Your past cars? Make a list

[98GSXdude]

I've had tons of cars, but most were just bought to flip. I'll only list the ones that were "mine", and give a little background on each. Btw, I'm 22.

1996 Nissan Pickup 4x4 5-spd. My father bought it new in '95, then gave it to me in '04 when I got my license. After I saved up a good chunk of money on my own, I sold it with 165,000 miles, all original. Neither of us ever had problem or put a dollar into it besides regular maintenance since new. That truck was solid!

This is a stock photo I found online, I can't find an exact picture of mine right now. I think its on my other computer. Mine was exactly like this one though, same color, same stripe, same wheels, everything, not one difference.



The truck was sold for this, 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX 5-spd. I bought it at a dealership with 20k original miles. Car was so clean! Then I got the mod bug and a few months later it had a 50 trim, blah blah. Such a money pit!



After it became unreliable, mainly being my fault for modding it so much. I sold it because I wanted something comfy and dependable. My cousin had an 01 Maxima at the time and I thought it was the perfect car, so I picked up one for myself. 2001 Nissan Maxima SE 5-spd. The car really was great, I had a lot of in it, a solid choice for a cruiser. I never modded the car, and eventually got bored with it and wanted something a little more exciting.



Instead of selling the Maxima, I went back to my roots and picked up something on the side. 1990 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX 5-spd. I bought this as a project car, and due to working a lot and going to school, I never had time to finish it.

This is the only picture I can find of it right now. They're probably all on my other computer also.



Well I gave up on my 1g project, and decided to sell it along with my Maxima for something fun that I can actually drive. My aunt had a really nice '96 300ZX 2+2 that she bought new in 95 from the same dealer that my father got the pickup from. I loved that car and wanted one of my own. So I found a 1993 Nissan 300ZX 5-spd 2-seater N/A locally with only 60k original miles and in mint condition, naturally I had to pick it up. Car was so much fun, it was my first RWD (besides truck) so I was learning a whole new way of driving. I had plans to do a TT swap eventually, but then hit a guardrail with it after driving over a patch of oil in the rain. Car was still fine to drive because I wasn't going very fast when it happened, but had some body damage so I didn't feel like fixing it. I decided to sell the car in its current condition, and find something else.




I couldn't have planned it any better, because about a week later I stumbled upon this. 1994 Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo 5-spd. I knew as soon as I saw it that the car was mine, it was everything that I had dreamed of for my old one to be. It was a mint, 2-owner car that had been garaged its entire life and left completely stock (hard to find with TT's). A few months after that it had about 400hp and was a very wild ride compared to what I was use to. It was a pain to drive sometimes though because it spun even my sticky Falkens in 3rd gear, so either you were having traction issues, or in a higher gear going very fast. Such a pretty car though...



Well that got annoying after a while, plus it had an "old" feel to it, so I wanted something newer. So a few years ago I picked up my current car, 2003 Nissan 350Z Enthusiast. This was my daily driver for a while before I got the Tiburon, and it did a great job at it. Car was smooth and quiet, while also being quick and sporty. I ended up getting bored of how "blah" the car is stock and wanted to sell it, its good at everything but not great in any of it. So I recently purchased some wheels, coilovers, sway bars, camber arms, etc, and its a totally different ride. I'm now more into turns than speed and have no desire to sell the car any time soon.

This picture was taken before any suspension mods so its a lot lower now, but here she is...



We'll see where the future takes me
