03' Ford Mustang (Because it was only $9,000) ---> 02' Mitsubishi Galant (Because I wrecked the Mustang) ---> 07' Pontiac GT (Because I hated the Galant) ---> 12' Mercedes C250 Coupe (Because I hate American cars now) ----> 08' BMW 328i Coupe (Because the Merc had A/C problems and I made MBUSA take their car back) ---> 13' Audi A5 Quattro (Because I got a banging new gig and gave my GF the bimmer)

My first car was a 1995 Green Mazda Protege. It was crap and I spent more money on trying to keep it alive than I actually spent on buying it.
I now drive a 2003 Nissan Maxima. It's a fun car to drive. Not the best gas mileage though, so I'm looking into getting something else later on.

My first car was a 99/98 dodge intrepid. It was my mom's until she totaled it and my dad repaired it (by repaired i mean I had a golf club to prop the hood or beat it with, jumper cables, and gallon of water at all times). It was a clunker . . However I was pretty darn popular because I was one of the few teenagers with a car, it was comfy and seated a lot friends. We called it the Land Barrage.

Then when I graduated high school in 2005 got 05' Dodge Ram 1500 single cab. I kept this until 2011 I had to get rid of it because I would be driving down the road at low speeds or yielding it would just shut off and of course took it to the stealer-ship and they said nothings wrong with it, we replaced the fuel pump and didn't help so I sold it.

07' VW GTI (2011)

My first car was a 1992 Toyota Corolla 1.3. Two years later it had so much rust that it was not approved anymore. So I ended up with a 1996 Ford Mondeo 2.5 V6. The car is much faster than the Toyota, but it is not completely healthy so it spits out the hoses in the engine compartment. I'm able to run it anyway, but it is terrible to reverse because the engine dies after a few seconds. YAY!

My first car was a 1997 Pontiac Sunfire, it only had 120 000KM and was over 10 years old (only one owner). The car got totalled because of a hit and run incident caused by an idiot driving illegally.
Still haven't recovered from the loss a few years back.

My current car is a Chevrolet Sonic 2013, manual transmission... Oh yeah baby!

Pic I found online, but that's what my baby looked like:

I don't have a pic of my first car, but it was a 1962 Vw Ragtop.
Then I had a 1990 Ford Bronco II
then its transmission blew up and I didn't have a car and was just using my dad's truck

Then I moved back to AZ and got this


1978 Datsun 280z (in the middle of wetsanding the paint because of all the oxidation)
Had to give it up because I needed a car with more than 2 seats.

Traded it to my GF's uncle for his 90 something buick regal. It blew up its engine, so I junked it and...

Now I have this



1990 Acura Integra (DB1)

So far in the past 1 1/2 years I have...
Blown up the engine
Burned out the clutch (that was trash when I bought the car)
Replaced the blown up engine for a good one.
Blew up the transmission that was in the car when I bought it
Blew up the transmission that I replaced
Replaced said blown up transmission (transmission #3 now)
Swapped the head for a built head I bought because mine had bad valve seals
Blew up the engine that I bought that was rebuilt (with 25k on it at time of engine failure) Engine blew because it over reved and spun its bearings

Now its sitting, with a dead engine under the hood, and a good engine where the passanger seat should be. I'm currently taking it apart, and replacing the piston and rods with forged pieces, installing a GSR engine girdle, and arp main studs.

Should be in the car by next month.
