    And it isn't pretty.





    Both front fenders are jacked, projector is cracked, rockers are gone, rear strut towers are gone, rust is coming up out of the rear wheel wells, passenger front wheel is visibly bent, it's all beat up. The new owner came into my workplace and said she bought it for $2600 out the door at a used car lot. Who knows what it's been through.

    Makes me somewhat sad actually, it's being driven into the ground. I kind of miss that car.

    These days are gone:

    What a sad time that ride is having.

    I had a 85 Cadillac Eldorado that I put a lot of work into, saw it a year later being driven by some white trash guy and it was nothing like I had left it.

    I saw mine on craigslist as well, 6 months After I sold it... It's amazing what people can do to cars in a short period, it was all ****ed up. The front end had damage and both passenger side doors were caved in

    I heard Regal 1 hit the scrap yard over a trans, it went past 250K
    Regal 2, I think got t boned
    Regal 3 was totaled for sure
    Regal 4 was recently traded in
    Regal 5 was sold again and AFAIK is still running like a champ
    Regal 6 was regal 2 reincarnated
    Regal 7 ... I'm still driving

    GTP (flip only) is still driving AFAIK, which is amazing with the amount of rust it had.

    Bonne still driving.

    i hate that. hate it.

    i sold my white 99. it was the car i took on my honeymoon and babied it. drove it since 03 and sold it last year. a redneck kid couple came from few hours away and bought it. i never smoked in it. not once. no one ever did. first thing they do is put their plate on, hop in, light em and leave. last i'll ever see that car. its probably toast now. i told them if i was ever rich i was going to come get the car back. but im sure its gone now. i don't want to think about it.
