Well, I started with my first "Tuner" car, a 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse, GS. Automatic, intake, exhuast, wheels. Minor stuff. Loved that car despite being automatic. Only had 76k Miles on it when I bought it. Decided to move on, and try and get a manual eclipse. Well, day before the guy was coming to my house to pick it up, i hit a puddle:

Before:

After:

OUCH.

Well, after that i got an 1991 1.8L Laser 5 Speed with 86k on the clock. It just sat at my parents house bc i got an ecllipse short after:

Had it for about 4 months, and sold it after I got this [the car I regret most] I was still in that rice stage, and about 2 months after I had it, I changed the looks of it alot, and it looked 10x better then from when I got it IMO.

Before:

Started getting better:

As many know, that car was nothing but problems. Prolly did about 3k in maintenance work alone.
Sold that eclipse about mid November 07 ish?
Then I bought my current car, a 96 VW Jetta VR. Was bone stock besides some blown struts and springs. Changed a few minor things, but still mostly stock. has been my best car to date.

Things to come: Painting my wheels black with red lip, new suspension, Painting the hood Red [waiting on weather], Touch up some of the paint, badge less grill, Ecodes, new VR Lip [cat claimed mine], and prolly some other odds and ends.
