My dad had a Capri RS Turbo that he bought new from the dealership:

I was pretty young, but I remember him getting pulled over a few times...

Apparently that car was an unreliable shitbox and my parents sold it after only a couple years.

Then he had a late 70's Monte Carlo, and a '79 GMC Camper Special:

The truck was probably the vehicle he held on to the longest, basically throughout my childhood until I turned 16 and learned to drive on it. I loved this truck and if I could find a clean example to build today I would.

Then he gave up on camping & boating, sold the truck and got himself a lowered & moded Astro Van:

Now he's retired and going through a mid-life crisis and got himself a 2013 FX4 Ecoboost that he heavily moded making 390HP at the tires:
