My 1984 Buick Regal LTD that i mentioned in Tamiya Cowboys thread. this car has gone through **** and back. bought it in grade 11 english class from a friend for 800 bucks lol. first night i launched it over an alley and lost hubcaps, first year i hit the 'loop de loops" in the highway south of town and launched it pretty far and ended up hurting a universal joint.
When I first got it and got the checkered flag rims on it

My 1988 Plymouth Voyager. This van is bit unique, It was from Canadian Forces Base Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. It was a test subject from the study done in the 1980's about the possibility of using propane for the base vehicles. I got it with 198k kms on the clock and the van currently has 230k on it now. still runs like a top, oil is clear 2 years later of driving, and it only has a small amount of rust. Unfortunately the GF was driving it yesterday and let the door go in the wind and broke it...

My 2004 Optra. i sold this car because i wasnt using it. took a large hit on it to. bought it new christmas eve 2004 because I only had the propane van at the time and finding fuel is a pita!! also dad's van was for work and it wasnt up to 10 hour drives. I bought it mostly to go to Saskatoon each weekend to visit my mother in the hospital. Mom had developed lymphoma which when treated turns into 1 of 3 possible things. Well mom's turned into Leukemia. With the help of her brother as a donor of white blood cells and chemo treatments she overcome it over 6 years ago this year.

My temp home/travel trailer. Due to housing problems around here and d******** land lords, I bought this in a pinch to have a place to live until i can get out of this town. its a 2010 Forest River Salem Estate. 40' long and very very nice inside! kind of a pain to tow being so long lol. Also the f-350 SD hooked to it had a hard time pulling it cause it only has the 5.4 in it.

yup. she's all skirted in and blocked up. its a "park model" rv. ment to move to one place and leave it. figured this was the best way to have our own place, have a yard, keep the dog, and be able to leave in a year or two without selling a house and taking a 50k hit lol.

seriously the housing here is MESSED UP! an apartment of the same size with no yard, one parking spot and pay power and gas is $1000/month minimum. add a second bedroom you are looking at $1500/month. rent a house your looking at about $2500/month. and there is no vacancy because everyone has everything and their garage rented out to capitalize on this housing shortage.

Heck they are making 3 new condo buildings and had the pre sale a few weeks ago and they sold each condo for 120k+ within 3 hours! one parking spot, pay power, pay condo fees on top of that to.

well due to the flood and evacuation i had to move the trailer out in a hurry. skirting is toast now and i honestly am not going to do that wood framing thing again. guy that did it for me (not cheap either) did a horrible job, missed the wood with some screws, screwed into the fiberglass bulk head, didnt even screw some pieces of wood to other pieces!!!

so im saying screw it and ill pour out the cash for the "RV skirting" and get it done right. (good for -40 to)
