- 1990 Pontiac Tempest. Still have it, its pretty much rust, seats, an engine and rims.

1985 Nissan Pulsar NX 1.6L - written off by a "visible minority" who never should have been given a license in the first place.

1986 Chev Celebrity sedan... first car I ever got near 800/KM on one tank...

1987 Ford Bronco II 4x4 - first truck I ever really loved driving, I still miss it. :(

1986 Ford Tempo - in-between vehicles car, lasted all of 6 months

1990 Chev Celeb Eurosport Wagon - the most balls I've ever seen out of a car of that era - that V6 was insane and the car topped 200 KPH.

1987 Ford Ranger - my "project truck" with the 302 V8 and A4OD transmission. I've blown 6Gs on it, and it's sitting collecting dust and rust right now and has been for a year and a half, if not more. If there ever was a definition of "money pit", this is it.

Daily driver 2: 2006 Subaru Legacy GT

COBB Stage 1+ package - AccessPort tuner, COBB intake and airbox. Stage 2 coming shortly - COBB 3" AT stainless DP and race cat, custom 3" Magnaflow-based exhaust and Stage 2 COBB tune.

First there was an '85 K-car in the summer of '93 when I got my license (3 months of "will it start?" until I got out from under it

The came an '86 Ford Taurus 4cyl. reasonably reliable but ended up dumping that in '96 after the heater core started letting vapours into the car :blink:

In '96 I then got an '88 Chevy Celebrity (hand me down from my father) and that lasted three years, until the gas tank started leaking and three replacement tanks later the problem remained :angry:

In August '99 I purchased a '95 Olds Ciera and lost it four months later in an accident that also saw me mangle my right leg thanks to a fool failing to secure his load on his truck properly :censored2:

Replaced that with another Olds Ciera in February '00 after I was cleared to drive again and had it until the unexpected repairs late last year/early this year reached $2,000 in the space of four months :wtf:

and that brings us to my little red rollerskate, purchased April 8 of this year :D
