    Well i will. I'm getting rid of the VN shortly as i've just picked up a VX. I've learnt so much about modern cars from the VN and i have a lot of admiration for the buick engine. It can take just about anything you can throw at it as long as you maintain it mechanically. All i hope is that the person that buys it off me will treat it well.

    LX SL Hatchback. Was immaculate till I clobbered a tree which made it not so immaculate any more. I'm not that fussed about it. Have had a lot of nice cars since then and can honestly say I don't miss any of them. I'm not sentimental when it comes to cars.

    My first as an 1990 EA Ford. Cheap as hell to fix if it had any issues.
    I think the main thing I miss about it is that I didnt care about it. I didnt care whether a mum with a baby swung their 4WD's door into it. It already had plenty of "shopping center" dings.

    Now I drive an immaculate VZ SV6 which I really care about and always carefully go through a list in my head before I park it somewhere.
    Is there a baby seat in the back?
    Is it a crappy car?
    Is it a two door car with long ass doors?
    Is it a tight spot?
    Will trolleys be taken between these cars?
    etc..

    I miss not worrying about my car more than the car itself.

    I kinda miss my 1st car, a VH base model. I liked two things about it, I don't care too much is someone runs into it (still wish I had it too slam brakes on when someone is tailgating me by about 2 metres) and I thought pouring fuel into carby on cold winter morning was character building.

    I only miss my first car because, if I still had it, it would be worth something. It was an FB Special, purchased for $200 in 1970 and sold for the same amount the next year. It cost almost nothing to run (my first ever petrol purchase was $2 worth for half a tank) and I remember buying a replacement horn contact kit for 11 cents from the local Holden dealer.

    My first car was an XF ute. Yeah to this day I still miss it!
    What I loved about it was that is was easy to work on, and spare parts were cheap. Also, being a ute, it was more practical vehicle when I occasionally help out my parents on the farm.
    I also miss the carrying capacity. SO handy when you rock up to a garage sale, as you never know what you'll find!

    I miss my first car, a 1984 Holden Gemini TG sedan. Such a great little car. Will miss my VP, she was damaged in the recent Perth Hail storm and I doubt the insurance will fix it, so she is due to be wrtten off in the next few weeks. Don't know what I will replace her with though.

    I miss my first car, even though it probably was the worst car ever. 1985 Holden Camira I spent 2 years building it back up with my dad when I was 16, Ended up in the big wrecking yard in the sky when I was 19. Ended up replacing the gearbox twice, engine twice (and a rebuild) most of the body panels, interior, respray, the whole lot.

    I had SO much fun in that little shitty car, I can recall racing on back streets, doughnuts, re-enacting dukes of hazzard jumps...

    I am a little embarrassed by this but the damn thing was fast, would wheelspin heaps, and chirp second gear, I drove it bloody hard too Oh, to be 18 again.
