Let’s see… 1986 Dodge Omni 2.2 5M This car was a freak. It finally blew out catalytic converter and I placed a glasspack on it. It was the predecessor to the ricemobiles we see today! When revving it up past 5K RPM, it would backfire due to rich carbuerator tune and hollow gasoline vapor chamber that used to be a cat and would leave an 18" flame out the glasspack like a rally car…used to scare the shit out of people. Finally blew out a conrod, sold the shell for 300. Paid 600 for it and drove it for 3 years. This was a fun car that I would own again to beat the piss out of… 1987 Ford Ranger 2.3L 5M It liked to donut at 40 MPH when there was unsuspecting ice patches on the road (4:11 & posi). 3 times ding’d in the passenger front corner, right behind the wheel and forward of the door, by various poles/trees/steel things. Met an untimely demise due to a very large tree. I wish I had this to haul trash at the current house. 1998 VW Jetta GLX VR6 2.8L 5M First “brand new” car, it was really a nice ride for a college grad that just got his first real job. Met an untimely happenstance under a Pontiac Bonneville. He had 1200 damage, I had 7700 damage. not quite total…car was never “right” after that, so I traded it in on…if it was “right” I’d still be driving it (yes, that constitutes still wanting it). 2000 Ford F150 4.6L 5M Great truck, until 36,900 miles when the diff carrier shatterred into 16 distinct pieces. Dealer replaced under warranty, luckily. was decent until about 66,000 miles when it started throwing coil packs left and right. Throwing caution to the wind, I commissioned a local mechanic to create and install the “deerslayer bumpers” and 3" body lift. Not knowing when to stop, we then installed 6" of suspension lift and 37" boggers…Got rid of it when I got fed up with the constant wheel bearing replacement. Yes, you can modify a vehicle too much, but it was good fun and if it were properly done (solid axle conversion) I’d probably still be driving it… ![http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a172/Dv8Trux/FrontRight.jpg](http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a172/Dv8Trux/FrontRight.jpg) ---

The problem with the 69 Camaro is that it was a 307 powerglide, and about 80% bondo…i bought it off the original owner in 1981, but it was a rustbucket. After a lot of amateur body work , a paint job, and some custom airbrush work by my wife, it looked pretty good. Someone made me an offer i couldnt refuse, and he HAD seen it when i first got it too! I am going to have to try to dig up a pict of it and scan it. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/what-car-do-you-wish-you-owned-again/188298.md?page=2)
