I drove this from age 16-17, was my dad's. He still has it and drives it every day.


My first car (SUV) I bought when I was 17. Spent everything I had ever saved on it. 4.7L V8, 5 Speed Auto with OD, 10 Disc changer in back with one in the dash, Infinity Gold Stereo, Borla Exhaust. Was in the family from 13k miles. Only pictures of it are from after I bought it, between 70k and 110k miles. Until it's untimely demise, or I would still have it.


As far as it ever went offroad. You could have eaten off the bottom of this thing, even at 110k miles.

Then totalled it on some lovely black ice, into a telephone pole at 35 MPH.


Decided to go in a whole new direction, and pick up a project to work on until I found a suitable DD. That's where my first BMW came into the picture. I had big plans for this one... but it barely even saw the street.


Bought the biggest nightmare of my life with the insurance money from the Jeep, a 1998 A4 1.8T Tip. This thing broke once a week, like clockwork. It was damn clean, though.



Then one night, I let my sister borrow the my A4 to go to a friends house. Wound up like this (totalled). She is a decent driver too, so I wasn't worried about her driving it. She hit a patch of ice, went into a ravine, and simultaneously hit a telephone pole (which the top snapped off of, fell, and smashed the trunk in)


Paid off some bills with the insurance money from the A4, and bought my current whip.



And that's the story of my downward spiral. Both with the quality of the cars and financially.

[Dubmd]

stay away from telephone polls lol

[Zack01GC]

It's hard to do when there was black ice (my case) which looks just like a wet road, like after a rain. However, in my sister's case, when it is a huge frozen white patch of runoff 2" think from snow melting earlier in the day, then something could have been done.

I know you guys in TX will probably never experience black ice, but it's the scariest fucking thing I've ever experienced.

[Dubmd]

yea i dont blame ya.
ive never driven in snow.
lol ive only seen snow where i live like once.

[hechtspeed]

First car was this bug. Bought it for $500, passed smog even. Did some body work, lowered the front, clean up the engine. Lived in Brasil for 2 years, came back and dad had basically restored it. Had for 1 year after getting home, sold it to get married.
1972 Standard Bug


No car for like 2 years, just drove the in-laws Camry while in College. Then, had to get a car, so picked up this Civic. It was stock, I did eibach sportline, kybagx, intake, shifter, fpr (xmas present from dad, ha ha) and then wheels. Traded it for the Mustang below.
1995 Civic EX

My civic and my bro's Focus before he cleaned up the previous owners rice



1994 Mustang GT
Got this in a trade with my dad's buddy, straight across for my civic. That was stupid. The a/c didn't work and started burning oil about 6-12 months later. Owned it for 2 years, sold for $3600. Apparently its still tickin'! It ahd springs, exhaust, intake, my dad's old home made fiberglass ramair and the 18x9 cobras, then stockies. Even with the problems, I should have fixed things (except a/c, too much $). I could have done a nice rebuild, then some real suspension and it would have been cool. The front offset is half way decent. Needed lower for sure...The rear's need to be like 11" wide though. THey are sunk in with those 18x9's. The 245's are a decent size too on there. Oh well. Live and learn.


Photochop


Current POC
The Mustang was too heavy and no a/c, so I wanted to go civic again cuz of budget. Bought this for $5500 with 95k miles. Good deal until I inspected it more and saw it was hit bad and had 2" stack of washers to space out the upper rear control arm. Had to buy these wheels because I bent a wheel and blew 2 tires running over some road debris 2 winters ago. Hopefully I can ditch this once the Minivan is paid off in March '10. I'm thinking WRX...

I learned my lesson that day, never push it with other people in the car (especially thoes you care about, such as best friends), and you never know what could happen, so be cautious.

This is the truth. My friend rolled his car off a huge drop with a few of our best friends in it while we were on a spirited drive through canyons by my house. It was a bad case of him going too fast with too little experience and we're lucky everyone walked out. Risking your own life is one thing but I can't imagine how he would have felt had something had happened to one of our friends because of his mistake.
