I wish I still had my '84 VW Jetta GLi 4 door, you can't find those things anymore The one I had ran like total crap, but it had the most perfectly set up suspension I've ever played with. Going 35-40 mph, you could crank the wheel hard left or hard right, and it wouldn't even chirp making the sharp turn, and that was on old, worn out econo tires Aside from that, I miss my old Saab, but I know I'll find another one of them someday

Wish I still had my 1985 Jeep CJ7. I actually still have it parked on some property I own about 4 hours away. It is no longer drivable but when it was it was a beast in the snow. Miss it every winter and haven't driven it for about 10 years.

I wish that I still had my '66 Mustang (metallic blue, 6 banger), but at the age of 4 it turned left, and was T-boned on the passenger side by another vehicle. It was a total loss, but mercifully there were no injuries...seatbelts.

I wish I had my '66 Corvette back. Owned it for 7 years and absolutely loved that car. It was a numbers matching Rally Red Coupe w/ black interior, 327/350 hp, 4-speed and factory side pipes --- LOVED the sound of those pipes.

Call me crazy, but...I wish I still had my first car, an '81 (first-gen) Honda Accord LX hatchback, 5-speed. It was handed down from my sister, who was nice enough to put a few questionable dents in it first.

It was mostly covered in that delicious metallic mint green color, with matching green velour upholstery and an AC setup that liked to occasionally dump chilled water on the passenger's feet.

Also, no stereo system to speak of - the front dash speakers had been removed entirely, and the rear compartment carried two low-quality 6x9s that, with enough volume, were almost indistinguishable from pure static fuzz. And the head unit had a tape deck with heads so bad that every tape became 50 percent quieter.

Under the hood, however, it was as reliable as any Honda - even with the 130k it was carrying during my tenure. Never really left me stranded, though there were a few touchy moments here and there.

I'm told that when I traded it in for my Nissan pickup (which my brother now owns), the rear shock mounts were slowly rusting themselves away. So I don't have high hopes of finding another one in good shape to restore back to health. But maybe someday...

I wish, I still have my 1978 Toyota Crown which was actually owned by my father. I was a kid when we used to go for long trips with family and I used to take it at my school.

There are a few. My Viper was the most gorgeous car I ever had, but not a lot of fun to drive. I'd say the one I miss most is my FFR Shelby Cobra replica. Had so much fun with it....
