hmmmmm...

1. 1985 Buick Century limited 2.5L (first car, got it for free. drove it for a year and all i put on it was rear tires... eventually the exhaust valves went of cyl. 2 and 4, causing the top speed over 10 miles at WOT to be 70mph. i parked the car after getting car number 2 and later gave it to my friend when his caravan **** a tranny. his little brother is now driving the car since he went to college. i see it driving around town often.)
2. 1997 Eclipse GS 2.0L 420A ( Baught it from a guy who blew the timing belt for $500. I had the head redone and fixed up the car. it's now my daily driver.)
3. 1987 Nissan 200SX 2.0L SOHC Dual Plugs Per Cylinder (baught for $100, replaced the distributor with a re-man for another $100 and drove it for a summer and then sold it for $600)
4. 1963 AMC Rambler CLassic 550 193cu. in. six (perfect body, no rust and super straight and in primer. 3-on-the-tree w/ overdrive. Paid $750 for it and don't regret it. if another car breaks, i still have her).
5. 1966 Mustang Coupe 289 (4 speed manual, 8 in. rear, it's been 150 mph no prob with stock 289 2V motor)
6. 1974 Ford E200 Open Road conversion 5.0L (3 speed auto, fridge, sink, stove, storage, and two twin size beds. inhereted it from my great aunt. it has 66,000 miles, oil change ever 3 months or 3,000 miles, even when in storage, and current license, tabs, and insurance while in storage. drove it home out of storage and had 0 problems with a 100 mi. trip.)

I still own ALL cars accept number 1 and 3.

PS- looking for parts for the GS... 5sp tranny is going

i love cars and they love to break down on me or i wreck them.

1. 1981 Chevy Chevette. i hated this car i got pulled over so many times in this because it looked like a ghetto gangster mobile. i had to do a clutch job on this before i could start driving it. but i at least had a nice system that i put in this car

2. 1987 Subaru GL. i got into a accident in this car and it crushed like a beer can and i broke my pelvis i lost my system in the car accident in this, what a shame

3. 1990 Plymouth Acclaim. i got pulled over doing a 126MPH in this car i got written for 10 over because i explained i was trying to get home before i fell asleep at the wheel and i fell asleep waiting for the cop to run my plates and when the cop woke me up i freaked out. i sold this to a 16 girl with another big system in it

4. 1997 Ford Ranger. i claim this truck as mine because when i was dating the girl who owned this i paid for the payments and had my name on the insurance

5. 1994 Volkswagon Golf GTI. this was my first decent speedy 4 cylinder car it was super fun driving on dirt roads i had a decent system in this car

6. 1996 Toyota Tacoma. this had the awesome 2.4L DOHC engine in it and after i put slat bags in the back during winter when it came to summer i could do wheelies in this truck truck boxes suck so the system in this did too

7. 1997 Volkswagon Jetta GLS. i drove this car from colorado springs colorado to ogden utah 657 miles in just 7 hours doing a average speed of 120 MPH it was pretty peppy for a little 2.0L i let my buddy live in my house for free for 4 months so he bought me a nice MTX dual 10" sub system that got stolen 3 months later and since i didn't buy it the insurance wouldn't pay for a new one.

8. 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Sport. i took this four wheeling after i bought it from a dealership and broke the drive shaft bolts on it after a week i will never buy a jeep cherokee again

9. 1988 BMW 325i i inherited this piece of crap from my brother i spent 3 weeks rebuilding the motor on it and ended up driving it off a cliff for fun because i hated it so much.

10. 1989 Ford Ranger. i inherited this truck from my father and spent a week figuring out it had a blown water pump. i replaced the water pump and built a custom moon roof on its camper shell then i cut our the cab and bed separation walls and built a bench seat that went all the way around the back with seat belts and everything. i blew the motor up in this four wheeling and left it in the bountiful mountains in Utah.

11. 1987 Honda Prelude SI. i had to rebuild the bottom end of this cars motor after i bought it so i drove it for e few months and then sold it after i fixed the engine. it was slower than $hit i hate SI Hondas.

12. 1970 Ford 100 Custom this truck had a transmission that was going out i drove it until the tranny when then i bought another one with a crappy motor

13. 1971 ford 100 custom i bought this with a crappy motor so i could use the tranny for my other truck. i parted out the other truck and drove this for a year until i started putting performance parts on it. after i put the performance parts on it. it drove for another 6 months and then i shot a connecting rod out of my oil pan going 80 and the engine seized on me so i hauled it to a salvage yard for recycle money.

