Lars Tetens

So when I got out of college and about a year and a half after I got my first job, I figured I'd get the "top of the line" Datsun which at the time was an 810. I found a 1979 2 door coupe (brown) and bought it in 1986 for $3,500.00 which is the most I've ever spent on a car in my life even to this day. It onlly had 75,000 miles on it.



I drove it for 8 years until and it rotted out from under me. It wound up with 230,000 miles and was still running like a top. It had the six cylinder (2.8l) engine in it that they put in the 280Z. Mine was a five speed which was kind of rare as most were automatics.

So in 1994, I got a hell of a deal on a 1986 Buick Century station wagon. The transmission was blown so I picked it up for $800.00. It only had 80,000 miles on it. It was white with the wood grain sides, just like this one:

I drove this car up until 1998 and retired it when the 2.8l chevy six cylinder was too beat to run anymore. It had over 200,000 miles by that point.

I think I may have shat myself when I read this sentence. From the look sof his site, he strikes me as some contemporary douche nozzle that likes to toot his own horn a bit to much.

The world might just not be ready for Lars Tetens, but the real question is, are you?

It's official... I shat myself for sure on that one.

So in 1998, my girlfriend at the time had a 1987 Buick Electra (same as a Park Avenue but a lower model, less trim, etc.) She lost a wheel cover so we went to the local junk yard looking for one and lo and behold, they had a 1987 Buick Park Avenue for sale. 155,000 miles and they were asking $1,700.00 for it. It looks like this but darker blue:


I still have the car and use it as my daily driver. It now has 301,000 miles on it, I put a new engine in at at 272,000 so it should last for another few years

Sorry 8-5-8, I was trying to hijack KevinWHoecker's thread!

I've had all kinds of other cars in the meantime as well. In 1985, I bought a 1972 Cadillac Fleetwood limousine for $800.00. It looked like this, even though this is a photo of a 1971 (they had slightly different grilles in 1972):



I had this car up until last year. The frame rotted out. I could have fixed it but I got more interested in Jaguars

In 1984, I bought a 1970 Cadillac DeVille convertible. I had two of these, the first one was dark blue, the second one was tan. This is a photo of a 1969. The 1970s looked almost exactly like this but the grilles were slightly different:

GOOD POINT!!

I REALLY should get off my butt and get going on that........

When I was in college, I bought a 1963 Chevrolet Impala convertible just like this one:


I paid $600.00 for it. I had to put a quarter panel on it and paint it. Mine was maroon. I wrecked it when a deer ran out in front of me in the fall of 1983

LOL fine job you're doing... allow me to assist...

When I was 16 my "learner" car died a noble death after being driven by my mother for 10 years before it was bestowed upon me. At that time I was gifted a 1978 Thunderbird that my uncle had purchased off the showroom floor in late '77. It originally looked like this, but was later repainted dark green, retaining the puke green (jade) interior.

I had two of these when I was in high school. 1964 Chevrolet Bel Air station wagon:


One was light blue, the other was aqua.

THE FIRST CAR I EVER DROVE My parents white 1968 Chevrolet Biscayne station wagon:

This is a photo of an "Impala" the Biscayne was the strip model, bottom of the line with a 307 ci engine NO TRIM and only two tail lights one each side instead of three.

Did Kevin say something?

[rpcky16]

This is my sweet ride an 89 Jeep Comanche 4x2, 5spd, straight 6 with 170k on it.

eventually I got tired of the ridicule and sold the "thunderchicken" to a friend for $1000 and bought a 92 escort at auction:


Mine was tan though

After the escort met an early demise at the hands of a tornado, I bought a 94 Ranger, mine was not 2 tone, but a lovely plum color with some nice wheels on it...
