How did I miss this thread???



It's only 15 so far... but I'm young yet... :rolleyes:

78 Camaro - First car, 305 auto, fake Z28, bought at a classic car auction when I was 15. Gorgeous paint and clean interior, but a rustbucket underneath. Almost totally undriveable in the real world - throwing belts, dying at intersections, etc. Suck-o, as cars go.

89 Mustang - LX 5.0 auto, ex-Budget rent-a-car. From Oklahoma. Arguably the best car I've ever owned, at least as far as reliablility. Tons of fun once I put 3.55 gears in it. I even turned a 14.9 with the stock 2.73's.

81 RX7 - Bought for $600 with the profit I turned from scalping Pink Floyd tickets in '94. Long-time project car that I really didn't sink any money into - just kept stripping it of parts and drove it till it finally quit running. Finally traded it to a guy at work for a case of beer.

79 MGB roadster - Had it for a summer. Shitty brakes. Shift knob came off in my hand on a regular basis. Teeth busted off the flywheel, so I sometimes had to roll it downhill to start it. Backfired like a 12-gauge Remington. However, it had dual Webers and a long-tube header, and was one of the best sounding cars I've ever had. I taught myself how to heel-toe shift in this one.

86 RX7 GXE - Bought off a used car lot for nothing. Crappy transmission. Shitty electricals. Busted A/C. But, man, that car handled better than anything I had ever owned to date.

85 RX7 S - One owner. 140K miles. Steel wheels. Perfect shape. I mean P-E-R-F-E-C-T shape. No door pecks. No squeaks or rattles. Shiny paint (Amana Tan). Bone stock down to the AM/FM radio (no tape deck, even). Shoulda kept it, but I actually sold it for a nice profit after I drove it for a year. Oh well.

84 RX7 GSL-SE - Urban camo (tan/rust/primer). Effed up steering (until I fixed it). Bent axle. Smoked like a chainsaw. Rusted-out header (very, very, very, very loud). Bald-ass tires. That car was possibly the most fun-to-drive piece of shit I've ever owned. I'd still love to find one in really nice shape and relatively low miles (for a reasonable price, that is).

95 Camaro Z28 - My one and only new car. Bought it for a hair over $20K, including Bose, leather, and all power options (but no T-tops). The second most reliable car I've ever owned. An absolute beast of a motor that made blool-curdling sounds after I installed SLP headers and cat-back exhaust (you could drop golf balls straight through it). Damn near a 160-mph car that got 27mpg on the highway (even after I put 3.73 gears in it). 6-speed with a Hurst shifter (chrome stick and white ball, no less) that had rifle-bolt precision. And decent handling to boot. Man, I want another one. Dammit.

85 Suburban 4x4 - Well, after I wrecked the Z28, I drove this for a while. 9 mpg on a good day. Giant tires. Kickin' stereo. Busted A/C, but a friggin fun ride.

84 BMW 745i - My dad bought it new(ish) in late '84. Grey market turbo that redefined "turbo lag." However, it'll beat almost anything in a 40-punch race (the slushbox will kick down to low gear when you stomp it at 40). I've had it to about 150 flat-out. Glass-smooth, but it's laid up at the moment, and it may or may not see the light of day again.

79 Accord - FOR SALE! Project car. Still. Canadian 2-valve head with a hot cam. Dual Webers. Long-tube header. Adjustable Konis all-around. Sure was fun when I drove it home!

85 RX7 S - Another tan one. This one's sitting on a trailer at my folks' house with a super-built fuelie 5.0 V8 sitting under the hood. One of these days...

88 Lincoln LSC - The V8 in the aforementioned RX7? Got it here. Bought this car off a lot in Fort Worth on my lunch hour one day. Drove it home. Kinda wish I had a nice LSC to play with - I hear there's a guy in Atlanta the goes through them and makes them backroad BMW killers...

98 Camry - Paid $800 for this gem. My buddy was going to trade it in on a Lexus, but some crackhead broke into it and effed up the dash trying to remove the Alpine radio. So, I got it for a steal, put the factory radio back in it, and reassembled the dash from the pieces I picked off the floor and with liberal use of JB Weld. Hell, it looked pretty good after I got done with it. The slushbox went south at 180K miles, however, so I hawked it to an enterprising young man who must've had a spare tranny in his garage. Got $2300 for it as it stood... seriously.

94 Miata - Most fun I've had in any car I've ever owned. Period. Nuff said.

Asked myself the same question, Ricardo! Could've sworn I'd listed 'em off before...

Brief list for me so far.

'89 Hyundai Excel - craptacular, but great for high school & college
'96 Chevy Cavalier Z24 - loaded, fairly fun, great except for the water pump
'63 Ford Falcon Futura Convertible - cute, fun, expensive to repair
'01 Chevy Cavalier Z24 - unloaded, endless steering issues
'91 Chevy Cavalier wagon - base model with boost when the fuel pump works
'92 Mazda Miata - previously owned by sammm & greaseslapper, now by farphle, did the timing belt twice in a weekend. Tore in a 3rd time for a weepy water pump the same weekend.
'90 Mazda Miata - zippy, striped, semi-LE, high miles...and leaking coolant still

I'm sensing a theme. Maybe I should just get a car with an air-cooled engine. Then I won't have to worry so much about fluid leaks. :rolleyes:

My list isn't as full as some on here, at my age of 25. Plus I don't like to constantly buy and sell cars, preferring instead to hold on to them. I intend to keep my current Miata for as long as I can (20 years, I hope).

2nd gen Honda Accord
1991 Honda Civic DX Sedan
1992 Nissan 240SX
2006 Mazda Miata
2007 Honda Fit

my wife owned:
1994 Acura Integra

Here’s my list. Maybe more than some of you because I’ve been at it longer.

1959 Austin Healey 100-6 (same as Healey 3000 but with 200cc less motor) High school car, bought with my own money.

1966 MG 1100 (think original Mini without much motor). College car in Atlanta, no heater, wonderful gas mileage when gas was 35 cents a gallon.

1968 Plymouth Fury III 4 door sedan 318 V8 auto. College car, carry lots of stuff.

1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint 6 OHC 4 speed. GTO wannabe.

1969 Pontiac Firebird 350 2bbl auto. Wish I hadn’t sold it.

1976 Plymouth Aspen station wagon slant 6 auto. Quarter mile time of 23.5 seconds at 58 mph. Seemed like a good idea at the time for new babies.

1965 Chevrolet Corvair Corsa (with Crown kit 327 V8 in the back seat). Street legal and my first dedicated autocrosser. 2650# and 350/327 4 speed

1964 Corvair van (with shag carpet interior and bed/stove/refrig). Drove from FL to Watkins Glen for the 1974 USGP. 140hp motor with 4bbl and 4 speed transplant.

1971 Datsun 1200 autocrosser and street legal. Not much motor but great handling in street prepared trim.

1976 Chevrolet Nova 6 cyl auto. Free when parents moved back to India so I took it.
