1979 Volkswagen Type 2 - Baywindow Bus (Current - Rebuilding)
1983 Suzuki 650 (Recently sold)
1991 Mazda Miata (Current)
78 Toyota Corrola Station Wagon- I taught myself how to drive stick with it.
92 Miata - Bought my senior year of HS with 60K miles on it. Put 60K on it within 3 Years. Mainly my first semester at UTA I drove back to Austin almost every weekend. Got totaled by a Prelude driver with no insurance.
91 Miata - Replaced the other miata after looking for 4 months for the perfect miata. Turboed it and was running almost perfectly when hit by the taxi
Now in search of another miata. I also test drove a WRX and GTI VR6 over the weekend. The dealer wanted 15K for em both. The WRX was ragged and a POS (the horn didn't even work), the GTI had alot of torque and some nice leather seats. I still want a miata though.

1964 Impala SS - Built a new motor for it over a spring break my junior year in HS. Built the rear end over a week the next summer. 330hp 327ci, 4.11 posi rear, powerglide. The damn thing probably weighed 10,000lbs. Some spectator reports put its length at over 50ft.
1993 Toyota Paseo - Bought to drive to college. Found out it was light and would turn well with Hoosiers on it. I have video of it from the 2000 Solo II Nationals where its on 2 wheels on 2 consecutive runs. Never did roll it, but came close many times. Even blew a tire mid turn at an autox.
1995 Yamaha YZF600R - Built motor, 50 shot, tons of other mods. I never got it to the track once it was all together, but guys with similar setups ran 10.90s. It was fast. Did an indicated 165mph on it once. I finally decided it was too dangerous to ride around DFW and am in the process of selling it.
1994 Toyota Celica - Ex ES/HS national champ car. Loaded up the g/f and 2 other friends and left on a friday night. Drove 22 hours to portland, picked up the car, ate, drove 24 hours back. Still made it to class on monday. I still have this car. I autoxed it in stock for a year, then STS for 2 years. Now its being turboed for general street fun and an occasional run in SM. This car HANDLES!
1994 Miata - I've only had it for about 4 months. Love it. Can't wait to turbo it.
mine's gonna be short.
first car '89 chevy cavalier- three speed automatic four cyl. wow. paid 600 dollars for it. if the brakes failed, turn on the air conditioner, it stopped the car as well. let my g/f borrow it and it got broadsided.
'92 chevy cavalier. paid less for this one. 5 spd. 4 cyl. had been previously rolled, so the body was comprised of about 50% bondo. still managed to drive the heck out of it though. got rid of it for something that didn't look like crap
'96 mazda miata. was young and stupid and rolled it two and a half times at about 105 mph. after healing, saved about 6 months for a down payment on my next one.
'99 mazda miata. still got this one, best car i've ever had. i've put about 85,000 miles on it in the last 3 years.
somewhere along the way i've borrowed an 89 olds cutlass cierra, about half a dozen chevy pickups and a 1944 jeep willyz. (still kick myself for not dodging the tree that jumped out in front of that one)
Ya'll just don't have enough to do, and I guess I don't either

I Bought my 96 miata, i always liked them when i was younger, drove one at rev it up 2 yrs ago, and got involved with the spec cars, and i knew i had to have one. im in the process of turboing it but alot of obsticals to overcome.

15 Miatas??? FIFTEEN MIATAS????? Sir, I believe you have a sickness. The first step to getting better is to give away all of your Miatas. I would be happy to take Sunny off your hands. :DQuote:
