My first car when I turned 16 was my grandmothers 1996 Subaru Impreza, only 35000 miles in 2009! That was a great car while I had it. Then I had a Suzuki Esteem for a year which sucked *** lol. Then my 2004 Mustang convertible in 2011 which I had for 2 years. Miss that one too, but I'm pleased with what I've got now!

Had an '87 Buick Grand National for more than 20 years, but threw it on the divorce pile. Miss that one (the car, that is 
). Also once had a '71 Buick GSX on which I did a frame off restoration. I was a regular at the Buick GS Nationals for many years. Miss it all.

although I feel like I can relate to this scenario a bit more; missing out on a car I could have bought keeps me up at night alot. There was a mint '71 mach with a 429 and 4speed right next door to my best friend's house in high school. H*e only wanted 6k... *sigh* He had taken the interior out and my parents vetoed every car I suggested that wasn't in immaculate shape
Coulda sold that thing and bought multiple IIs

I would miss the G-body too. Really enjoy my Aero.
The car I miss the most is my old air cooled '95 911. Just a wonderful car but became too expensive to own. $1,600 services, $200 oil changes (2 filters and 12 quarts of Mobil 1) and 'sky high' parts prices. When I started hearing in the Porsche forums about the a/c units starting to go bad in the mid '90's cars I knew it was time to sell. Some a/c repairs approached $5,000.
Here is my 911 in the center of my 'convertibles' photo. I only own the Trans Am out of those 3 today.
