[Rags2Bitches]

I feel you on wishing you had all of them back...I'm the exact same way! And I wish you still had the S10 just cause IMO Silent Steve doesn't take very good care of it.....

[crex149]

Let's see, in order of ownership...
79 Jeep Cherokee (farm/winter beater)
Everything else has been a Toyota:
92 Paseo (stereo systems)
89 Ex-cab pickup (drug frame)
99 Taco (lowered, system, NOS)
98 4 Runner (system, grocery getter, hauler, totalled)
94 Paseo (fuel economy)
05 xB (you all have seen it)
06 tC (replaced 4Runner that was totalled by drunk driver)

What sucks is I have 0 pics of these vehicle. Couple of car show plaques of the two trucks, but that's about it. Wish I still had both trucks, my brother has the 94 Paseo now.

I've had a couple of other vehicles for work over the years too...
00 Cavalier
00 Ranger std cab
00 Safari Van
02 Safari Van

[Rags2Bitches]

Here's my list:

1. 1975 VW Bus - convinced my Dad to buy it as a project van. Got the engine rebuilt, took off a wheel and said f*** it....had so much rust we would've had to do some MAJOR work for it to be safe to drive - sold on ebay for more than I bought it for, and minus the motor. Sold it separately.

2. 1997 Ford Taurus Wagon - was to be mine to inherit from my parents when I got my license, totalled it THE DAY I got my license rear-ending a senior citizen bus

3. 1995 Chrysler New Yorker - gave it a nice system and 2 layers of 5% tint - totalled it once, my Pappy took it up to Indiana and had the frame straightened and gave it a new paint job, metallic black (BIG BIG flakes), sold it because of an overheating problem - the new owners parked it after a month because they said the frame bowed back out and they were driving down the road with a "teeter totter" effect

4. 1997 Mitsubishi Montero Sport - first vehicle I showed. Gave it 4 15" Kicker CompVRs, took 2 out after a month because I went through 2 alternators. Also had blue tubing on engine, steel-braided radiator hose, blackouts on headlights, 22s, blue underbody kit, shaved emblems, and a magnaflow muffler - sold because it was burning oil and those motors weren't known to last past 150,000 miles without a drivetrain rebuild....I went to 180,000 dogging it the whole way.
http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m173/wrecklesslyinsane/montero.jpg



5. 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse - bought it as a beater/daily to get my Montero off the road before I messed it up even worse - my first stick shift - bought it then taught myself how to drive it - had coilovers, CAI, 5" tip rice can, sway bars, 2 mismatched 12s, no CD player, 3/4 speakers were blown - stopped running so I parked it, sold it to a friend for my 2 15" CVRs back plus $400 cash - he gave it a new battery, spark plugs, wires, changed fluids and it ran like a dream - technically, the title is still in my name cause we never got it transfered, and it was stolen off his property, so I throw it up for collateral here and there lol


6. 1996 Dodge Ram Indy Pace Car Edition - freshly rebuilt motor and tranny - 22s, fully fiberglassed interior - built 360 with open headers, LITERALLY as loud as a nascar. Ran 102 octane and royal purple at all times. Traded Montero for it for 2 weeks, then traded back because in that 2 weeks I got a 28 over speeding ticket in the Dodge and he got a sound violation in my Montero, so we decided it wasn't a good idea.
http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m173/wrecklesslyinsane/dodge.jpg

Then traded in my Montero for my xB at Champion Preferred in Nicholasville. They burnt it to the ground for insurance money, 22s and all. Poor truck. I went by and paintballed there entire front line of cars the next weekend drunkenly out of spite.


I really wish I had kept either the Montero or Ram, and the Eclipse. I really want a cool looking tow pig, and the Eclipse was fun as shit to drive, and it was one of the two dumbest decisions of my life to get rid of it when all it needed was about $100 in all for a tune up. I had put BRAND new pads, rotors, and calipers on it a week before I parked it. I kick myself in the ass everyday over that one....

