    I'd love to get my hands on the 84 Explorer I had. 300 I6, 4wd, manual - thing towed like a dream. Did a test drive once between Sioux City and Sioux Falls and got the thing up to 80 before the needle started bending and the front of the truck started to lift(never drove it that fast again). Drove the thing back and forth between Texas and Sioux City(no a/c but it was dealer installed a/c and the heater worked like a charm) and it beat the gas mileage of the 88 Aerostar I use to own. Was also the only vehicle that survived an accident that lead to my back problems(ended up replacing the rear window with a slider because when that lady hit me, it moved the bed forward hitting the cab, shattering the window - and replacing the rear bumper because it curled up on itself). Had to let it go in the end because a short developed in the dash somewhere I could never find because the cables kept melting both posts on the battery. Their just one of those trucks that once you get you try your darnedest to hold on to and cry when you have to let it go.

    Ok I'm done opening up, carry on...

    If I had to pick a car I still had, it would be my '76 Pontiac Sunbird Landau with a 3.8 V6. Mine was yellow.



    Favorite car owned by my family was a '76 Pontiac Gran Prix landau. Hers was alike a metalic lime green. Beautiful.

    If I could have two of my old rides back, it would be my fist pickup a 1972 Ford F100. I only bought one non American car, a 1992 Lexus SC400 4.0L V8, that car was just fun to drive. Sadly my GF wrecked it in 2010, I kept that car for 18 years, in perfect condition, I just loved how that car moved!
