I've regained my senses and currently drive a 2011 F250 SD with the 6.7.

Sorry to hear that...:laughing:

For me it was my 1999 F-150 XLT, Regular Cab, Short Bed Step Side, 4x4, 5.4L with 4.10 gears.

I have looked long and hard to find one like it but all I find are 3.55 gears or 4.6L motors.

Gears are really easy and fairly cheap to change out. Don't something silly like gear ratio prevent you from buying one.

My 1972 Cuda, 383 small Big Block, Four speed. Sold it for an engagement ring for my first wife. Now you know how much I regret that.:laughing:

Tell us, which one do you regret more, selling the car, or marrying your first wife? Pick ONE !! :laughing:

I have only had two trucks prior to my current SUV. I still have the 1990 F150, but I wish I had kept the 1979 F 150 I purchased new. It was a long box standard cab Ranger, 302 V8, automatic, rear slider, rear step, what I loved about it was the Walnut Glow paint, a very rare color. I had it Ziebarted and put a box liner in the back and it was waxed several times a year and the body was just flawless. Sold it for $900 after a quickie oil change shop put in 10W oil and the bearings wore out, and of course they denied any responsibility. Had 55000 miles on it at the time.

That is a definate getting married that time. That cost me more than any cars could. Not only up front but .25% of my pension. So I guess you could say I am still paying that one even though it was finalized 17 years ago.:laughing:

I have had a number of cars and trucks, but the one I wish I still had is the 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 Quad Cab Long Bed 4x4 with High Output Cummins and a 6 speed manual. It was bright red and I got it new, but got rid of it shortly after getting married to better afford a house.

I have a 94 Cummins now, and 2011 Toyota Sienna, but I still keep looking for the right deal on a 03-04 QC LB 4x4 6 speed Cummins.

If I could find an El Camino or Ford Ranchero that would just RUN, I would love to buy it!

I always wanted one!

There are at least a half dozen for sale around here. I pass them all the time sitting in peoples front yards for sale in various stages of restoration or ready to drive.

I had a 74 with 400 small block for a number of years. I miss it.

If you want photos and phone numbers let me know, I'll grab them when I can.

Too many vehicles to pick one I think. I will miss my Hummer H1 which I drove for 14 years, but the 94 F-150 Lightning was a nice truck, not a good work truck and it wasn't meant to be. As far as cars it would be a toss up between the 96 Impalla SS or the 70 Torino w/429 SCJ.

The only car I really miss was my Chevy Lumina LTZ. Laugh if you want, but that car could fit the whole family and still give you a kick in the butt when you got into the throttle. Top that off with 30 mpg. I loved driving that car. Sold it when we bought a AWD crossover for my wife to drive around.
