Does your car have sentimental value to you? Like you wouldn't want to part with your car, even if it were for one of the same model/options/etc?

Not this one - my previous cars, though, yes.

Yep, luv my uno ^_^.

i guess its the smell it has *i know it sounds weird* the noise it makes, the way it feels, everything about it , just seems homley.

dont make fun of me

Oh god yes...

My aw ... everything is bung. I have been, and will continue to be for some time to come, pouring money into that thing. I could easily buy another for far less than it will cost to restore.

But then it wouldnt be MY car.

I've had the thing for 5 years now, I'm kinda attached. I've been asked twice now, by people looking for one, if I would be interested in selling it to them. I tell them no

I wonder what the hell is wrong with me sometimes. I thought perhaps it might be a gender thing, us females ARE prone to erratic hormonal and emotional behaviour....

you try and take a girls kitty cat after she has been with it for about a month (or any amount longer).

you wont be able to get it away from her..... she wubs it just to much lol.

then again, i wouldnt wanna let my pets go either

No. I'd be happy to sell it for the car of my dreams.

yea - just for the pure fact its a fun car to drive.

would however turn my back on it for an altezza....

Ive only had my GSR 2 nights and I wouldnt trade it in for anything. It does what it has to.
Hey it may be tiptronic but driving into town everyday on the southern motorway isnt that much fun in a manual. Plus its discreet - doesnt stick out like all the evos around.
Sorta got the sleeper look going on.

I love it. once i get some bigger mags for it i'll love it even more!!!

Not really, none of my cars have really, a cars a car...

Yes mine does. I almost had a cry going out to my garage and seeing a 12 second car unable to move

I dont think I'm gonna do too much with it until early next year. Just get it back on the road, and compete in the winterdrag series albeit more gently and buy a runaround.

But I dont think I'll ever part with it, apart from the gearbox selector forks, its taken so much punishment. Over 85 runs down the 1/4 mile and the mighty 3s never missed a beat once

Datsun Bluebird (RWD) - my first car. Oh the memories. I think for most people the first car is kinda special. I had this for about 2 years I think

Mitsi Sigma Turbo - loved that car, wanna get another one.

Ford Escort - Killed it in less than a week. Fun while it lasted.

Toyota Carina ED - eh.

I miss my soarer i want another one!

I miss my leones wing mirrors. And the noisest tappets in the word.

I miss my ae92 heaps. Wish I hadn't sold it.

Love my ae85, best yet. Slow as shit... for now but it has personality, somthing the ae92 was missing.

all my cars have memories. i see 2 of the 3 previous cars. i always see them and smile

i love my car now and i wouldnt get rid of her unless i really really really had to
