Was coming out of a Walgreens in Pensacola last Summer, heard a familiar dual exhaust sound. Turned around and there went that brown Chevy. Brought a smile and tear at the same time. She's still on the road.
Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.
My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

I have had a couple. 1983 Cherrokee Chief sitting on 33s. Sucker got such bad mileage you could watch the gauge move when you got in the throttle. 1986 Bronco on 33s. Gave it to my brother and got a 1990 Bronco. Just wasn't the same. Sold that and got a 2000 wrangler. Should have kept the jeep too.

90 chevy 1500 tan Z71 5.7 liter Vortec with a L-1-2-3 manual transmission (last yr they offered it in the 1/2 ton). Never needed 4L with the granny Low. That truck had more torque than any I have ever owned. I ran Buckshot P's and had an Warn 8274 8000 winch on the front in a Warn bumper.

Looks like everyone regrets selling the toyotas. My Dad bought a 76 Landcruiser a few months ago, it's in pretty much perfect condition and he paid 12k for it. He could sell it for 20k on craigslist in a day. The guy he bought it from had no idea what the thing is worth.

I had a 94 4runner that was beat to hell.Bought it from some woman in a big nice subdivision in alabaster.She had bought it for her spoilt ass 16 yr old and he went to tearing chit up on it I got in it and crunk it up the night i looked at it and it sounded like a skidder.Boy had took the complete exhaust off it from the manifold back...loud is a big understatement.Didnt have hardly a lick of brakes.I took back roads home in it cause it was embarrassing loud.Took it the next day to get exhaust put on it.Bout 4 miles from the house i heard a bump and in my rearview saw a driveshaft bouncing off the pavement.It had 33" interco super swampers on some bullethole wheels.Sumbitch was tough and would climb trees..literally..i bout stood it straight up one night trying to climb a tree.Gas mileage was absolutely terrible in it...hell the more i talk the less i miss it.

It's not a hunting rig but when I moved down here I had a 1990 Eagle Talon that I restored and did a ton of work to and a 89LX 351w. I kept the mustang and sold the Talon. I ended up selling mustang because I couldn't find a job.
I missed both of those cars, I missed the Talon the most. That was a monster

Hey Swampy, tell us bout that bad looking machine. How's it powered , 4X4 and such? Home built? Looks sorta like it articulates. Never seen anything quite like it.

Old 74 doge truck that was setting on new 35"(Q?) Buckshots. It stayed broke down about as often as it was fixed but it wouldn't spin a tire on a lake of snot.
But my favorite was an 84 full sized Bronco on some 33" BFGoodrich mud terrains. I sold it in 1997 and have regretted it since. There are good ones and there are lemons. That was definitely a good one.
