I learned to drive on Dad's '67 Chevelle Malibu.

My first car was a '70 Buick Skylark (owned from '74 to '79).

Then:

'79 Dodge Omni 024 hatchback ('79 to '84)
'84 Dodge Shelby Charger ('84 to '92)
'92 Dodge Shadow ES ('92 to '96)-see a trend here??
'96 Plymouth Neon Sport Coupe ('96 to '02)
'02 Dodge Neon SXT ('02 to '09
'09 Honda Fit Sport ('09 to present).

4th and 5th vehicles
Not really mine, either of them, but i drove them more than my dad did... and did more work to them. 1982 Honda Accord hatch and 2000 f150
Hatch had the 1.8L 4spd auto. Rocking little car for the abuse it saw. sold to a military guy on ft. lewis, still see it driving around every now and then.
The ford was the other beater truck we had. 4.2L v6 5spd wasn't too bad for hauling stuff around, sold to dealer and the engine spat out both front and rear seals and tossed a piston.

7th car:
1991 Dodge Shadow, 2.5L i4 turbo1. Not the shelby model, so don't get confused. I didn't actually drive this car at all, was given the car by a friend that needed it gone. Engine popped a hg, spewing oil from between the head and block. Engine is in garage, car was crushed.

8th car
1985 Toyota Celica Supra, 2.8L i6, 4spd auto. I bought this car, complete but not running, to replace parts on my dad's 85 supra. Unfortunately it turned out this car was better than his, so we made 1 good supra and scrapped his old one. It's both his and my car, i paid for it, he put it in his name...
his on the right, mine on the left

81 Mustang Gia - first car purchased off mom for $2500

66 VW Baja - I swear I removed the engine like 20 times in the 1 year I owned it.

84 VW Sirocco - absolutely the best car I had ever owned. Major engine problems at around 180k and couldn't afford to get it back together.

91 Golf GL - Started as a nice little automatic. Then Fast and the furious came out in the theaters. Modded the piss out of it. removed auto and dropped in a 5 speed from a GLI. Engine complete rebuild with pistons cams springs header complete exhast. Dropped with swaybars and braces. All that and still not as much fun as the Sirocco.

95 Jetta - Minor mods dropped with rims.

01 Jetta WGN - Stock (Wifes Car)

06 Passat

Trading in the Jetta WGN for 09 fit MT w/navi

07 Jeep Commander Limited: I have to admit that I miss it. Big change going to the Fit. I hated the gas mileage and that's why I traded it in .