14. 1994 Ford Escort GT i went to a buy here pay here dealership with my buddy when i was driving my truck for my buddy to buy this car, after he bought it and then added a intake and exhaust and then the ignition cylinder went out on it. so he let me take over the payments on this car he owed $600 on it so i replaced the ignition for $60 and drove this car for 3 years. i turned this into a drag car it was pretty fast for tiny 1.8L mazda power plant motor that it had in it. i had a huge system in this car

15. 2001 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS. my wife was sick and tired of me having to fix my escort so she decided she wanted her own car. we were looking into imports because they have better track records for lasting 4 cylinder engines than domestic does. so we bought this for 4800 for a dealership right after they got it from a police auction. we still own it. funny thing is when i pulled the rear seat out to run a amp wire kit to the trunk i found like 3 tickets for drug trafficking there. i wonder what that car was used for? no wonder it already had 187,000 miles on it we bought it in 2006

16. 2004 Oldsmobile Alero GLS after i finally got rid of my Escort i was getting tired of sharing a car, so i wanted to get another car, i initially had a 2005 Pontiac Sunfire 5 speed it was fast and hella fun, but ever time i put it into 5th gear it would grind so i took it back under the dealerships warranty and asked them to fix it. they said it wasn't worth it to fix so asked me to choose another car. i saw the V6 4 door Alero and thought what the fuk, why not? as soon as i drove it off the lot when i spun the wheels i was in love. i tossed in a WAI, bought 17" rims, redid the exhaust, de-screened the MAS. redid the interior with black and red accents, put on tribal flame vinyl and tossed in a huge system. 3 12" subs one square and 2 rounds two amps one was a 2 channel 1000 watt RMS Visonik amp and the other is a mofset 2000 watt amp pushing my pyle square and the two Visonik rounds in folded horn boxes. a 1.5 farad cap with digital read out, and 4 gauge wires. the car was fast, the sound system was loud,i did all of this within 3 months of buying the car and i was done doing mods for a while so i could save up for a supercharger. to the day i said to my buddy i was done modding until i could buy everything i needed for a bolt on supercharger kit a 16y/o girl rear ended me in a K5 1500 chevy blazer doing 20 when i was stopped and totalled my car, i was overly upset and grabbed a screw driver and stabbed it into her hood. when her father showed up and asked me why i did that i explained and he just turned and said this is your 3 accident you and no longer allowed to drive. and was totally cool that i he had a screw driver sticking out of his hood.

now we only own the 2001 Eclipse RS. but hopefully soon we will be getting a mini copper for pretty cheap, they sell them pretty dam cheap out here.
heres a link so you can see what they look like.

Status: OFFLINE



1) 1992 Mitsubishi Galant 2.0L SOHC - My first car, a family hand-me-down. my parents stopped driving it when they bought a new '03 Trooper. The Galant sat our barn behind our house for a year or two, until my parents decided that it would be a good car to teach me how to drive stick on. I was 17 when I learned to drive (17, OMFG! yea, it was a tiny town, i didnt need a car). After learning to drive, the Galant became mine and my brother's. He didnt know how to drive, and frankly didnt want a Galant, so I ended up being the sole owner.

Ah, good times in the Galant. I abused that thing, and it just wouldnt die. Lets see, heres what i did to it:

Drove it through a river (water coming OVER the hood). that was fun.
Piled 7 people into/on it
Spun it on accident
went mudding (intentionally or otherwise)
threw down bad roads like it was a rally car
piled the contents of my room into it when i moved to tyler

A chevy silverado finally killed it. I got t-boned at an intersection. what was funny was that I drove my Galant away from the accident, the silverado had to be towed. Even though it wasnt the fastest or best looking car, it still ties the GSX in terms of fun and emotional attachment.

2) 1992 Eagle Talon 2.0L N/T - The replacement for the Galant. I was actually looking for a turbo car, but ran out of time, so i settled for the Talon. It was a good car, but it wasnt fast enough to be satisfying, and wasnt rugged enough to replace the Galant, so it is kinda the odd-one-out on my list. I sold this one to my brother after it got nicked by a city dumptruck.

3) 1990 Eclipse GSX 2.0L Turbo/AWD - Far and away the fastest and most fun (on the road) car I have owned. However, I wouldnt dare drive this car like I drove my Galant. I baby the hell out of my GSX. Its fast as hell, but I dont think it would handle the off-road and rough-road stuff as well as my Galant. One of the best things about driving a 1g AWD: the attention. people love them!

wow, thats a lot of new cars. how come you get a new car pretty much every year? unless your a dealership owner thats a bad investment? well unless of course you plan on buying one of the new US legal skylines. there aren't going to be very many shipped to the US. so they will hold there value for quite some time.

I started with a 91 ford explorer 4 dr, 4.0L v-6, 5 sp manual transmission, drove it until it had over 200k miles sold it
bought a brand new 01 ford f-150 sport 4.0L, v-6, 5 sp manual transmission totaled it a year later on the way TO a party... yeah that sucked...
so the insurance was in my mom and step-dad's name so they took the liberty of putting it all towards an 02 pontiac sunfire 4 dr automatic... only stats I could tell you about that car I hated it... gave it to my sister.. I wasn't gonna make payments on somethin I didn't like..
bought a 94 ford explorer sport 2-dr 4.0L v-6, 5 sp manual transmission,
inherited a 92 eagle talon with a blown transmission, towed it from TN to TX and parked it...
Then my friend blew the motor in his 91 Eclipse GS-T bought it for next to nothing, took the motor out of the talon and put in the eclipse and for the money I have put in it I could bought a new car... and the only mods on it are exhaust, air intake port put in the passenger side headlight, all aluminum radiator and it's lowered 2 in.
