I have 3 cars ..a 1990 Volvo 760 turbo ownedfor 3 years
A 1986 Volvo 240 wagon owned 7 years and a 1981 MB 240d owned 2 years

If I was forced to give one up it would be the Mercedes with out a moments hesitation.

that is a shay, right?

i always thought one of those might be pretty cool. are they made well?

is that a scout chassis? if so,,, very rugged.

Add TOyota Camry to my list. There are sooomany of them around and usually driven by the 85 and up crowd with the wife in the back seat.
One of my driving tips is never ever pull up behind a Camry if you have a choice. It's not worth the stress of sitting at a light until it turns red again.

and a looong time ago I had an AMC Matador, the ugliest car ever built.

Hey guys......Geez...thanks a lot. I wouldn't call my Citroen "ugly"....maybe "different."

I had a '59 Triumph TR3 and everywhere I went, people would come up to me and say, "I had one of those.....," or "My uncle had one of those....." etc. Seems like everyone had a TR3 story. Now, when I drive the Citroen, folks ask, "What in the heck is that?" or "What year is your Volkswagen?"

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder......

theres a difference in being seen or owning cars........

i'v been seen in 80's Licoln Town Cars, but i would NEVER own one.......

i wouldnt be SEEN in...............Lada Niva....?

Trabants are cool.........especially if u find one with the original DDR 2-stroke engine, with factory equipped stick of wood with 2 nothches to dip in the tank, as fuel gauge, and no speedo, caus it was so slow u wouldnt need one......

A friend (who happend to own a GMC/Pontiac dealership) once talked me into buying a Pontiac. All I can say is that anyone who is considering buying one of these cars (or probably any GM car) should first take a look at how they "engineer" the headlight aimers. One look at those little 8-cent items should convince you that this is a car to avoid.

In contrast, I was overjoyed to check out the headlight aiming system on my MB 240-D.

It's the sum of all the small things that count.
