If you look at other post, you'll notice you're just supposed to extend what is here. Though what you have here is good. I'll make a thread for such stuff and quote you in the OP. --- Post updated --- ...Sanitwong Na Chiangmai. He liked the car, and saw it as a good mix of performance and family hauling capacity. However, in 2005, he learned that his boss's shop doubled as a chop shop for the local gangs. Trying to free himself from the possible association with cars bought with blood money, he quit the job and sold the car to...
Canadian animator Zachary Laker. He was looking for an custom station wagon, and something more... foreign. That car was his pick, and it checked all his boxes. First, he got the car an Coca-Cola livery, then engine-swapped it with an Mitsubishi Eclipse from the 1990s. He kept it for 5 more years, until an Acura RDX peeked his interest. He then sold it to his best friend, that lives in Alaska named...
...Alan Collins. He bought the car as an unique JDM vehicle, and while it did attract the attention of the local JDM crowd, most of the locals just saw it as a Dodge Colt with a dumb-looking livery. What's more, the 80s handling wasn't as good for the family car segment as it used to be. After 2 years, he decided to swap it for something more... conventional. But first, he needed to sell the Mitsu. Because of its... unique (as in "neat, but don't really feel like buying") qualities, it ended up spending whole months on Craigslist, until in 2013 it was sold for $1500 to...
Johnny Craigs. A 18-year old gearhead, who was Japanese cars fan at that time. He kept Mitsubishi for 7 years, and made some modifications. He put 18" BBS alloys and changed color to silver. Then he saw 1973 BMW 2002tii in adverts, and decided to sell Mitsubishi to...
Jose Baker, an massive car guy around Jersey City. He was immediately interested in it, and made it his daily. (It can't be 7 years, because it's 2018, not 2020.) He still currently owns it, although it's now Vibrant Red, and has an nice rotary engine from an RX-8. NEW STORY: Gregor Wright In 1961, at the age of 18, he bought his first car, an '58 Biscayne Coupe. It was in an glossy green color, and was in top-notch condition. For being in Southampton (UK), it took the conditions nice for being a bit older. But, in December 2nd, 1965, a few weeks after graduation, he smacked into an tree and landed a bit rough. It damaged the fuel-lines, so he sold it for an Austin...
...A99 Westminster, Austin's large car - namely, a traded-in 1963 one. However, thanks to his father's connections, he quickly got a quite-well-paid job in London . Now earning a good deal of money, after paying the Austin off in mid-1968 and waiting until October 1968 for the '69 model year to arrive, he decided to buy a more luxurious, faster car - a...
'65 Rolls Royce Phantom, an classy, but worthy sedan. It was given by an high-class friend of his to give him what he wanted, and it exceeded his expectations. The only customization was making the rims chrome and that was it. In 1971, he auctioned it for an Ford...
...Falcon GTHO, the then-fastest sedan in the world, grey-imported from Australia. A year later, he got married to Mary, and in 1974, they had their son, David. The Falcon was originally matchless, and later could serve both the role of a sports car and a family saloon, but by 1976, the 70s Ford quality started showing, and the car was traded in for a...
Datsun 100A F-II Hatchback (Second Gen Nissan Cherry). They were a bit less common, but also was worth it to drive. Later in '77, he twitched with the engine to drive more with an smooth flow. Then, in 1980, the car was hit by an AEC Regent in Westminster, damaging the front suspension and engine. He later got an Opel...
(WTH would an owner of a super-sedan go to a basic subcopmact) ...Senator with the 3.0 engine, which he saw as a cut-rate German luxury car. However, Opel's early 80s decision to pull out of the UK (part network!) made him want to sell his car in 1983. As a replacement, he was looking for something more like the fast '71 Falcon, and definitely not like the Datsun, a proper luxury sports sedan - a...
1976 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Sport Sedan. It was pretty strange of the design, but gave him what he wanted. It was one American car, that stuck out of the British crowd. Once they moved out of the UK, to Victoriaville, Quebec, the car started to weaken by temperatures. Then, in 1986, the car froze up, and had the engine busted by hail. 2 days later, he bought an 1982 Nissan...
720 Hardbody. It's green, with a tuned exhaust. Sadly, it has a serious manufacturing defect, which is on the bonnet. Nevertheless, he loved it. He then bought a new bonnet and replaced it. The truck is sturdy, reliable and economical. He owned it until 2003, when he moved to Japan. Then, he bought a Honda...
...Civic. It wasn't like his Holden or Rolls, but was better than the truck he had until his business got spinning once again in Yokohama. Finally, in 2009, he decided to get a new car - this time, a semi-luxury minivan, as his back wasn't getting younger than 66, and a minivan would have as much space as a bigger car. He bought a...
...brand new 2009 Nissan Elgrand, with a 3.5 V6 engine. He drove the car ever since. NEW STORY: 1967 Porsche 911 S Targa Stefan Willheim, an engineer from Berlin, West Germany have moved to New York in 1963. He formerly wanted a Mustang, but when the Porsche 911 came, he changed his mind and bought a then brand-new silver Porsche 911 Targa with optional rims in 1967. He loved the car and he drove it everyday. But in 1970, he bought a Buick Riviera and sold the Porsche to a dealer. The dealer then sold the car to famous starlet...
...Joe Chiccarelli, a respected audio engineer. He wanted an European sports car, but could not afford one, so he got the used Porsche. He used it for occasional rides, as his Cadillac Eldorado was the main car. However, he quickly started considering buying a Datsun Z-Car, and in 1973, he actually bought a 240Z. The Porsche was sold to...
Park Jung-hye, a South Korean Porsche enthusiast, who just moved from Seoul to New York. He has a whole lot of Porsches in his garage at Buffalo, New York. He then repainted the car to a gloss black finish. Sadly however, he was later killed in a car crash in 1974, and his family decided to sell his cars. And so, the Porsche is handed to a lawyer named Jessica...
...Barnstove in 1975. She wanted some sort of a car that would show her importance in the legal world, while not costing as much as a new 911 (which she could not afford). Unfortunately, it turned out the car wasn't as good as a daily driver as the Camaro she had before, having a trunk and rear seat that looked more like excuses, so in 1977, it was put up for sale again. The buyer was...
Eli Turner, a street racer from L.A. He then modified the car, and then replaced the 2.0 boxer-6 with a Hemi V8. The car won many races, and he loved the car. However, in 1 March 1980, he was arrested by the police for street racing and reckless driving. So, the car was impounded, and sold to the junkyard. It was until 1990 when a guy named Joseph Tucker found the car and he took back to his home in San Francisco, where he restored it and...
(TBH what you wrote above does not make sense, as there are enough California coupes not to haul a targa cross-country, and the Hemi would wreak havoc upon the weight balance, but let's go with it) ...used it as a wheelie car after tuning the engine. However, after three years of doing that, he decided to move to more normal forms of racing. The wheelie-ready Porsche was sold to...
