I get emotionally tied up in material things, i get it from my mom. I still have my 1972 ford pickup ive had since i was 14. I wrecked it 2 years ago and its sat in the same spot since then, and i just cant get rid of it.

I wouldnt call it a pos, i have a 94 firebird 3.4L and a 97 firebird 3.8L, i love both of them equally.
Thinking of making one look like a clone 02 Ram Air T/A with a V6 in there just to daily drive it looking cool and good on mpg.

My first car was a 92 Z28 wich i regret selling. not going to make that mistake again with my 69 firebird, 89 stang, 90 chevy dually. keeping all my cars even if i have to put them on non-op. and not drive them.

All of my other cars I've had before my Fbodies I've dreamed of getting rid of. 93 Honda Accord (My first car that got totalled after I'd had it for 3 months when a lady T boned me running a stop sign), 95 Eclipse GST (POS), and my 95 Grand Am (hated with a passion).

I could never sell my Formula. Especially after what will probably be 2 years to get it running again. I could probably sell my 95 rather easily. I drive the hell out of it and it's been really good to me. I love that car and it's kind of a family thing since my brother bought it brand new. The only problem is that it's the only one that is currently operative.

I could sell my 93 , but after having 6 months of work stripping it down I don't think the money I'd get out of it would be worth the amount of work I have into it. Unless I found someone who was looking for something they wanted to turn into a drag car with little work.

if i ever got rid of my ride it would be for a bigger badder car....which might happen...lol...hate to let it go because i have got a lot of time into it and that would suck to watch it leave but i would know that a big bad supercharged car was in my garage rather than my stocker..lol...

but on another note...no i dont miss my first car...it was an 89 IROC 350 TPI and it was always giving me fits...wiring fits and it always had a bug i could never find...it was a really nice car because i did all the bodywork and paint and made it near perfect, but all in all im happy its gone...ive got better cars now!!

Damn it, everytime I think I'm fully committed to selling my car, I see a picture or video or post that makes me rethink it, lol. I was just reading about the LTX shootout in GMHTP (few issues back) and that blue SS on the first page looks so good that it makes me cringe at the thought of seeing mine go.

This is the LT1 section, what are you doing in here?

I agree with Joe though, I couldnt sell any of my nice cars. To much money and time in them to see them go.
