my most uniqe or biggest pain in the ***? most uniqe was the brown 1978 GMC truck i had with a 327 and humpback heads that got 6mpg. biggest pain in the *** was a 1988 jeep cherokee that broke every week unless i beat on it. the most reliable was the 1992 taurus that had over 211000 on it when i sold it.

I guess my most unique would be the 82 BMW 323i. This was a gray market car (Made for sale in Germany).
The car had a reverse pattern 5 speed (1st was where 2nd is), tight suspension, mechanical fuel injection, numerically high gears (it ran RPMS like my 70 SS with 4.11's), dash controls were labeled in German, I-6 that was IIRC 2.3L. I don't think it had a lot of HP,but with the light weight and gears it would move pretty well and handled like it was on rails. It was just a fun car to drive.

OK, I'd like to play. Long time lurker, infrequent poster, but I'm looking at an f-body to buy right now. Anyway, here's my '89 Jaguar XJ6 that I gave a '95 LT1 out of a Buick Roadmaster on a cheapo budget:

I probably should have kept it, but easy come, easy go. It had a nice look, with all the chrome. Also, it's not very hard to find a non-running or barely-running Jag for cheap.

Well i dont have pictures to show but I had a 66 Baby Blue VW bug. Quick little car with original rebuilt engine that got about 94mpg(thats an exajeration). I also had a Blue/Primer/Rust 68 Chevy short wheel base truck that was an original 6 cylinder that the previous owner had put a 350 in it that was cammed with a 700r4. With 4:10's that truck would scoot and get about 13 mpg. Burnt a valve in it tore the engine apart got a new ford ranger and never put it back together. Sold it for $500 bucks that was a sad day. Pointless story but hey i thought i would share
