WARNING! Cheap teenage cars ahead!
96 stratus! Killed it within 15k miles. Who would have figured topping out in reverse, slamming it in drive, and burning that sweet rubber would have been bad? Oddly enough, it died from end connecting rod failure, with 136k on the clock.
92 NX2000. Sold it after 3 months because insurance was $170/mo for liability. Sweet car though, had 5% tint around and ran strong.
89 CRX Si. Got it for free from some guy off another forum. Clutch slipped so bad, sometimes I couldn't get going from a light for minutes. One I got going, I could generally stay in motion, but I was WOT everywhere I went. Never insured it or registered it. Took a corner one day and the tire blew, so I left it there and walked home.
01 Jetta 2.slow. Still have this, because it's my faithful beater. Bought this one after I moved out. 32 city/36 highway, after 86k miles. Has a few upgrades, OEM BBS's, interior bits, suspension, and I still love it.
