My first car was a 1982 Honda Prelude. It was so small I was pratically driving from the back seat. WHen I drove with the sunroof open, it looked like the car had hair because you would see my head sticking out of the top of the sunroof. (I'm 6'2")

1991 Honda Accord (White) - Head gasket went at 137,000. Found out there was a 4-5" crack in the radiator a week after inspection (sounds fishy, doesn't it?). The car was always very reliable prior to "the incident"
2003 Toyota Matrix (Black Metallic). Never had a single issue with that car. Depreciated very quickly though...

Let see first there was th 86 Honda Prelude 2.0 Si I gave to my step father. Then I picked up a 89 Dodge Daytona. I traded that in on a 96 Blazer that I only had a short time before I figured out I couldn't afforded the payment on E-1 pay. So I unwillingly picked up a 2000 Accent. After the dealership bought back the Accent for the tranny dropping into neutral at 60 mph going down the high way. Then I got a 2000 Cavalier. After that I needed a 4 door car so I got my 03 Spec V which I had until it got ran over by a semi in Nov. Now I have my 93 Eagle Talon TSi AWD

-1999 Saturn SL2 (first and current): 116ci (1.9l) I4 FWD auto
--undergoing many things.
-1989 GMC S15 Sierra Classic (second and sold): 262ci(4.3l) V6 4WD auto
--Bone stock, +200k on it, sold it and now I really want it back. :(
-1984 Firebird SE (third and kinda current): 305ci (5.0l) V8 RWD auto
--Bone stock, pretty much all original. 110k chassis, 30k engine. Original engine blew on 95. Sending unit was bad, didn't know oil pressure dropped, 0 oil pressure + 75mph = rod thru block. Currently fixing interior/weatherstripping/engine problems. Planned swappage in the near future.
Only bought 1 of em. The Saturn. The other two were given to me. Well, the bird is "mine"...supposedly anyway. We'll see. (shoulda been signed over 2 years ago. Just got it now, and it still not signed to me. I just fix it, apparently)
Yes, I claim the ram as mine, but it's really my dads. I drive it and I do all the work on it and maintain it. So, if you REALLY want it in there..
-1997 Dodge Ram 1500 (second): 318ci (5.2l) V8 LA series engine 2WD auto
--110k-ish on it, almost destroyed trans. Low band is just about destroyed, high band is almost gone, kickdown band is 3/4's gone, reverse works really well though.
And I'm turning 21 in August.

1st - 97 Jeep Wrangler 4.0L 5spd - terrible grip, but surprising well balanced. Got my license on this, then I actually learned to drive. My theory is if you can make a ****ty car go quickly, you can drive anything.
2nd - 88 dodge ram 1500 - bought and sold for 100. Crappy v6 which only half of the cylinders worked, terrible 3 speed auto, and a blazing top speed of 78. Yeah it was a piece, but it was all mine.
3rd - 01 SAAB 9-5 Aero - goes like stink and parts are expensive as hell, it's swedish and I love it to death.
possibly soon 4th - 87 RX7 - know almost nothing about it other than it has one of them silly wankels.

4th car was a 81 chevy camaro z28 (slightly worked 350)
5th car was a 74 chevy nova (355 worked, was my pride and joy but had to sell :cry: )
6th car was a 86 chevy camaro iroc-z (305 junk)
7th car is a 01 mitsubishi eclipse (wonderful on gas)

1st: 1997 Eagle Talon (Cinnimisson Red, the burnt orange color). Was a pretty sweet first car. But i hit some asian, she blew a stop sign and i t-boned her at like 40+. Parted it out, and sold the rest for 1k. I made almost $2,000 off the deal :mrgreen:
2nd:Mazda MX-6 LS. 6cyl, 5spd... black. it was a cool little car, sold it to a buddy of mine. He flipped it into a ditch, crawled out the window, him and his passenger. With minor bruises. lol.
3rd: 1990 Nissan 240sx. S13. Painted 2-ton flat black top, gloss red bottom trim. Drifted out, i drifted it in englishtown at DG Trials. Sold to a member on here, who in 2 weeks installed a sr20det, and then flipped it into a ditch , seriously injurying his passenger.
4th: 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX. Did alot of minor mods to it. loved the car sooo much. i felt so comfortable in it. Well, needless to say, like my previous dsm. i crashed it, and tottalled it, loseing over $4,000 on the deal. Insurance limited what i could take off of it, not letting me take my $1000 Thermal R&D turboback off of it i had installed 5 days before the crash :mad:
5th: 1991 Eclipse GSX: Major mods, ported and built head, galant vr-4 trans... lots of good ish. UP FOR SALE RIGHT NOW!!!! $3.400 or best offer. Deciding to sell, before i crash it, seems i have a knack for crashing dsm's, so its best i sell it before i crash it haha.
6th: Looking for a civic hatch, or a street bike. one or the other. Maybe a integra, or prelude... something in the honda family to last me awhile. Will trade my dsm for one.
