1st - :ford: - '76 MK II Cortina 4-dr
2nd - :ford: - '78 MK II Escort Sport 2-dr
3rd - :mazda: - '88 323 3-dr
4th - pel: - 99 Corsa 3-dr
5th - pel: - 00 Corsa 5-dr
6th - :renault: - 00 Clio 5-dr
7th - eugeot: - '01 206 3-dr
8th - eugeot: - '01 206 5-dr
9th - pel: - '02 Astra 5-dr

So who's had what car and when?

 

[Josh]

1st- Was a loaned 1997 :chevy: Camaro Z28 6spd. It was one of my stepmother's cars; she loaned it to me until I found a car. I don't really consider it one of my cars really, cause I only drove it for like 2 weeks.
2nd- 2001 :honda: S2000
3rd- 1995 :lexus: GS300
4th- Don't have a 4th yet, but it's gonna be a MKIV :toyota: Supra TT dammit!...

 

[-Fred-]

1-1989 :acura: Integra RS

2-1990:honda: Civic DX Hatchback (this thing was flying... converted into a drag-only car... best time was 12.9@110mph... sold it to a friend)

3-1998:acura: Integra Type-:r: current car...

4-1991 :nissan: NX2000-winter beater i bought after the Integra

hopefully, my next car will be either a :mitsu: Lancer EVO VII or a :subaru: Impreza WRX STi...

So your "first" car is an S2000? Must be nice...

My first car was a 1984 :buick: Skyhawk wagon. Slower than death, it was.

My second car was a 1991 :toyota: Tercel. Still a slow car, but it felt like a :ferrari: after the ol' Skyhawk.

My third and current car is a 1998 :acura: Integra. Nothing too sexy, just an RS. Still, it feels like a :ferrari: compared to the ol' Tercel, so I'm moving in the right direction. :thumbsup:

 

[sn00pie]

My first car is going to be a :volvo: C70. I''ll get my license at 17 1/2 years and I'm 15 now. I know I'm getting the C70 because at the moment my Mom drives it and she's probably getting a new car this year, or next year, but to make a long story short. My dad is holding on to it so I can use it It's a T5 convertible, great car, I'm not sure but I believe it has approx 220hp, not sure though. And it's orange!

 

[MazKid]

GVX, You had an '88 323 too? LOL, I'm not alone!!! Was it Fiesta red? 4 speed?

Ohh and I've only owned 1 car:
:mazda: 323 SE hatch(3 door I guess).

Thanks fom making me think I'm not the only one with a 323.

 

[MazKid]

ohh and really to clear it up, I don't own it at all, but if I really want to own it I can claim it I guess, but then I have to pay insurence and stuff.

I'm currently looking for a :mazda: MX-3 GS(V6) to implant a :ford: Probe V6 that my dad has in the garage. He almost had one for me, blown engine(that's what I want cause I don't need a running engine in it), mostly mint condition, but the guy got it fixed and now thinking of it it wasn't what I wanted. It was the Mazda "peely" white(older white proteges and even Miatas had this paint, something wrong with the mixture made it peel off). And it had a lot of miles on it too. Another one will come around, I know it will just have to wait for it.

And my parents have owned over 25 cars, I'm not about to list them all...

 

[NocturnalPS]

I got a free 80 somthing :ford: Escort as my first car. My brothers friend just wanted to get rid of it. But i didnt keep that car for long. I sold it for $1000. Next car i have had was a 89 :mitsu: galant. I had that car for about 2 years and then gave that up for $2000. again. Im a good sales man. Anyways. My current car at the moment is a 90 :nissan: maxima with only 90,000 k on it as of right now. Its still running strong. I dont konw what i want next but ill have to let yall all know later.

 

[troy]

rx-7

 

[MazKid]

You don't have an RX-7...you're younger than me.

 

[troy]

I'm getting one..i picked it out and my parents are about to get it, 14,000 only

1993 with 77,000miles

 

[risingson77]

An FD3S as a first car? I don't know how to tell you this, but I think your parents are trying to get rid of you...

 

[MazKid]

LOL!!! or you're really spoiled to have your parents buy you a 14,000 car.

Or it's really for your parents but you will be driving it, or think you will be. And I wouldn't be too happy with an FD as a first car, the apex seals break around 50K miles, that one must have a rebuild. Insurence is going to cost way too much, and get into an acident and you're in debt.

But good luck anyway! lol. And if you need work on it bring it over here, my dad's an RX-7 specialist, and has been working on then for over 20 yrs.

 

[Ttone57]

My first car was a piece of s**t Pontiac 6000-- slowest car ever made! After that I got an '82 camaro-- that was sweet. I've also had 3 pickups and 3 Jeeps and a Dodge Intrepid. Now I drive an '88 Toyota P/U, lifted but ******g 4 cylinder-- can't take it much longerArrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggh!

 

[Sertsa]

Good grief. I'm thinking of all the cars I had to put up with until I made a regular living (at one point while in college I had a Pinto, ok)? No one would tail gate me, though.

My first car was nothing that fancy, but it was quick, at least--an old Plymouth Grand Fury ex-police car with a massive 440 cubic inch engine. Of course, it couldn't corner too well. And it had a bench vinyl seat, so once when I tried to corner too fast while wearing a suit, I wound up sliding over to the passenger side.

It didn't cost 14K, though. And especially didn't cost 33K, like an S2000. Hey, if you can get one of those, why not, I guess.

MazKid: I thought about an RX-7, but wasn't sure about their reliability and, especially, if I could find someone around here who knew how to work on them. Took me a while just to find a good Honda mechanic, and I never found a good one for my Nissan.