[dirtyred]

i'm feelin like a slacker with only 4 rides.

[Rags2Bitches]

i'm feelin like a slacker with only 4 rides.

and I'm only 21! lol

I think I just have that need for change too much. I'm sure if I wasn't legally binded to my xB for the next 5 years I would've sold it already by now. So instead, I'm juct multiplying the quantity of vehicles. :aha:

[StreetSweeper]

Well ive only had 3 lol...My first car was a 92 Celica GT auto with the 2.2l had a cold air intake, Cat back exhaust with a flowmaster muffler.gauge pod with faze gauges.Alpine deck 2 Audiobahn Flame Q's witha 1000watt mono amp... pretty much a normal car.. Dumped abot 7k into the car over the year i had it and after 2 motors later I traded it in cause the motors never liked me.

Then I had a 98 Saturn Sc2 manual. Short ram intake, cat back exhaust with a ebay can..omg it was so F'in loud..Aerospeed strut bar Tenzo seats with RCI harnesses. gauge pod with autometer gauges Aiwa deck with a 600 watt fosgate amp and 2 Xcite subs.. Was drivin to a friends house when we had that really bad flood in etown and didnt see the road was flooded over and boom right in that thing along with like 15 other cars...Ins. took the car as a total loss so i had to start all over

So i looked at a few VW Golfs but nothin in my price range.So then i always wanted a tC so i looked..I also looked at a RS1 but it was a auto..If i knew what that car really was i might have got it lol...but i picked mine and so now I have her

[jessichick8]

I've only had 3 cars..

My first car was a 2000 Olds Alero, Automatic... I didn't have a choice, it was given to me.. but I was very grateful to have a new car at 16.

However... things happened with my dad.. the car went bye bye, and I had to buy another car. So.. I bought a '99 Mazda Miata with the sports suspension on it... It was fun! People made fun... The car came up to my hip.. haha!

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3038/2918896121_59d324678f_o.jpg

Then I got the tC... Wooooo!

[Str8upnya]

I started off with a pick up truck. Yee haaww!!! After I totaled it at Cromer's Ridge, I bought a 300Z. Met up with the wifey and had to choose between the car and her. Long story.... I bought a 93 RX7 and loved it. Full GREDDY turbo swap and loved it. So did the wall around "horse shoe bend." To slow things down, I bought a 2001 Tiburon and boosted it to the max, 320 whp. After putting a veilside body kit on, it became a show car only and was unable to drive at all. One time at Burnside, I bottomed out going 135 mph due to a little dip in the road. I sold it to a man in Nicholasville and it was totalled 1 week later. Then got a 2006 WRX and loved it, but it was going to cost an arm and a leg to get it in the shape I (we) wanted. Traded the Subie to get the 2008 TC. I am ready to make this car practicle and showable. I enjoy the car alot, even if it is an automatic. I know, automatic, hate hate hate. I can't wait to get the TC in shape. It's going to be a long workout......

[StreetSweeper]

Subie mmmmmmmm........I want one!!!

[Rags2Bitches]

I drove my neighbors WRX wagon coming home from school a few months back. It had a BOV, programmer (turned all the way up), and an intake and full Cobb Exhaust and a short throw. We got in it and he said "now take it easy, if you get above 4K rpms, you're pulling over and we're swapping spots" I went Ricky Bobby on him as soon as we got on the access highway "With all due respect, Luscious, I'm gonna do some driving".... downshift from 3rd to 2nd at 60 mph.....lol....he kept screaming to pull over and I was just thinking "what's he gonna do, pull the ebrake and spiral us into a wreck?" I raced 3 cars on the interstate and going around 40 mph curves and he was almost crying. lol

[dirtyred]

why have a car like that if your gonna drive like a granny? if he wants a granny car then by an xB2.

[Rags2Bitches]

you mean xB1?? :wallb:

[jessichick8]

Yea... At least the xb2 has a bigger engine. Sorry Fish. It's okay, though. I'm still a fan of both gens.

