Turbo-87
G.O.A.T.
If you are a car buff like me, you are either a person who goes through a lot of cars in a lifetime just because you are always interested in experiencing different makes/models or you are someone who has a car that is like a part of the family that will always be in the garage in some form.
My car history is as follows from age 16 to 45 with approx years owned. I don't mention all of them because some were just daily driver cars/trucks to get me around while my pleasure car was garaged. I'm the guy you see parking a dozen spots away from anyone only on a sunny day.
Anyway, the car I wish I had back was the 1987 Buick Regal Turbo T. It was such a bruiser on the street and the turbo whistle made it sound like an F14 Tomcat. It did low 12's in the quarter mile on pump gas and street tires. It got compliments every time I drove it and surprised the heck out of more than one Mustang/Camaro/whatever on the street. At least I know it is in very good hands with the current owner and is not being beaten to death. I did tell him that if it ever came time to sell to make sure he called me.
Just curious about some of your car history as well.
