^^^ I really like them...

Did you restore them or are these cars from back in the day?

Some how they don't quite look like native Washington cars...

The 2013 Fusion, still own it, not great but fair gas mileage. Only used for vacation driving.


My 1972 Corvette, I disliked this car from the beginning and would not buy another Corvette again.

My 1967 Olds 442, got it new in 67, not a great car, but still own it for sentimental reasons.


My 2007 FJ Cruiser, great truck but a gas guzzler. Sold it in 2013.


My 1994 Supra TT, loved everything about this car, sold it in Oct. 2016 for $50K. This car has not been registered in the new owners name yet. It is in his collection.


My 2016 AMG C63s, own it and love it, will not sell in the near future.
I had a 1994 Supra TT as well, bought new, in the dark metallic green. Fantastic car, almost terrifying to drive in stop and go traffic as it wanted to go 0 or 25 but not creep and crawl. I bought it specifically for lunch time races when I lived in Plano, TX. They had just opened up parts of I-635, although no one was really using it yet. A lot of guys would show up at lunch and basically use the new freeway as a closed race course. That lasted for a whole summer. What fun!

It's hard to pick just one car from my past. I've loved all of my cars and they were all good to me, and I'd buy them all again!

I still miss my-

1967 Volvo 122S wagon
1979 Honda CVCC hatchback
1994 Honda Civic Si

Otherwise, I wouldn't mind owning a Toyota Starlet or a Mazda 323 GTX. Maybe an '89 BMW M3. Or a '70's Alfa Romeo Super Guilia. Also, an '80's Audi Sport Quattro.

Of course, all of my cars need to have manual transmissions!!!

My favorites:
My 2000 Subaru Impreza Outback Sport - my little pacer on steroids.
My 1988 Volvo 740 Sport Turbo Wagon - loved that turbo. Car had all the bells and whistles. Was even equipped with a "car phone" package.
My first car - a 1979 Mustang hatchback.

I really wish I had all of them now. 1985 Firebird, 1985 Honda Accord, 1985 Pontiac 6000, 1972 Chevelle, 1975 Monte Carlo, 1982 Monte Carlo, 1979 Datsun 810, 2007 Pontiac G6, . Even my silly little 2002 manual transmission Ford Focus was fun to drive sometimes.

Unfortunately for me, I was pretty poor in my younger days. Many of these vehicles were lost to me just because of repairs I couldn't afford.
