I can't vote. Mine was a 1973 Camaro which cost me $2300.00. You need to change the amounts in your poll to reflect ranges!

<< Not all of us were as lucky as Russ >>



Ornery,

More like a sort of brother-in-law who was married to my bitch step-sister who made him sell it because it wasn't a "family" vehicle. Wish I still had it.

Kind of fun to read this thread, as there are a lot of cars listed that I've owned over the years; VW, Colt, Corvair to name a few.

Russ, NCNE

Hmmm...only in Canada can you get a car for the price of a Big Mac here in Michigan.
