My first was a 1983 F-150 with a wooden bed, and holes in the floorboards. Pictures will be hard to dig up, but I'll try...

Gotta love plastic panels, lol.
Here is the celica. My girlfriend refused to ever ride in it, and she successfully never did before the motor blew up from me driving it like a race car

The wife was on my back about how many vehicles I was stacking up so I told her I'd sell one. I put a price on it that I didn't think anybody would pay. Sure as shit some guy shows up with cash and didn't care that I wouldn't budge on the price.

Very, very similar to the "I don't want to do it" bid.

Exactly. Got more than twice what I paid for it but I still hated to see it drive away.

Those end up being good jobs when you make 3X the profit you normally would.

Completely understandable. Too bad that dick had to ruin your plan!

Worst part was that I put it on the chopping block because I was having fun building up the Chevelle that's parked behind it, then a few months later I lost interest in the car and sold it. Should've just sold the car in the first place.

it's not that nice but I fix it up a little here and there. Then something else breaks or stops working.
it's a 1976 Scottsdale I bought for $2600 when I was 16. She has served me very well for being almost 40. I was not kind to it in my youth.

I wish I had pictures of the 89 jeep Cherokee I took in on a trade. Dude said it didn't run.....all it needed was spark plugs. Such a beater it was only good for mud riding and running over shit

I had an 82 Honda civic when I first moves to AZ. Best 650$ I ever spent. Drive it all the way down from OR and 4 more years after that. The first few I was extremely rough in her.

I've daily driving my beater truck right now while I shop for a newer truck. I've actually gotten it running pretty solid and if I had OD I'd keep on driving it.
86' F250 diesel.

That's awesome. Rental cars are the best. I had one for a week when my truck got hit and run on and was in the shop. It was a Pontiac g8 and it would haul ass.
Can't say I didn't take it down a few dirt roads sideways
