Things you wouldn't be caught dead driving

[17Ramguy78]

I wouldn't want to drive one.....again. Got my first job at 15 and didn't have any wheels to get to work.
The boss had one of these sitting aorund in '85, so I got to drive it. Little different shade of blue though,
more like sky blue. But it had a 390 in it that would burn tires for a city block

I beg to differ, I'll drive that bad boy but not over my Ram

Now here's one that most people wouldn't drive until you drive it

Well as much as I like Dodge, I've never been able to forgive them for the Mini Van. In fact they are banned from my drive

This is my dream car. A friend in Alabama spent 8 years in the 1970s building a 1969 Camaro into a 600HP barely-legal street rod. In the 1990s he got a divorce, lost everything except his cars which he eventually stored under cover. Sitting for the past 18-20 years, the rubber has rotted, the exterior paint has faded, the interior is dusty, and much of the aluminum has pitted. Other than the inside roll bar and bucket seats, the interior is all original. He's in his mid-70s now and has no $$ or interest in fixing it up. In it's hay day, this Camaro won lots of local Alabama awards, but now sits forgotten and faded. If I were younger, had the space, tools and know-how, I'd haul this baby home and get her back in shape. But I have none of those if's. It's still sitting under cover in Alabama.

It won’t be wherever it is long now that it’s on the web! Good on him for hanging on. Sad for the car to sit.

My bad...you are correct. A big fat finger on my part, which makes a world of difference in the cars.

Ok give them some grace, they did add a turbo in some years

My wife had a string of mini-vans, and the last one was a truly great vehicle, a Chrysler Town & Country, smooth and good driving, could hold a ton of people and gear. With 3 kids there really isn't a better vehicle choice.

Ah, the 1-horse screamer. What a ride!
