I can just post links, because I can´t upload pictures from work

This is the car my parents had when I was born:

This one came ten years later:

1956 Ford. My dad argued forever that this was faster than the more desirable '57 Chevy.



'61 Chevy Biscayne. Didn't have a radio or air conditioning.



'63 Chevy wagon. AM radio but still no a/c.



Obviously the RubeDadâ„¢ was starting to bank some coin: '68 Olds 98 LS.



RubeMomâ„¢ trying to re-gain her youth: '72 Dodge Duster.

^^^That's the madre's current one. They were all vehicle used for business as well as hauling around a ton of kids. Each one had over 200k miles before being swapped out. The excursion is still used as a company specific vehicle and has 323k on it. Her next vehicle is either going to be an XKR or a 'vert Gran Turismo. It's about damn time that she got something fun that isn't flat white.

My dad had a bunch of ford pickups and now a dodge pickup. There was a beat to hell '85 944 porsche for a few years there, and then an '04 Esprit.

1986 Nissan Maxima Wagon was the car my dad used to drive when I was a kid.

He bought it new and kept it until it became my first car in the mid-90's. Whenever I see one (rarely), I always get a bit nostalgic.

When I was real young my dad drove one of these. I remember sitting in the back and having cigarette smoke blow in my face. I'm sure it hauled ass but all I remember was the smoke and getting my hand slammed in the door once. That happens to children in coupes.

First car I owned was a well used 68 Hurst-Olds Cutlass. Yeah, that mo-fo hauled ass.

Parents cars: some red station wagon I can't put a brand on, then my father bought a very sweet Galaxy 500. When he died mother stupidly sold it for a piece of shit AMC.