Anyway, since the list would be big, how about just the logos of some of the cars I've owned (and I just want to try using the logo smiles)?

My Mazda was a Japanese imported one.

It was called a Mazda Famillar and was white with a 1600cc injected engine. Was a 3-dr hatch. It had all the luxury stuff like elec. windows, power steering & air-con too.

Had that for car for about 2 years and had no problems with it. :mazda:

 

[AltF8]

Here goes:

First car was an '82 :chevy: Cavalier...whooboy! Hey, it ran.

Second car was a '79 :ford: Mustang Pace Car. Lots of torque and style, but it's nickname was "Tweaky"...

Third car was a eighty-something :toyota: Tercel-thing. Terrible car, but it ran too.

Fourth car (still own this one): '98 :dodge: Neon Sport. Nice car, and has done really well for us. This is the wife's car.

Fifth car was a '98 ontiac: Grand Prix SE. Rolled like the Titanic in corners, but it was comfy.

Sixth (and current) car is a MY02 :subaru: Impreza WRX Sedan (which is currently experiencing clutch slippage problems...).

 

[MazKid]

GVX-Mine is an SE, with a lot of LX parts like rims, tilt seat, underhood and dash dampers, and other stuff. Has full air and all. And yes it's a 1.6(they all were I think). Only problem with it soo far was a battery problem(from sitting for months)and trans problem(sliped in reverse and had a 1-2 gear hard shift). My dad fixed all of the stuff and it's a great car. That's the Mazda quality when Ford didn't screw it up...

You can't get your license at 17 1/2 in Holland
How did you think to do that?

Ah, so you would understand my pain...hey, did this thing have the same horrendous 3 speed auto with the bad torque converter? Mine did...

Third car was a eighty-something :toyota: Tercel-thing. Terrible car, but it ran too.

See, I had a 91, and I can't complain about after the Skyhawk...

Sixth (and current) car is a MY02 :subaru: Impreza WRX Sedan (which is currently experiencing clutch slippage problems...).

What, already? Must be a fun car to drive... :smilewink

I actually live in Belgium, I'm dutch, but I live in Belgium. So I can get my license at 17 1/2

(I live right on the Dutch-Belgium boarder, practically M'tricht)

[MazKid]

jees Jag you've had a lot of cars, nice to see an old 626 in there too...

And about that licence thing, yea here in St.Louis you can get your permit at 15, and get a licence at 16, and get a full licence at 18(the 16 licence lets you drive by yourself like normal, but there's time limits on when you can drive, like you can't drive between 1AM and 4AM cause stupid party kids have been wrecking on the way home).

I guess we're lucky...

I guess you are! Do you need a permit for scooters/mopeds over there?

 

[risingson77]

Hell, we don't even need permits for guns over here...


(Note: Although this is not technically true, you couldn't be blamed for thinking it sometimes.)

 

[Hooligan]

1985 Volvo 240 DL
Really my parent's former car, but under my name to keep their insurance down. For the 2 years I drove it, the odometer went from 99,000+ to 110,000+. Not quite fun to drive at that point.

1989 Mercury Sable GS
Something my grandmother bequeathed to me. Had only 25,000 miles on it when I got it in 1995 (she didn't really drive much). Very grateful for it during college, not that I knew any better what constituted a "good" car or a "bad" car.

1998 Subaru Outback Sport (Impreza)
My first new car, and first purchased car. Got a lot of use from it, but a lot of problems, too. Clutch went bad after 1 year...and then 3 more times after that within 5 months. Problem? Not me, thankfully, but a warped pressure plate that the boneheads at the dealership never caught. Started learning about cars because of this.

2001 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS
From the same dealership, no less. Apparently, I hadn't learned my lesson. But from my reading, Subaru was the car to have (I read a lot of British auto rags: CAR, evo). Since the Lancer Evo wasn't due here anytime soon and the [lying] sales rep didn't know exactly when the WRX was to arrive, the v5 RS was the one for me. Beatiful to drive, great handling, and *feedback*! A bit sluggish, but I was still learning.

2002 Subaru Impreza WRX
Why so soon? Last one got totaled (on vacation, by some guy drowsy on anti-depressants). And again, the same dealership. He gave me a hell of a deal, though, even after the many options. A better driver now, so I really miss the feedback (a problem to be fixed by 17" wheels), but everything else is fan-fricken-tastic. Want the STi version, now.

 

[Pako]

I don't know if your ready for this awesome list, but here we go, and in cronilogical order:

1972 - Toyota Corolla Deluxe (Finally died at 325,000 miles)
1981 - Ford Custom F150 which I totally restored and sold for crackers
1979 - Rabbit Diesel
*1985 - Nissan Sentra
*1991 - Buick LaSabre Limited
*1990 - Ford F150 LX

*indicates that I still own it...



There you have it, Pako's garage.

Too many 7,400 rpm clutch dumps? Smokin!!!

 

[GilesGuthrie]

1. 1982 :ford: Fiesta 950 Popular (it's what you would have got if you'd gone to a dealer and said "I'll have your cheapest new car please". Drove it flat out everywhere though, did me well for 4 yrs.

2. 1997 :subaru: Impreza Turbo (4dr). Went very fast for a year. Then it went very fast into the side of an oncoming cement truck.

3. 1988 :renault: 5 Campus. Hardly glam, but in 2yrs of ownership, it's cost us less than £1,000 excluding fuel, but including purchase cost, and it's difficult to argue with economics like that!
