93 Honda Del Sol Si.... what a wonderful car... sadly, it keeps going into the body shop... however everytime it does, it comes out that much closer to have an fresh laywer of paint on the entire car... and boy, it sips gas through a straw... record high of 46 mpg.... man, I love this car...

Young and stupid: 1st car owned was a red 1982 Mazda RX7 Targa. I got it on Wednesday and totalled it on Friday of the same week. After that I got back on the "horse' and bought another red 1982 RX7 and owned that one for over a year w/o incident. This was back in 1987 and I haven't had an accident since. Either I learned something or I'm lucky or both

'86 Ford Taurus, a hand me down from my father to my older brother to me. We sure did beat the crap out of that car. By the time I passed it down to my little brother, it only had about 3 months left.

1959 Fiat 600D. 17 HP, 4 cyl. It had suicide doors that you never wanted to open at speed. I used to pull the manifold loose from the head just to enjoy the noise; what an idiot. I drove it 70K miles and sold it for $200 (Photo shown is a model, but the real thing looked just about as crappy!).

It is, but what happened to working hard to earn money to buy your own car.

The Pinto was a "gift" from my Grandmother.

1981 Toyota Celica Supra (I got it in 1987). I can't believe I didn't die in that car. My kid will be getting a 10 year old Volvo (non-turbo)!
