We had a 95 Tahoe in the same color pictured.

2011, we got a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited in green. It looked badass, but was a pile of shit.

In late 2008, we got the redesigned 3rd-gen Forester in Sage Green. This, except without the hood bra.

How about you folks?

What specifically didn't you like about the Unlimited? That's the color i would want, looks good.

My first car was a green '97 Jetta Automatic. It was $1500 and lasted me 5 years, I'm glad I don't have it anymore, haha.

Almost the same as you. My current DD is a '12 Wrangler 6MT in Black Forest Green. My mom had a green Tahoe exactly like the one you pictured, and had another green Tahoe from the generation after that. At one point we had an Olds Alero in green as well.

My aunt has a dark green Daewoo Lanos, just like this:

The front is ugly as hell, but the rear end has a certain Supra vibe. Still, Daewoo's business in Europe didn't go well so it's probably a POS.

Saab 9-3, a long bloody time ago.

My dad owned a 1972 (?) Karmann Ghia that was just about this color (this is not his). He called it "The Pickle." Sadly, I was never old enough to drive it. He got rid of it just as I turned 16 and replaced it with an '82 Rabbit. He drove a forest green Beetle before that, but that car is only on the very fringe of my memory.

My '79 Sierra Shortbed, '96 Yukon, '79 MGB, and '90 900T were all green. I had them all so long ago (other than the Saab) that the only pictures I have of them are of the film variety. I taught one of my friends in high school how to drive manual on the '79 Sierra.

Forest Green 2000 Dodge Durango. My parents bought this before they bought their blue one.

Very uncomfortable and it was pre pentastar and 4 speed auto. Terribly slow and poor mpg. Cheap quality inside and out. Both hard and soft tops at leaked.

Oh that's terrible!

A guy at my work has a regular Wrangler and only gets about 110 miles per tank... That sounds awful!

My dad had a lime green 73 Torino wagon...with one and only one option......

A 400 cubic gas guzzling V-8.

It had those tiny pie plate hubcaps.....I used to take the air cleaner off and drag race it.

It didn't go really fast but it sounded like it was gonna suck the hood down into the carb.

In a Mini; let them mock me as My Mini Countryman is higher than you > George McNally 03/17/2014 at 16:27

My mema had a 72 3 speed Gran Torno Sport 351 Cleveland in British Racing Green. (Sold it in the late 80s)
That car is now worth 35,000$
Yeah

O_O 110 miles a TANK?! Does he get what, like 5 mpg?!

The worst I've gotten was 12-13. Highest on a single tank was 16.something

Turns out he has a bad O2 sensor...

but the fact that he knows his current range is pretty sad, means he hasn't bothered to fix it for some time now... That's exactly like throwing money away.

Wow, he doesn't sound like an economical guy.
