Chewy Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) I stopped to fill up the car last night and what did I see? YEP! My old truck... WOW this thing is looking ratty! I sold it with around 140,000 miles on it, but it was in decent shape. No rust or anything major when I had it. I sold it in 1997... It's a 1990. This isn't a great picture and doesn't show ALL the damage, but WOW is it bad... 253,000 miles on the original trans and 300CI I-6. There's not enough Adams product in the warehouse to make this truck look good! lol I put those fog lights in that grill and had that grill painted black... In the day, it got looks... Now it's just a SIGHT! Not a good sight either... The current owner was cool... He's in construction and doesn't have a lot of dough...

JBlack151 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 It's always cool to see your old vehicle, then you see how bad of shape they're in. I see my 97 Blazer from time to time that I bought when I first move back here to CT 11 years ago. It's dented, scratched and beginning to rust. She also has 2 different rims on it too. I had that thing in mint condition while it was in my hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marylander Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 It's funny -- I see my old cars from time to time, and my wife is like "how do you know it was yours and not one just like it?" But we car guys can always tell our babies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golf for Life Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) Yes we can always tell it when one of our babies is spotted. Sometimes I would just as well see them again, especially if they have been abused. But I would like to see one of my old Corvettes or my Malibu (although I know what happened to it). Would also like to see if my 1969 road runner is still alive. Edited August 30, 2012 by Golf for Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbeard Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 One thing I love about the internet is it makes it so easy to sell things to non-local people. Between ebay, enthusiast forums, and craigslist, I've sold vehicles to (and bought from) folks hundreds or even thousands of miles away. My point is once I sell a vehicle I don't want to see it all over town. I mean, isn't it always awkward when you run into an ex-girlfriend?

Laguna Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Unfortunately my brother owns my first car and he does not take care of vehicles at all. I kept that thing nice and clean in the interior and as good as I can on the outside. Took it for oil changes and all. Now he barely gets the oil changed, its falling apart, and he never washed it. The inside has crap all over. 2001 Cavalier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marylander Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I'm still always keeping an eye out for the 75 Corvette that my dad had bought new and sold to me when I was in my 20s. I let it go about 12 years ago and would love to bring it back home. I sold it locally, so there's some chance it's still around. I last saw it on an area road about 3 years after I sold it.

matts88yj Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I still have my first vehicle (Jeep) and had an 89 MR2 that I bought off my neighbor. I ran it for a few years and he bought it back off of me when I got the G8. The MR2 is only 2 houses down from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran into one of my high school sweethearts and yeah, it was rather awkward. That was most likely due to the fact that we were both high school athletes and now...well no athleticism if you know what I mean. Flat stomach why did you leave me???

randyfox Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I saw my old Civic when I was in Colorado for Thanksgiving. It was a little rough for my liking. My brother in law owns it now (he was the original owner too) so I know I can see it whenever I am there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggerdan11 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 That is very similar to my first ride. I had a 89 F-250. It was 10 years old when I got it in 99 and I sold it in 03. I use to see it running around town for a couple years then I moved away and a freiend of mine saw it and said it was trashed bad, and I have not seen it since.

I agree, unless I'm trying to buy it back, I don't want to see it. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
