Iron City? - wow, haven't heard of that in forever.

Yea, he owned a beer distributor at one time that was in my uncle's possession. You should have seen it, big, plastic with the yellow triangle and everything. Luckily my mother got sick of it real quick.

Ok, who owned a Gremlin?

Keye Luke did, until he sold it.

Is there something wrong with me for having wanted a Pacer?

lol, me too..I thought it was cute.

I have never had a humiliating car. They've been old, cheap, shoddy maybe. But in this country you are judged more when you open your mouth. And in middle england there aren't enough people who can tell real quality these days, so I get by.

I've owned 5 (I think) and loved two of them. But a car is a car is a car. Actually, I've only owned one car that cost more than my watch. Said watch is currently unworn because it's a Tag Heuer and I can't afford to have the battery replaced.

I'm not ashamed of any of my old clunkers. Wish I had one now.

My first car was a 1985 VW GTI which I drove until 1994. By the end, the rear bumper had been thumped twice so it was kinda caved in, and the right door had been mashed so it had a big dent in it, and bits of the side molding were coming off. It had no power steering at all, and then it developed torque steer so hard, that to floor it meant the steering wheel could swerve hard to the right.

I think we traded it for $500. Should have kept it as a beater instead. Great beater car.

I loved my 84 GTI... only gave it up because Jim bought me the GLI Jetta... only gave that up because the damn baby seats wouldn't install right in it and Jim brought me home a Jeep Cherokee from work one day...

The Wife owned a Pinto Station Wagon before we started dating.

We speak not of it.

Wise CG, wise. Sometimes the indiscretions of youth are best buried in the past. :haha:

You found the bodies?

After a couple good cars and mostly not good cars, this is the one I'm drooling over. They had me at 6 speed manual transmission.

The link takes you to the preowned site. If you sort by mileage it's the first car, red Civic SI.

I'm sure it's way out of my price range, but lumberjim or any car people, how do you find out their ballpark price without someone actively trying to get you to buy the car? I'd just like an idea what they're asking, so I can put my silly car dream to rest.

Which one shaw?

You have to be at preowned inventory and sort by mileage, lowest first.

It's the 2008 red Civic SI.
