So, what cars don't you see on the road anymore?
I was thinking of this the other day when I saw a late 80s Dodge Daytona Turbo Z. Some cars you just don't see on the road anymore. That's one of them! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img] For whatever reason, some cars just don't make it long term. Oh course there's a reason for that, I'm sure. So what haven't you seen burnin' up the streets around you 'hood?

I've heard a rumor the Yugo was going back into production as a 4 door -- will be called the Wego ... (I know -- this is old ... so am I) TAZ [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img] |

We owned a '76 Buick Century with the V6 for a while. You never see any of them, or their Oldsmobile equivalent anymore.
Traded the Buick for a '63 Riviera. Verne |
Re: So, what cars don't you see on the road anymore?
we were talking the other day on the amount of 90s hondas around here but you dont see any Ford taurus that was the most sold car on the road. They must not have held up.

Re: So, what cars don't you see on the road anymore?
When I was at St. Thomas on my cruise this year I spotted a 1987 Z24 Cavalier in good shape.. You just don't see those anymore.. I took a picture of the car.. I will try to downloaded here from my phone.. My first new car was an 89 Z24 Cavalier.. I loved that car... It was quick too..

A Merkur XR4TI. Couldnt tell you the last time I saw one. I see a little old lady with her pristine Mustang II a few times a week and even a few pinto wagons

Re: So, what cars don't you see on the road anymore?
Every once in a while I'll see an unmodified, stock 1985-90 Mustang V8. Egg-poacher wheels, twin beveled stainless tailpipes, "5.0" emblem on the fender. Always catches my eye.

Re: So, what cars don't you see on the road anymore?
Here's a Pacer for you, it's called the Flying Aquarium:

Re: So, what cars don't you see on the road anymore?
I have a bet with my co-worker to see which one of us spots a Pacer in the wild because he had one many years ago. Neither of us has seen one since the bet - the last year or so.

Re: So, what cars don't you see on the road anymore?
We used to call Pacers terrariums. (No water.)

SHO Taurus was a bad ride for what it was. Older guy I worked with in college at Auto Zone up in Bowling Green, KY had several of them and would go up to Mid Ohio and race one in street trim. And it was a 5 speed IIRC.. Ford Escort Dodge Caravans & Plymouth Voyagers of the 80s Dodge Conquest Dodge Omni Pontiac Sunfire Pontiac Aztec Toyota Celica Any K car (Relaint, Aries, LeBaron) Dodge Shadow Dodge Neon I could go on...

Re: So, what cars don't you see on the road anymore?
A guy brought out a Toyota Supra circa 1988 to our club show a few weeks ago and it had been a long time since I've seen one of those.

Re: So, what cars don't you see on the road anymore?
Here locally there is a 1989 Beretta listed for sale in our local newspaper classifieds. Also whenever I go for a walk downtown there is always a Merkur XR4TI parked in the same spot. For as many as they built I see very few 3rd gen Camaros around here anymore. I think I actually see more 2nd gens, including mine.

Re: So, what cars don't you see on the road anymore?
Subaru Brat! Probably for a reason...
[img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/thumbsdown.gif[/img] And around here, I don't see any of the mid eighties Camaros, Firebirds, or Corvettes despite the popularity of them. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/hmmm.gif[/img] |
Re: So, what cars don't you see on the road anymore?
The last Fiero I saw someone had made a 3 wheeler out of it.

Yep, I havent seen any z24 Cavaliers on the road in quite awhile. Lots of cars already mentioned that you just dont see.
