My grandmother had one of those Challengers. Blue with a red and orange pinstripe. Not saying it is a grandma car though. She was probably 42 or so back then.
My dad had a Taurus. Seemed like it was a 1990. Green with tan leather. |

1990 Buick LeSabre Custom - Loved this car, collected thousands of dollars in parking tickets when I was in college with this baby. Stopped running one day and my roommates smashed everything on it that was breakable.
1988 Buick LeSabre Custom - Dottie, drove her for 2 years until the brakes exploded and just the parts would have been more than I paid for the car. 2001 Honda Accord - Bought it from my mom after Dottie went to the junkyard in the sky 2002 Toyota Sequioa - Daily driver, 206K miles and never done anything but tires and oil changes. Almost time for a new ride. 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500 - Work/Plow truck for our properties. 203K miles and has two engine rebuilds. Snow plows give trucks AIDS, paid more in repairs than I did for the truck. 2011 Toyota Camry - Wifes car, she loves it.
