what did u drive before the FIT???

Ok guys put up the pics and some info on what u drove before the FIT.


Here is my first 98 Cobra stock


Than i wanted something more on the tuner side so i got this 03 EVO VIII





I miss the evo so much. Thinking about moding the fit but keep going back and forth on it. Mod fit or save for a new car. Well lets see those cars before the FIT

97 mercury sable. NASTY was the car my parents thought i'd like as a senior in highschool

88' isuzu pup. I still miss this truck had 280k miles

97' nissan hardbody. sold that for the next vehicle

94' chevy silverado. extended cab. I bagged and dropped the shit out of that one. I miss it. R.I.P. Damn 18 wheelers

96' Toyota camry. Long story but when i was done i had obliterated a telophone post and ended up on the roof.

96' toyota pickup. But unfortunatly the engine died in short order. So i finally bit the bullet and bought the fit. First new car.

Thanks, they are some sweet rides. But strangely I enjoy the Fit more than the 535I and thats a farkin' torque monster.

2000 Dodge Dakota Quad cab 4.7L V8. Still my all time favorite vehicle. But since the steering rack needed replacement and I had almost 220,000 miles it was time to let it go. The only thing I don't miss is the 18 MPG avarage.

'98 Honda Civic LX with 118K on it for $3900.
My uncle has it now and is fixing it up for my cousin. It still runs like a top but has a few flaws.

Now I'm driving the '07 Fit Sport and I couldn't be happier.

Wish it was a little faster though! haha

09 corolla wrecked by wife, she walked away with no injuries, replaced by 09 fit; we wanted something different this time.
Miss the corolla for its comfort and quietness but fit is more fun to drive.

My first car ever was a Vauxhall VX2300 that I got from my dad. I could not find any picture of mine, but it looked like this:



It was red and had as poor paint as the one on the image above
After I had it a few years (to the beginning of the '90-ties) we had to scrap it because of rust all over...
Had a lot of trouble with the engine too.


Then I did not have any car for a year or two, but then I got the opportunity to buy a BMW 733i M really cheap. It was a special car since it was the first with the new body (1993) 7-series with a 3,3L engine. There was only produced about a few thousand cars with this engine and it later came with 3,5 engine and was called 735. Mine had a rebuilt transmission from factory to sport and had a really short-throw stick. The car was dark navy blue with no crome, just black mat list around windows. I just loved the car but it was too expensive to own since I still was in school. Had it for only a year, and I think it was in '93 or '94.
I dont have any picture of that either but it looked like this one, only in dark navy blue:




Then I did not own a car before 2007 when I bought my '07 Honda Jazz CVT in Black Amethyst Pearl. This is even better than the powerfull BMW and a thousand time more fun
