Ever sold a car and regret it?

The whole "American dream" part....lots of people in Alaska did that, whenever a their car broke they wouldn't bother fixing it, nope they'd just go get another. and soon enough they had a junkyard in their front/back yard.

Probably my 91 Prelude Si...but the engine was shot...and I had the choice of a car I didnt know would make it or one I knew would, so instead I kept driving my regal. Also, my 87 D-50 2wd...wanted to make a mini-truck outa it and either a 360 or a conquest swap in it, my dad sold it...i've been trying to get it back lately.

It was a base model when I got it. 6cyl manual drum brakes all around. A real pig let me tell you. But I did alot to that car. It was last equipped with a 468ci with a performer Rpm intake, mild port work on some oval port heads, with an M21 close ratio(no rockcrusher), Hurst V-gate shifter. Hays 12" clutch, 12 bolt w/4:56.1 gears. I NEVER should have sold it. I lost my ass on that one. Never ran it at the strip. It was such a tire smoker though. WIDETRACK SR's FTL!!! Probably woulda never got past the mid 13's as it sat if that. With traction and some suspension, I may have been able to get low 12's outa it. MAY HAVE! Purely speculation. It was a powerhouse though. I really miss bigblock torque.

Big Blocks sound so mean, I love it. I love the sound of old big block equipped Mopars especially, but all big blocks are mean. I regretted selling my 1993 Ford Probe base model purely because it was my first car, I put it through hell and it never let me down, it was fun but so slow....

Mine was an auto, but either way it never gave me trouble. I used the cheapest oil I could buy in it, ran it on cheap gas and it ran well all the time. I had it for 35k and it was awesome.

I got a registered letter from an impound lot yesterday saying they have my old 85 accord. Kid who was supposedly buying it moved and changed his phone number, so I have no way of contacting him, and hadn't seen the car since maybe June. Car was towed two months ago and the storage fee is almost $850. I went to look at it today - and it started up on the first try, after two months of sitting. That car is invincible. Except they're going to crush it, since I'm not paying for storage. That rusty pile of shit was almost as good a friend as the dog we had when I was growing up.
Anybody knows Dustin Huber, let me know. He owes me a few hundred bucks and a fucking explanation.
