What's your car history?

1992 Dodge Spirit R/T (ex-GF has it)

[Opticon]

She helped my build it (400hp 50trim monster with full suspension) so I let her keep it when I bought my Crossfire. Don't worry, she is treating it right. Pics from last weekend's SDAC22 event:

She outdrove her new BF by 0.5 seconds on the course. LOL

[drive-there]

1980 Ford Fairmont (1988-92)-Between my dad's neglect and my abuse, it had a hard life

1980 Thunderbird (1992-93)-worn out POS when I bought it

1982 Cutlass Supreme diesel(1993-94)-good fuel economy, but I was tired of getting passed by bicycles

1987 Ford LTD(1994-96)-first V8!!! One of my favorites

1981 Datsun 510 hatchback(1996-97)-good pizza delivery car. I put 45,000 miles on it

1998 Toyota Tacoma(1997-99)OK so I've owned a Toyota-whoo hoo!

2000 Nissan Frontier(1999-2003)-started falling apart at 80,000 miles. I swore I'd never buy "Jap crap" again

2003 F-150(2003-05)-nice truck but I'll never buy a vehicle without cruise control again!

1993 Ford Crown Victoria(2005-09)-great car with no payments

2006 Mercury Grand Marquis(2009-present)-It's so reliable I'm a fool for wanting something else. But I'm ready car that's sporty and gets great gas mileage.

And my next car will probably be a Sonic!

1971 Pinto, hand-me-down from my brother who had put a new engine in. It was butt-ugly white so one Christmas my dad says let's paint it. I picked bright yellow and we put fat black racing stripes down the bottom sides and made a stencil of the pony logo to reverse out on each side. Got me through 2 years of high school and college. Dad sold it to somebody. It was seen driving around town for several years at least.

1978 Mustang II in aqua. A rough, noisy ride and the fuel line liked to freeze in single-digit temps. But I was a kid then and wanted a cool car. Kept it 4 years. Traded in.

1984 Ford Tempo. I was moving far away from dad and needed something more reliable. This was practically new, traded in by somebody who wanted a truck instead. Got sideswiped the first day I arrived here. Welcome to NY! Kept it 4 years. Gave it to my brother.

1991 Corolla. First new car, bought because a friend had one and I liked it. Never had a single problem with it. Kept it 8 years, until I decided I needed power windows. Sold it to a co-worker for their kid.

1999 Passat. Swayed by reviews. It certainly did drive quiet, and smooth. Just a few minor repairs. Kept it till this spring, with 42,000 miles, got tired of it, sold it to my brother.

2012 Sonic sedan 1.8 auto, black. Love it, though reading these comment boards makes me paranoid about every little noise I think I hear!!

 

[Swordsmith]

'70 Ford Ranchero
'74 Ford Mustang II
'68 Plymouth Valiant (slant 6!)
'72 Chevy Suburban
'86 Chevy Sprint (3 cylinder)
'59 Chevy Blue Bird
'76 Oldsmobile Omega
'73 Ford Mustang II
'74 Ford Econoline E300
'83 Ford Ranger
'95 Ford F150 (V6)
'86 Ford Escort
'04 Ford F150 Heritage (V6) - still own
'12 Chevy Sonic (1.4T) - still own

Of those only the Sprint, the two F150s and the Sonic were purchased new... and it's cheating for me to include the Sprint, which was technically owned by a friend, but we shared it and the Blue Bird... and I loved it so I'm claiming it here.

(also, I may be a little off on some of those model years)

Got my Lisence and I started driving in 2003 with a hand me down 1987 Ford Taurus Station Wagon with a Two-Tone Blue Paint Scheme. That thing went thru hell between me and my brother. Too many replaced parts to list, but just to put it into perspective... Me and My Brother Both ended up Snapping the Front Driveshaft in half and had to replace it. He did it, then gave me the car a year after it happened, then i turned around and did it lol. Yep, we abused this car!

My Second car after selling the beat down Wagon for alot more than i expected to get from it, was a 2000 Pontiac Sunfire Sedan. Car Lasted me 8 Years! Built the engine up and did all kinds of stuff with this car. was a good car to me. Until the Engine started to give once it hit 100,000 miles. Traded it in for my Now 2012 Sonic....

My Third Vehicle was a 2006 Dodge Dakota 3.7L V6 I bought amist having the Sunfire. Was nice to have a truck, but that thing ate gas like no tomorrow! got to be too much to have it anymore so when i traded in the Sunfire i also traded in the Dakota for the 2012 Sonic....

My Fourth Vehicle and First NEW car.... My Current and will be my car until it dies... My 2012 Chevrolet Sonic LT Sedan 1.8L 6spd Automatic. Love my sonic. Has been a great investment and wouldnt have changed my decision for anything else. Has done me good thus far....
