R.I.P. Beloved vehicles that are now gone (wrecked,traded in,sold,or lost in divorce)

On my goodness don't get me started, I have had so many vehicles with big dreams, but life happened so.....

But planning for her Excursion to be my forever vehicle, life after almost 20 years of marriage is a little more stable, and I'm a little more set in my ways.

I'm with @AdventureAwaitsTN. Sometimes life got in the way, other times I made stupid decisions. The biggest regret / mistake I think I made was getting rid of my old suburban. It was a great family rig, and was setup very well, but I thought I needed more luxury in my life. Live and learn. I sure miss our "beaster" :smile:

Yep! Had one 1984 two tone blue, that one will fall into the stupid decision column.

I miss my Suzuki Grand Vitara. Not many people are into them but it's a pretty capable little machine. It had a V6, low-range 4x4, solid rear axle, and a body on frame construction. I had mine all sorted out nicely and then I sold it to get something with more room after my first daughter was born:

My buddy Tim lost his 2wd Toyota extended cab last winter in a 3time roll over accident when he hit black ice on the highway...thankfully the big man upstairs didn't punch his card and I got to keep my friend...he was thrown out passenger side window over 50 ft c1e39ec8-3acb-4550-8792-a9d73fe2277a.jpg

Love the old Range Rover. I watched an episode of Mountain State Overland on Youtube last night and one of the crew was driving a Range Rover that looks a lot like yours. IMO the coolest truck in the video:
I just watched that same episode and was so jazzed to see it in action...thanks for sharing it
 
I'm at work so no pictures but:
1991 Isuzu Trooper
1979 K30 Chevy truck
1984 GMC Jimmy (full size, lots of mods)
1967 Willys CJ6
1978 Chevy Suburban.

No pics (it was before I got into photography) but I still miss my old red 1989 VW Corrado G60 (was told it had 220hp, not sure if true but it was fast!!)
Then there was my old 1988 Volvo 760 GLE, my first and last v6 powered vehicle (just over 200.000 miles on it, no rust and everything worked!)
And my 1991 Volvo 240GL (2.3 8v), my first rwd car (I am still looking for another one).

'92 Chevy. Got stolen Christmas weekend last year, which lead to me buying my Xterra. While the truck had its problems, and the Xterra is a far better overlanding platform, I do miss it sometimes.
