Mine was an 89 Chevy Celebrity Eurosport just like the one pictured except mine was maroon. Great grand parents bought it brand new and sold it to my mom in 92 and then was mine in 2001. It had 170k miles on it when I got it with every single maintenance receipt from the day it left the lot and was in mint and I mean MINT condition. It had 203k on it when a minivan pulled out from a gas station in front of me and totaled it.
BTW. Had the same 2.8L v6 the mid 80s XJs have....only difference mine was efi and turned horizontally.
Me and my friends would roll down the windows and yell "WATCHOUT CELEBRITY COMING THROUGH"...oooooo the stupid stuff you do when your 16.
I still miss it

1980 buick regal somerset. had the 305 in it with a quadrajet on it and the lame *** smog pump. But it was a great cruiser and gave some of the local ricers a run for there money. I miss it : ( It was the rare classy model that came with the two tone paint job with the matching interior. It even came with an umbralla that matched the paint job and said regal

1963 Plymouth Valiant, hardtop 2 door, 217 Slant Six. Kind of like the one pictured above... I can't seem to find the hardtop version of it however. But it was, used to be, white... my mother drove it into the ground and then gave it to me for my 14th birthday. I spent the next two years working on it over the weekend and sometimes after school... but only when I didn't have homework or work to do on the ranch. I actually saw it driving around town about 3 years ago, somebody sure is taking care of it now.

Here's my first car. It's a 91 Honda prelude si 2.1l b21a1 engine. Very little rust. With auto tranny. No paint fade anywhere. It was a really nice car. Ever power option available in 91. It had more do dads then i ever exspected. I had it for a lil over a year then I bought my jeep after looking for 5 months then all my money went to my jeep lost interest in the car. Then sold it for a Subaru.

My first car I was a black 91 Ranger with a 3 inch body lift 31 inch tires paid $1800 for it on Thursday Girlfriend rolled it the following Monday. I then went and purchased a 94 Mitsubishi Mighty Max pickup. For what the Mitsubishi was it was pretty sweet. I stuffed the biggest tires I could without a lift and took it out mudding. It went anywhere I pointed only broke on me once, Timing belt snapped. Loved that car right up until my dad 4x4ed it into a tree when I bought my 90 Cherokee. I dont have any good pictures but the Ranger was the ranger I had, My dad rebuilt it still drives it today, The Mitsubishi is no more but the pic is pretty similar and the Cherokee is Mine today.
The Ranger had the 4 liter v6
The Mitsubishi had a 3 Liter
and of course the Cherokee has the I6 4 Liter

My first Truck I just had to have it. 170 6 cyl with 3 on the tree and a busted *** colum shifter.My poor father worked on that Bronco so much he hated it.I loved it though.I remember everyone in school used to call it a Jeep and I would get so mad. Now look at me I own nothing but Jeeps.
