When I was in HS from 1992-1996, my Grandma gave me a cream 1983 Grand Marquis sedan. It was not good enough for me so I traded it in for a black 1989 Cougar. No, it was not good enough for me. I wanted shift stick. I thought that if I had shift stick, I would fit in. Therefore, I traded the Cougar for a black 1990 Probe GL 5 speed. It broke down on me. Then I traded it in for a brand new blue 1994 Probe GT 5 speed. Not good enough. I wanted a all wheel drive turbo. I traded it in for a black 1993 Eclipse GSX 5 speed.

Some years later, I traded the Eclipse down for a red 1990 Cherokee Sport 5 speed.

Many cars passed in and out in between. I recently bought a 1999 Voyager van that turned to be stolen so I was out of car and money. So therefore, my parents gave me their white 1997 Mercury Mountaineer. I am not happy with that car!! It does not have as much height in term of cargo area as the Voyager does. I have tried telling my family and my girlfriend that I really wanted a long bed extended cab pick up truck, but no one listens to me. It sucks. That means I cannot get as many bikes or lawn mowers because I have that shoe box of a Mountaineer!!!

If I wanted a Mountaineer, I would have went and get one, not a Voyager and I would not be a victim of car theft scandal.

Yes, I have a wonderful girlfriend, but I don't care about life now. I am not a happy camper because I don't have a long bed extended cab truck and a van.

Many people may think my life is great, but it is not!!!!
 
And I'm not happy that I sold my red 1977 Caprice wagon. I wanted to look forward to future. It helped me be able to afford 1999 Voyager(see above). So I'm mad!!! I want another RED Caprice or Impala wagon!! Blue or tan is not going to do it. Must be red!! I feel like going out finding one of those red wagons for sale.
 
Just be thankful that you can drive. Doctor told me it would be best that I didn't drive because of health. I have a restored 1968 mustang coupe in the garage now and it just sets there.
 
I want a 1968 Mustang Shelby. Very sexy car. Some of the new cars are nifty but classic cars are just so...:cool2:
 
Try F-250/350 with 7.3 Diesel and long bed. You will love it.

I have owned and sold alot of vehicles, and don't have regrets because they are just chunk of metal. Anyway, there are three vehicles that I owned and love it. One is 83 S-15, second one is 98 Jeep Cherokee and now F-250 Powerstroke TurboDiesel. Why? They are darn reliable and I don't have much issue with them. My Cherokee seems to be somewhat in its end of retirement years :( I did had others, the worst is Mercury Topaz which always gives me headaches, AMC Concord, and 95 S-10/15 they were suck. I have some alright vehicles which were VW Jetta Diesel (Repairs are expensive)
Don't kill yourself, there are alot people that CAN'T drive at all for various reasons including health. Consider yourself lucky that can drive whatever you like.
