Other cars you've owned...

[paul]

Might be a intersting thread listing the other cars you've owned in chronological order, any interesting stories about them, pics, etc...

Hmm, lets see, in chronological order: (got the suzuki @ 20, 28 currently)

1987 Suzuki Samurai: wonderful, simplistic, fun! Didn't even have to put a for sale sign on it, someone at a intersection made me a great offer, it was sold 10min later.

1997 Saturn SL2: college car, factory freak; used to beatup on non-PI head mustang gt's

2004 Impreza RS: My first and only new car. Horrible mpg, no power, trans rebuilt @ 27k miles, good riddence!

1996 Mustang Cobra (currently own)

1989 Accord LX-I (currently own)

My parabolic curve of car ages follows trend as I'm getting a 87 gt soon

[Bass Man]

I have an 88 Samurai.


In the past 2 years..........

1990 Honda Civic... That was before I knew anything about Import motors.... Went up the mountain, pulled an e-brake, caught a rut, and bent the rear right EVERYTHING.

1986 GMC Safari... Looked sweet as hell, threw a rod and gave it to the junk yard.

1988 Samurai. Drove it for a while, blew that engine up, put a new one in it in a day, drove it for a while, then built it to what you see up there^^

Drove my parents 90 Pathfinder for about 4 months, then my brother gave me my 87 DX...

Not necessarily a bad thing! Between the Mercs, toyotas (RE-22), hondas, certain domestics, and others from that age, I really think was the pinnacle of durable car engineering was the late 80 / early 90s...

[Dr_Snooz]

1. 1976 Honda Accord. It was a major hooptie. Broke down constantly, but I learned a lot about wrenching from that car.

2.1982 Honda Accord. Bought it with the crankshaft in the trunk. Rebuilt the engine & decided l didn't like the trans, so I rebuilt it. Still didn't like it so bought an '83 scrapper (4-speed upgrade), rebuilt that & swapped. Then I was happy.

3.1993 Honda Accord. Didn't like it so gave it to Mom.

4.1995 BMW 540i. Whatever.

5.1989 Honda Accord LX-i coupe. Love it. Love it. Love it. Never get rid of it.

1. 1983 Nissan Pulsar NX, good first car, slid off a dirt road in a rainstorm and lost its life to a giant rock.

2. 1985 Toyota Celica GTS, fully loaded hatch, cherry inside and out, biggest mechanical piece of shit in the world.

3. 1986 Chevy Celebrity, 4 door, piss yellow, free car i sold to try to finance fixing the Celica.

4. 1986 Nissan Pulsar NX, excellent car until the tranny gave out, too expensive to fix.

5. 1988 Lincoln Towncar, fully loaded, formally owned by Tyson Chicken as an executive company vehicle, totally pimped out, turned it off one day and she never ran again. replaced just about everything on it with no luck, finally just gave up.

6. 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera Brougham, 3.8L V6, ugly as hell, completely falling apart, bulletproof engine, faster than my friends 83 camaro on the highway.

7. 1994 Honda Civic EX, 2 door coupe, black, 5 speed, mint condition until that jeep pulled out in front of me......

8. 2002 Honda Civic EX, same as the 94 inside and out, traded it in on.....

9. 2002 Honda Civic Si, awesome car, kept getting me in trouble, sold it to my parents who traded it in on a Saturn Vue (i tried talking them into keeping the car).

10. 1988 Honda Accord LX, current car, 276,000+ miles, runs like a top, gotta find that oil leak though.....

11. 1989 Honda CRX DX, completely gutted track car project gone wrong, too much unforseen body damage upon initial inspection. have lots of parts to sell.

First car, 2002 Nissan Sentra Spec V in Aztec Red (now you know where my username comes from)! 2.5L 4 cyl with 175hp, 180tq and a 6 speed. Lots of fun to drive, but incredibly prone to breaking down. Mine beat the odds and the motor never blew up (a lot of these did) but by 75K-ish, lots of things were going wrong and I traded it in on the RSX. It still had the original motor and it still ran, though! I miss it and if I could get it back, I definitely would.


Second car, 2006 Acura RSX 5spd. Due to the bad experience with the Nissan, I bought this new. It's been great! Sadly it served daily-driver duty for its first couple of years but now I use it mostly for recreational driving.


Last but not least (except in price!) my third car, 1989 Honda Accord LX-i. A buddy of mine owned it before I did. One time he was at my apartment and when he was leaving, he got the transmission stuck, so he left it in front of my apartment for a couple months. Quite a few other things were broken and/or out of adjustment as well. It eventually became clear that he wasn't going to do anything about it. I gave him 150 bucks for it last summer because I wanted to learn about working on cars without tearing into my newish RSX. Thanks to my friends, both on this forum and elsewhere, the project has been a success and the 3G has been very reliable as a daily driver (though I still keep on working on and improving it)!
