Ben. Posted January 29, 2008 Posted January 29, 2008 Pictures of pictures..Didn't scan them to a disk or anything.. Sole reminder of my first car. .. At least what was left of it. Lol, domestic surprise anyone? List of vehicles I've owned in order -- 1994 Ford Mustang/1993 Honda Civic CX/2000 Honda Civic CX/2000 Harley Davidson F150/2002 Pontiac Trans Am WS6/1994 Acura Integra LS/2000 Harley Davidson F150 (nonsupercharged this time :()
Ben. Posted January 30, 2008 Author Posted January 30, 2008 Nice work. Nothing like starting with something reliable. lol.
Joe W Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Yeah I even wrecked mine into a deer, just that high quality honda metal, lol.
Ben. Posted January 30, 2008 Author Posted January 30, 2008 Yea..if you'll note the first picture ..that was the side of that f150 that hit the tree that I spun her 80 year old ass into. I plowed the passenger side of her truck when she stopped int he middle of the road while it was raining. I'm completely convinced that had I been in one of my Honda's I'd have probably been hurt. I slid into her going about 40 mph from damn near point blank range..

Joe W Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Yeah lucky he was jumping away and up so I hit his legs though his rack dented my door pretty bad.
sup Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 First car - 1993 K5 Chevrolet Blazer. Sold it to some black guy a couple towns over for $5000. I still kinda wish I had it, but things just kept breaking and I didn't want to deal with it anymore.
VR17 Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 had a 89 s10 blazer somewhere posted on hf.. man it was a beast, i had trouble beating those hemi powered rams.. back then.
Kegger Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 I had a '94 Accord that I sold to a buddy after I went to basic. And then it promptly blew up lol. Easiest thousand buck ever made.
Sapphyre Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 my first car was originally my dads- a '97 ford escort that he'd never taken care of & he'd told me to ignore the check engine light on it. 2 days after I got it, it died with a squeal, shake and a thud. Apparently it'd dropped a valve into the engine or something like that and it was totalled. he'd wanted to install a new engine in it, but i convinced him to take the offer he'd had of $600 for the chassis and buy me something reliable instead. So I ended up with a '99 VW Jetta that I sold in summer 2006. I miss that car so much.
Xeryon Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 I wish I had pics :sad: 1st 90 Cavalier - 1 year - from $4500 to $600 in 12 months. I put 45k on it and two accidents. 2nd 91 Regal - 1 year - put over 50k on it in 12 months. Sold it to my sister when she turned 16. 3rd 86 Monte Carlo - 1 year - Self built SBC 350 with 4 bolt main, bored .30. 10.5:1 pistons, wiend stealth intake, edlebrock 4bbl 750, msd coil and ignition, a wicked cam that loped like a mutha at idle. Thing was wicked fast for a beater. City towed it because of illegal parking and I couldn't pay the towing and storage fines/fees. Had to sign it over to the city. 4th 82 Camero Berlinetta - 6 months - a 4 cyl auto camero - bleh - It died and sold it for scrap 5th 92 Grand Am - 1 year - I lived 2 blocks from work. Put 2k on it in a year. Also put a new trans, rebuilt head and exhaust mani. Biggest POS EVAR! Traded in for the next car 6th 00 Civic EX - 1 year - brand spankin new. $4500 in damage from hit and run two weeks later. Two weeks after that another $4000 hit and run. Traded for the accord. 7th 94 Cherokee 4x4 - 6 years - best vehicle ever owned - 105 on it in 6yrs and only ever needed two water pumps and 4 u-joints - sold cause I needed a bigger truck 8th 98 Accord EX - 6 years - 130k - great car with $0 spent in repairs - traded for something more fun, like a del sol 9th 93 Probe GT - 1 year - Fun car for the money. Would still have it if I had realized previous owner had filled the coolant with straight water. Block froze in the winter and split most of the cooling system open. Sold for scrap. 10th 99 Prelude - 1 year - AWESOME CAR. Favoritest car of all time. Sold to buy a bigger house - which I now hate btw 11th 86 C10 - 3 months - work truck beater - bought for $700, drove it 10k and sold for $800 12th 95 Civic - 1 year - CURRENT - bought for 1100 from a junk yard 13th 95 RAM 2500 - 9 months - CURRENT - bought for $800, books at $2700 14th 93 Del Sol - 6 months - CURRENT - Wifes fun car. Sry for the long post. Now that I reflect on it it looks like I need to buy a 96 and a 97 to complete my tour of the 90's auto history. This is over a driving history of exactly 13 years. I am averaging just under 1yr per car it seems.
Kegger Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Yeah he wasn't happy about it, but he bought it "as is." "Is" being a gargantuan POS.
tallhamer88 Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 1993 ford mustang 2.3 turbo sold it for the sol.
compuvision02 Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 2002 Ford Focus ZTS sedan, my sister drives it.
BuddySol Posted January 30, 2008 Posted January 30, 2008 Started off with an 85 Accord. LOL...what a great little car. In fact I think the current Civic is larger than it...that car made it 300k miles before keeling over and dying. Ended up with my Sol...which, as most should know, ended up a victim of the 60 - mysterious piece of crap that managed to set off my airbags and puncture the gas tank.
