Default Cars you've sold

Has anyone sold a car they wish they could have back? Any regrets or cars that are now gone but still hold a place in your heart. Here's my 1969 SS I had for 13 years. I sold it with no regrets but enjoyed taking to car shows and did very well. Just time to move on. I'm curious to know how your old ride compares to the C7. My chevelle underwent many changes over the years and ended up with a 540 ci 650 hp street motor with a 6 speed manual transmission, it went like hell but can't hold a candle to the all around handling and sophistication of the C7.

Lots of 'em. But not a C7 since that's the forum we're in.

I realize that this is a C7 forum but I also know that people on this forum also own and have owned other cars as well. I would like to see them. I would like to see what led them to purchase a C7.

Yup. The Powerglide A2 was something alright. I'd surmise a C2 A2 running flat out, it would shift into 2nd around 75 to 80 mph +/- and lay down some 2nd gear scratch at that.
