I had an 87 Olds Cutlass, but now my beater is the maro SS.
Only problem is I never had to decide between blowing money on the truck or the cutlass. It's popping up everyday now with the new car.

96 ford taurus 210,000 miles just got to put a grand in it every two years, and regular up keep, tons of parts available for cheap...and it is inconspicuous a good thing when it is 2 at night and you need to keep things on the dL

87 celebrity.....this car kept me from abusing my truck for a while. lol. then i sold it for 250 bucks...... i ported the plenum and TB and had it tuned. when my truck was stock, this car kicked its ***(weighing 2800 lbs hehehe). then i realized how white trash i looked driving it around

hers my other ride. Fit Series 2 Aitken frame, Odyssey Dirt forks, Kink freebird bars, Profile cranks, Magneisum Celinskie pedals, Macneil Titanium pegs, Primo rear casset, odyssey front hazard light. I know this means nothing to any of you guys, but though it would be funny. This is my street machine/ late night drunk ride. It gets great mileage
sorry the pics soo big.
