I Drive: 2003 Mustang 3.8l 5spd

My Project: Mustang, Bandit
1990 Ford Escort GT(RIP), was a fun little car until some uninsured arab jackass lost control of his car on the ice and went out of control in front of it one morning as my dad was driving it to work. Freakin ass took my car that I payed for without asking, ends up getting totaled. Went from that to a 90 Mitsubishi Galant (POS still have it), bought my bike rode it for two weeks, the first day I drive the Mits after buying the bike it blows out a CV joint (pretty much a yearly occurance). Not wanting to put any more money into the Mitsubishi I went out and bought my Mustang.

1981 Honda Civic 1.3 with a paper thin clutch, and no rear window. God, I loved that car...I replaced it with a 1971 Volkswagen Squareback with an exhaust leak that filled the passenger compartment with exhaust fumes, I nicknamed it the German Gas Chamber. God, I loved that car...

edit: Forgot the Honda had a cracked exhaust manifold, so it sounded like a lawn mower....

One of the funnest cars I have ever owned. I learned so much about car maintenance/repair with that thing. It was truly a car where you drove it during the week and fixed whatever broke on it on the weekends.

most cars in the 80's had speedos that went to less than a hundy. they were trying to get people to stop speeding and thought this would help. it didnt though, people still went fast, they just didnt know HOW fast :D

I Drive: Depends on the day...

My Project: '47 Crosley roundside pickup
First set of wheels was a '40 Chev pickup. Age 14. Drove it to school. Then I picked up a '48 CJ-2a Jeep. I redid the drivetrain, and re-arced the springs....so far that I couldn't get a front driveshaft to fit.... bummer. Looked cool tho!

Traded it for another motorcycle.

After that...had a '72 Vega. Was gonna put a smallblock in it. But I wrecked it instead. That was somewhere around 40 vehicles ago......

73 dodge charger. $750

Put a set of 15x8 torque thrust Ds on it with 255/275 60 15 BFGs on em (black walls out)

Slid a rebuilt 440 out of a 78 manaco cop car in it, with a 727 behind it.

Was green on green, but I recolored the interior and the top black.

Put a stereo and a floor shifter in it...

(sigh)

I still miss that car.

Sold it before I bought my fastback.

My Project: 2006 Scion xA
i shared a 1992 Plymouth Voyager with my dad and then a 87 Nissan Stanza. The first car that was truly ;mine' was a 1975 Chevy Nova.... What a GIGANTIC piece of shite. Though it was mine and I loved it until mr. telephone pole decided to jump in front of us while doing a brake stand and demolished my car to metal toothpicks.
