Dad has an Acura Legend from like 92 and he took it to the junk yard after the transmission failed at like 250,000 miles. Sweet ride, smooth and comfy.
Cool parent cars
My dad has had two different '74 roadrunners.
My dad had a Dodge Stealth.
He kept both keys on one ring, the bastard.

1994 Supra TT [HideThis]automatic[/HideThis]

In 1998, My brother and his wife totalled my mothers Ford Escort wagon. Well, I was around 8 at the time so she didn't need to worry about a car seat any more, and we had a Ford Ranger pickup truck for our camping gear. so my mom went and picked up a used 1 owner 1995 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Z34 with only 12,000 miles on it.
At the time, the car was cool and fast, and the aerodynamic body shape was winning Nascar races left and right.
I had to dig through my old cardomain page to get a pic since I lost the ones I took on my old laptop.
Dad had an 84 Supra. Too bad it was automatic.
Gold badges were not special, they were a cheap option for the classless
My dad had a 57 Chevy Bel Air before I was born. When I was a kid he had a Dodge Demon. Some of Veeky Forums seems to like the 85 200SX he had. My parents were pretty practical for the most part so there wasn't a lot of cool cars from them growing up. My dad always wanted a Corvette, but he never got one.
Dad's first car was a 1979 Toyota Celica. His sisters first car was a first gen Honda Prelude. My grandpa owned a shop/snowmobile dealership in small town Ontario, so he had tons of cool cars coming and going back in the day, from what my dad has told me. They were one of the first adopters of Japanese cars where they lived. I wish I had pics of the cars my dad had growing up.
His favourite car though, was a 1965 (I think) Ford Galaxie convertible. He's told me countless stories that involve him cruising roofless in that old barge.
Mom bought one with alamony money. Pretty great watching my little bro squeeze into the back everytime.
