The One That Got Away

[petegee77]

Laugh all you want (and no doubt will), but I still wish I had bought that '85 Chevrolet Citation X11. That and the '84 Toyota Celica GTS.

(I have no affiliation with either photo; just two I downloaded off the interwebz to show which autos I'm still jonesing over.)

On the Citation : No you DON'T.

On the Citation : No you DON'T.

Actually, I had an 81 base model. For all its warts (and it had many!) we still loved the size and concept. Drove an X11 in 85 and it was a light year increase over the stick shift Citation we had. Being a still-poor captain in the Army, we still couldn't afford an X11 (considering the 13% mortgage we had and the car payment for the Celica I mentioned above). But for some insane reason I really liked and still like the X11. Yup, . I can't deny it.

My BnL had a mint 302 for ski trips in the '90s when he and my sister lived in Montclair, CA. When they moved back to LA in the late '90s he sold it at a consignment lot for less than $10K. Makes me sick to my stomach. He doesn't like to talk about it.

Ouch! Same feeling I get remembering I sold all my Apple stock at $18.

I’m sure I’ve posted this thing before here. But my 2007 F150. Should not have sold it, but I think everybody has one in their history they shouldn’t have sold.

I’m still second guessing letting go of my 2004 CrownVic.

That looks to be more “Never Got Near” more than “Got Away”! ?
