1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera with 150k miles on it (about 60k on the engine). It was my dad's car before he got a 2002 Grand Am.

Inline-3 (yes, three) Geo Metro.

I had it for an hour before my dad figured out it was too small for me. The first car I acutally used was an I4 1992 Pontiac Lemans.

It's all been downhill from there.

1964 Dodge Dart.
2-Door.
Push button shifter on the dash.
273 C.I. V-8.
14 " Chrome reverse wheels.
Dual exhaust with Thrush glass packs.

Drove it in 1970.
Friends Girlfriend wanted to drive it fast and hit a tree going around 90.
I was passenger, pushed her down on the seat right before the wreck.
Almost knocked me out, luckily I hit my head and saved my life.

I miss that car.

A 1965 Ford 1/2 ton pickup. It had a six cylinder with a three speed manual transmission. Practiced burning out in a farmers field. It lasted 10 days after my sixteenth birthday. I was hit head on by a drunk driver, totaled both vehicles and killed him.

At last a drunk driving story where the CORRECT person gets killed.

As morbid as that may sound.

1988 red Honda Prelude. I got it off family in the summer of 2000 for $2500, the cost of repairs after its latest accident. My cousin didn't notice the transport ahead of him and its rear end fvcked up the car's front end. And that was after my other cousin had something run into the rear end and mess that up. As for me, I had it a couple months before getting a full sized Chevy pickup to drive into the rear side just between the wheel and the trunk. Pressed the side a good six inches in. Insurance wrote it off, which covered repairs, and I drove it up to this week. Repairs were eating me alive, though.

Anyone interested in buying it?

Got my '89 VW Fox in July 2000. Paid 1000$ canadian for it, and it hasn't cost me that much in repairs yet. (that doesn't include "normal" maintenance/oil/tires/etc.) Only let me down twice: starter failed 2-3 years ago, and last winter it wouldn't start when we had some -40 celcius temps, even with booster cables...

About a year after I bought it, the hood was getting somewhat rusty on its front edge, so prior replacement, I painted those "stripes"... :laugh:

Here's what it looked like after some paint touch-ups (and a new hood ):
My Alpine White Fox, though it's more rusty now
