How many G3s have you had

1.......

I think the 1 car and family hand downs are great examples to help motovate in keeping your ride. Lots of us say we wish we'd a kept that one (or 20)...lol.

I love owning an operating my grandfathers old car. It's not a G3, and he only had it about 3 years before his death. But he loved it and wanted me to have it.

I know what you mean, my grampa gave me his 78 Impala back in early 90's. Loved that car, funny thing was my lil brother and I were the first ones to take a ride in it when he bought it at 1 year old.

Me too! I rode home with my grandpa in the car during the 6 hour ride.

I've owned two. my '76 Malibu Classic sedan that my parents bought brand new, it was the car I came home from hospital when I was born a few months later, the car I learned to drive in, and the car that took me all through high school and most of college. It was also the most reliable car my parents had owned during the 80s and 90s. I drove it for 8 years before rust and lack of funds/space had me let it go. I hated to let it go, considering it was truly a one-owner car, but in 2001 it wasn't feasable to keep it, and replace floors, trunk pan, and quarters. I parted it out and kept most of the parts from it, that have since found their way into my other cars.

Now I've got a '77 Malibu Classic sedan optioned nearly the same as the 76 except green instead of 'special order blue' It also has 1/2 the miles of the 76

My grandparents on my mother's side owned two, one a '74 with a 400 (?) and the other a '75 with a 350. They drove them for a long time and my uncle got hold of the parts. Therefore, I have a hood, and front fenders out back. I got mine and later found out they owned some. It was wicked cool to see poloroids of them in my driveway.
