Minnesota Focus Owners Club

So in my travels, I ran across someone selling the exact car I had as my first new car. With the exception of a little exterior trim, the car is, well, exact. The car is, on a 1 to 10 scale, a solid 8.5...maybe higher since it's 25 years old (humbling moment). So this would be like a once in a lifetime shot. I have seen 1 or 2 over the years, but they've pretty much been beaters. This one's pretty close to as good as it gets.

So now I'm faced with the question...do I snag it...or let it go? I can swing the purchase...but I'd be pushing it.

I won't give it up till I've pased on it. There's enough aftermarket for fun. Dilema...

Well, what was it?

I'd like to own a absolutely mint, full loaded, 88 Turbo Coupe again. My brother hit "black ice" and totalled it. I was devastated.

yeah, what is it.

For me, you'd be referring to my 1987 Nissan Pulsar. It burned as much oil as it did gas. However, I would like to get my hands on the next two cars I owned, a 1988 MR2, then a 1992 MR2. I never thought I'd love those cars as much, or as long as I have. The '88 was like driving a go-kart on the streets. Is it bad, I actually still have dreams about driving them. Look what you've done, now I'm all nostalgic!

Now I can't let the cat out the bag. If I move on it, it will be by the weekend. I'm not sure if anyone would like it or not, but I ragged the shit out of the one I had and could't kill it. Since it stayed stock, except for struts and tires, it was an excellent slow car to drive fast.

do it... you'll regret it if you don't

My first car was kinda boring. It was a 86 Buick Century with a 2.5L 4 and a 3 speed auto

Not me. It was a 77 Dodge colt, with an am radio with one speaker, ripped up vinyl seats, 4 spd 1.6 ltr, No AC, No PS, No power anything actually. Metallic Brown. A real chick magnet!

I can think of a number of cars I wish I could get back, some day I'll buy another muscle car but it'll be a while.

Heck, I had Nils run the VIN from my last car (1969 Skylark) to see if it was still around but it's either moved out of state or been totaled as it's not registered in Minnesota anymore.

i'd luv to get my old 82 corolla back.... lightweight rwd fun!!! i'd luv to get one and swap a 4a-ge or a 3s-gte into it...... i miss that car..... found one, but duuude didnt wanna sell it.... pretty damn mint....




well get it, and be done wit it!!!!!

Ah, I sold my first car so I could get Chromie.
Although it was a nice car, and I do miss it. But I'd rather have Chromie...
It was a 94 Eagle Talon ESi.

i miss my first truck, a 87 c-10 burban. spindles and springs(3inches) dropped the front, and shackles and springs and a c notch dropped the rear. it was a camper special, rubber floor mats,two bench seats and it was a south dakota truck to boot!! trust me it was the alto-mut shaggin waggin!!!!!

id like to have mine back
mine was in need of paint but the drive train was sweet. my parents sold it when i went to the army.

PS that one isnt mine but is the exact same thing. i ditched the spoked rims for some keystone classics 8 inches wide up front and 10 in the rear. damn i miss that car i will have another one but the trans am this time.

I'm showing my age. My 1st car was a 1960 Chevy Impala 2 door hardtop with a factory 348 & 4 speed. What a tank compared to the SVTF!
