia Motorsports Cam Heads-lowerd-Full kooks ans stainless flowmaster exhaust. SRT suspension, Brembos-getrag- 3.06 and 3.92. Only engine done with eagle intake to non eagle motor as no spacers and port matched tuned by Johan. The GT500 was just go much of a deal to pass up so traded the Magnum and my 14 Ram Sport to get it. Danny

Even though it’s was my problem child, I do from time to time, wish I still had it. 75 MGB (nicknamed it “big” as the B is considered the big model of the MG’s) convertible, metal bumper conversion, slightly bigger 2barrel carb, glass pack muffler. Ate fuel pumps like we go through copy paper. Put 5 fuel pumps on it and the combined total running time of all 5 fuel pumps is 3 hours. Then I was too big for it. I’m 6’2-3, and head is higher than the windshield. And if my foot was on the brake pedal it was also touching the clutch and throttle at the same time. But it was a fun little car, even with just 90hp. Traded it for my first bike and ironically they have the same displacement engine. The car has given the new owner very little issues which is a good thing. Miss that little car.

My local Costco's tire store manager has a black Magnum RT. He looks like he should be riding a mean Harley. He loves the car. I've always felt Dodge should not have killed the Magnum. It's a mean looking car, front to back. I don't ever remember seeing a red Magnum before, but I love it. A muscle car with good looks, hot engine and a lot of rear storage.
Not an issue with that car, besides the fuel pump problem. We made sure of it during its restoration.
Pick your poison.
I loved those cars. I test drove a friends '74 sometime around '79 to purchase.
Know what it did on the short test drive? Burned a wire. We never figured out which one, but as you know the smell is unmistakeable.
Yes, they’re plagued with those problems. I quite liked the car, but the fuel pump issue really got under my skin.
I will admit that the guy I traded it to had an issue with the turn signals. But that was a quick fix and he loves the little car. Talks about slapping a turbo on it. To which I tried talking him into putting the optional 3.5L Rover V8 in it, but he seems set on the turbo. It’s also a factory air car, but I didn’t add the compressor.
Pick your poison.
The MG talk reminds me of Pops's story about putting a 327 in an MG TD with his dad.
Makes me very jealous of how cars were "built"/"worked on" back in the day vs now

I have car ADD so I'm always changing things up. I do miss a few though:
Unicorn Evo IX MR SE (completely stock with ~20k miles when I sold it)
Obviously wish I would have kept my 03 Cobra
_MG_6328
2003 WRX Bugeye - it was one hell of a daily driver that felt more like a gokart.

Very nice looking Zinc Yellow Cobra. And a great photo!
