I have had: first car at 17, a fully restored (every bolt, seal, piece of plastic, etc) 1966 Mustang GT with every option (inc. automatic ). It was built though and was known throughout my whole school/neighborhood.....it got totalled by some grandma who flaked out at the wheel. Next car with a buy out from my dad was a 1988 Mustang GT bought from a service manager for Lincoln Mercury and outfitted with all the ford and mac parts possible....t-tops too....light grey and red interior, nice. then some POS due to school and buying a house...then a stock 1992 acura gsr, and then a 1997 (in late 1996) VW GTI VR6, immediately sent to a VW racer for the 'something something'.....it was fast, v-8's cried I had a turbo or NOS....fastest was with a VW corrado and BMW M3 to about 150mph (in the rain).....
Now a 1996 Saturn SC2....dont laugh I like the car a lot even though I bought it to get me to school and back only when I reupped for a comp sci degree and sold my VW ...space frame, only 2500 lbs, nice options....just wish for RWD...
See It Here..... This year I am doing a turbo install, transmission with quaiffe, etc....then next year paint and full leather interior as soon as I find out what seats I like. 350hp and 2500lbs do the math. I can afford a new car, I just dont see the point, esp when it's rare I see 'myself' driving by.
No one ever believes me at first when I tell them it's a saturn Ron Jeremy has one too, he has a funny quote 'I have a 9 and three quarter inch <.....> I drive a saturn, because it was given to me....you ask those other guys what they drive .... [names off a bunch of male actors including tom cruise] and that <p..ck> Willem Dafoe what they drive.'
