    i miss my old baby. she was a 1993 GP LE with the 3.1. it was by far the best car i ever owned. i had to move to alaska for the military and i couldnt ship it with me so all i have left is my 05 GP. she still runs to this day strong as ever. when i got it i didnt think she would last me a year. 5 years later i had to sell it. sure it had a few things wrong with it. it leaked oil and tranny fluid when i bought her but when it was fixed it ran like new. the interior was falling apart. but as for the engine and tranny, best car engine GM has ever made in my opinion.

    Damn near every one I've had, and all that I've built.

    I miss my Camaro.

    Let me rephrase that: I miss my Camaro when it ran and I could drive it.

    I miss my first GP, a forrest green 98 GT. I wouldn't still be into Grand Prixs if it weren't for the people I met when I had that car. Everything was like new on that car, I got it under book with low miles, a really nice viper 2 way remote start, stereo, speakers, tint... I think I gave it a car wash everyday. Then I hit a cement barrier dead center. The fog lights were almost touching, the trans went through the floor board. If that car hadn't crumpled exactly like it were supposed to, I wouldn't be here today. I walked away with a broken collar bone and sternum from the seatbelt.

    I miss my 79 Malibu Classic. It was a 4 door, with a 305, but it still would have been a hell of a project car, I only got rid of it after I found my second GP.

    I miss my 89 Dodge W-150 pickup. It only had a 6 cyl, but went beat mode in the snow last year. 10 miles per gallon and $80 fill ups atleast once a week sucked.

    Those are about the only 3 out of about 28 or that I've owned that I miss. I also miss some of my friends projects that I've put some time into...

    Miss my first car, a 75 Chevy Monza 2+2. The thing is unique. I had so many people ask me about it all the time, even though it didn't look all that great. Guess it was just older guys remembering their teens.

    Miss my 85 Bronco II. Thing was lifted 3", with Bushwhacker fender flares, custom tube rear bumper, push bar, 31/10.50 tires on American Racing sawblades, custom exhaust, visor, and best of all, it was Viper Yellow. People called it the Magic Schoolbus. You could see and hear me coming from a mile away.

    Miss my 93 AWD Talon TSI. Thing had upgraded turbo, intercooler, intercooler pipes, injectors, FPR, downpipe, catback, MAS, and so on and so forth. That thing was quick. I could easily spin all four. I regret selling that thing to this day.

    Even though I still have it, I miss my Stealth. I love running hard on the hills and carving corners with it. It may not be the fastest, but damn is it a blast to drive.

    I miss my 03 Impala LS with 350,000kms. It was a roomy comfortable somewhat classy car. Best of all I got it for 800$ and only ever had to replace the alternator. It never gave me a problem.

    I miss my Audi A4.. every time I see one on the road it makes me think about mine and regret selling it lol. Why does Audi maintenance have to be so damn expensive lol.

    And I know for a fact that I would miss my GP if I ever sold it. Even though its a love hate relationship right now..

    Well I've only had my GP and a Sebring lol. I don't so much miss the Sebring as wonder whether or not it's still running. I guess I sort of miss it but the GP is a hell of a lot better and I know I'll miss it if I have to get rid of it.

    I miss a few of my cars and others i was just glad to get rid off. I miss my first car a 76 el camino, I thought it was fast as hell even after taking it to the drag strip and running a 11.0............1/8th lol. I miss my 81 K5 blazer that thing was nice to take the top off and cruise around in. I sorta miss my old ZX2 it was a decent little car, fairly quick and could corner awesome. I miss my passat just cuz it got awesome gas mileage and the turbo sounded great spooling up. I slightly miss my SHO just because I miss the sound of a V8 when you stand on the throttle.
