Betty The Big Blue Chevy — i would never trade this car for anything, i only about 6500 into her and i'd pay for it again if i had the chance. i only wish it had a working radio in it and got better mileage, but i understand with old cars that not everything is perfect.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Cons

A bit thirsty in town.

Bel Air — Good car, loved it. The 350 engine was strong and reliable. It finally submitted to cancer (rust) with over 250K miles on it. Never touched the engine or drive train and only small repairs and maintenance. Not bad on fuel either for a big highway boat, just keep it out of town and the foot off the floorboards.
