What's your car history?

[cheetahcat79]

First car, 84 Chevy Celebrity

Then...

92 Cavalier Z24

Nicer 92 Cavalier Z24, loved that car, drove it for three years till the trunk rotted out so it basically had no shocks, and then the alternator pulley froze and snapped the belt. Sold it really cheap to an ex boyfriend then took out a loan for

93 Dodge Dakota - great for the first year I had it, before it was stolen, driven to Iowa and abandoned there. After I got it back I had nothing but trouble with it. Still owed $800 on it when I traded in for

2004 Saturn Ion - Just had to let this one go a couple weeks ago when the motor died, still owed $300 on it when I traded it in for

2013 Chevy Sonic LT Hatch, my first brand-new car

 

[Hoody32]

Golf: hit a curb and totaled it. Was avoiding a truck that was making a U-turn
Galant vr4: totaled it being dumb
2000 cavalier: got t-boned crossing US Rt1
Infiniti g20: sold it for 500 after the muffler exploded under full throttle. Was freaking LOUD!
2005 envoy: my winter truck
2014 sonic rs: love it. the sonic is my favorite!. Although I did have the most fun in the vr4

1957 210 4 dr 3 on column 265 (older brother and me got for $400 in 1962) It rusted out in Minn/St Paul in late '70s, had 283 4sp 456 and cross ram intake (drag race it in mid 60s)
1969 Z28 RS Camaro 4sp close ratio 410 gears (ordered Oct 68, got it Feb 69 while stationed in Kansas, blue with white strips) still have it 92,000 miles on her 60mph = 3,000 RPM, brother drove it (raced it against 396 Nova) at 7,000 RPM so he was going 140 in summer '69 when he got out of Navy.
1970 K10 4sp 350 (got orders for Anchorage in Air Force, they gave me $5,000 reup bonus , pulled Z28 to Seattle and drove up Alcan) sold 1973
1967 Opel only used car we (wife and me) have ever owned (paid $200) so we didn't have to drive Z28 1972-74
1973 C30 454 single cab (picked up in SD and 11' camper in Mont., drove up Alcan) sold '76
1976 C30 350 crewcab dually (now have 2 boys out of AF and leaving Ak, young brother and dad drove up Alcan and drove Z28 from Seattle to SD) sold 1990
1978 Subaru wagon 5sp (living in Wisc working for IBM) sold 1982
1979 Datsun 310GX 5sp (for wife) sold 1987
1982 J2000 Pontiac wagon 4sp sold 1985 IBM transfer to Colorado :banana:
1985 GMC 1/2 custom van 305 sold 1990
1987 Honda Prelude 5sp (wife loved this black car) sold 1996
1990 Ford E350 460 with 21 class B camper sold 2007

1997 ZR2 Blazer 5sp (1st one in state , waited 2+ years for chevy to build them) sold 2003
2000 ZR2 Blazer 5sp (wife's and both are black, in fact I pulled 200 0 with '97 to South Dakota) hit head on and State Farm paid good on 2005 ZR2 replacement
2003 TrailBlazer EXT V8 (grandkids are happing, need DVR in back) sold 2012

2012 Suburban Z71 (yep its black) and loaded.....avg 16 MPG
2013 Sonic RS 6sp man......................................avg 33 MPG

So, you can see why we got Sonic gas $$$$ . Z28 best ever was 16 in 70s, now it 10-11 (doesn't like E10 and still wants 91-93 oct with 780 Holley) For grins, list price on Z28 was $3,800, we paid $3,300. Problem was I was only making $200 a month so didn't order many options.

Help with what? What kind of car do you own? ::suspicious::

 

[kmw1191]

I'm only 22 (almost 23) so mine is pretty short, but still long enough for someone my age

1st car: 2002 hyundai accent (totaled by my sister)

2nd car: 1994 Chevy beretta with the 2.2L I4 and a 5 MT (sold it)

3rd car: 1997 Dodge Avenger 2.5 V6 AT (sold it)

4th car: 1994 Subaru Impreza wagon 1.8L flat 4, 5 MT (completely destroyed the transmission, sold it for $200)
Pre-rattle can paint job

Mid-rattle can paint job

5th car: 2001 Oldsmobile Alero 3.5 V6 AT, this was by far the biggest pile of garbage I have ever owned (sold it)

6th car: 2007 Dodge Caliber SXT 1.8L I4, 5 MT, this was a close second biggest pile of garbage (traded it in)
The week I bought it (shortly after I painted the rims dark grey and tinted the tail lights)

7th car: 2012 Chevy Sonic LT sedan 1.4T 6MT

Oh yeah, I have been through quite a few motorcycles as well
1st bike: 1984 Kawasaki LTD 440, awesome fun little thing, couldn't do highways well though with the little 440cc engine (sold it)
I am pretty sure there isn't a single picture of it that I have

2nd bike: 1981 Honda CB750C with 8k original miles on it (still own it)

3rd bike: 2006 Yamaha FZ6, fun sport bike (sold it)

4th bike: 2008 Suzuki GSX-R 600, really fun sport bike
Pictured with the FZ6 (sold it to a good friend of mine)

anyways, not as interesting as some of yours, but interesting enough for a 22 year old I think
Also I will try to track down some pictures of the rest of said vehicles

Gosh, you guys go through so many vehicles! My list is pretty boring even though I started car ownership back in 1977:

1973 Chevy Nova (5.7L v8) - incredibly powerful, and unreliable.
1977 VW Rabbit (auto) - slow, consumed WAY too much oil.
1982 Olds Omega (2.5L 4 cyl) - very reliable, nice yet boring car.
1984 VW Rabbit Convertible (1.6L, 5 speed) - my baby! Fairly reliable, so much fun.
1988 VW Jetta (1.6L, 5 speed) - reliable and somewhat dull.
1997 Ford Exploder (4.0L, auto) - POS. Never, EVER buy a car from your brother.
2004 Nissan Xterra (3.3L, auto) - very reliable, slow. I just gave the car to my niece.
2013 Chevy Sonic LTZ (1.4L, 6 speed) - a lot of fun. Reminds me of my 1984 VW.

From 1990-2004 I lived overseas and only drove rentals when I would come to the USA on business. Nearly all of those cars were truly awful.
