Jeep Cherokee Country.  White with the gold/tan trim and interior instead of silver like most had.

No rust, no anti-lock brakes.

Once I figured out how to do burnouts in it, it was game over.  

I needed a set of cheap tires in the rear, because burnouts.  Fleet Farm had some super cheap stuff, like $35/tire mounted.  Those didn't make it 1500 miles.

Looked like this.

Inherited a 1977 Chevy Impala identical to this. Had 42k on it and wasn't anything special, but was reliable. Had A LOT of fun in that car.

I don't really remember, but I think it did.  The smoke those cheap ass tires put out though was something else.

An 86 Cadilac Fleetwod Brougham. One of the rear doors wouldn't open, the engine ticked like a snare drum and the shocks were mostly for show. I nicknamed it the General Lee. I banged my high-school girlfriend in the back seat soooooo many times!!

My brother had an 87 SS also. Army shipped it to Germany for him and he drove it all over Europe. We visited him there and I drove it on the autobahn and got passed like I was standing still. 

We went to Berlin with it through the East Germany corridor, and eventually into East Berlin. The looks we got with that car were something else!

Mine was a '68 Beetle. Upgraded to a '69 Mustang as soon as it got cold, no heat in the VW, don't even think about defrosting the window. 

 

My brother-in-law has an 87 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe (Nascar style rear window) in his garage. Like brand new, I think it has less then 10,000 miles on it. Doesn't come out much. 

 

I had one of those for a while, but it wasn't in great shape, needed pretty much everything when I got rid of it.

Sick. I love the second Gens also. 

I didnt know what I had :sad:

My stupid Dad hated imports and didnt understand the Rotary so when I blew the motor he was like just get rid of it.  Car was fucking mint garage kept . :wall:

The only cool part is the car got bought by some Puerto Rican dudes and its a full blown drag car now. Tubbed, cage twin turbo 13B etc. More than I ever would of done so at least it lives on in its glory. 

I bought a Black 99 Z-28 6 speed LS1 after and it was my dream car at the time so I thought the RX-7 was worthless back in 2004. Ashamed to say what I sold it for.