[Rags2Bitches]

yeah, I came to my senses that this engine will never be fast, so definitely concentrating on the interior and exterior the most now, and all I worry about under the hood is enough current flowing, but DAMMIT I want something fast on the side. lol

[jessichick8]

I do have to say... I am a HUGE fan of Crex's... it sounds so perty.

[dirtyred]

yeah, his is a seXBox. i'd do it in the gas hole.

[crex149]

Thanks, I like it too. I had been thinkging (again) about trading it for a full size truck, but dad just bought a Sierra super-crew, so I'll just borrow it. I would still like to have something that breaks the 150 hp mark tho. Even if it's something on the water. Would also like to have another trail toy. My Kodiak is a bit too bulky, so now I'm wanting a Yamaha Wolverine 450 4x4.

[jessichick8]

Sex box... that's hilarious.

Wow.. Jonathan... interesting list you have there. If I ever get a Lambo in my hands, I'll be sure to call you ;)

[scionsouth]

He lives!!!!

Yep. Sorry I've been slacking on here. Like everybody I got a lot going on lately.

[scionsouth]

Wow.. Jonathan... interesting list you have there.
I've been kind of lucky in the driving cool cars department. I've ruined Raina for life in the process, since most of the cool cars we've had here on the lot I've let her drive. It won't be long before she buys something with a lot more horsepower than her xA.


If I ever get a Lambo in my hands, I'll be sure to call you ;)

Thanks. Back at ya.

[jessichick8]

I highly recommend using mininova.org. I usue it religiously and haven't had a problem out of it yet.

[jessichick8]

:ontopic:

:)

[Str8upnya]

I used mininova before I got my TC. I have used bittorrent from the first days, which was back when I had my 300Z. Sorry Jessi,,,, Had to.....

[Rags2Bitches]

I love how you use when you had cars to tell a chronological happening when it has nothing to do with what you're describing.....I do that alot too. lol

BS~ Before Scion :fart:

[Zstamp19]

My first vehicle was a 1953 Chevy 3200 series with a custom wooden bed. Then I bought a 1971 Charger which was maxed out I'll have to get pictures put in digital format of those two. And then my last car was a 94 dodge intrepid. I was glad to get rid of it

[tweeder]

I had a 2004 Ford Ranger 4x4. Nice little 6 banger. The clutch kept screwing up, like it would stick and be slow releasing. But other than that, it brought me many "happy" times. :Banane22:

Hey when you have a truck, you have to use it like a truck should be used. Mud at least half way up the door, throttle to the floor and praying like hell someone has a wench. ;)

[Rags2Bitches]

did you ever go on one of Dan's "truck appraisals"?

[tweeder]

did you ever go on one of Dan's "truck appraisals"?


No. Where I was in New, we didnt get many truck trades, alot of crv's though. Why what does he do?

[scionsouth]

I think that was the same 94 dodge intrepid that we were also glad to get rid of. :dance:

[Rags2Bitches]

Trae was telling my he did this before the theater and all that was developed. He said he'd go to that hill at the back of the property and take it head on and try to climb that mountain. He said he'd hit it and go straight up in the air, sometimes blew the tranny before the deal was even made. LOL

HAhA he's a crazy mother f'er. I love him to death man. Stay on his good side and you will reap rewards

[Kid Morbid]

I drove a 99' GMC Sonoma before my scion.

Did a lot of the same things to it. Had it lowered, glow, system, etc.

only 850, with 226XXX miles and the AC work just fine. Miss that car because it was paid in full, plus no one hit that car, as fas as i could tell. ha ha ha

[jayjay]

i had a 2000 jeep Cherokee
a 2007 Toyota Camry...which parents took away giving me my wonderful tc!!!! YAY!

[rhettb]

85 Mustang for my first car. The first time my mom was riding with me (before I even had my license, permit only) I hit her car. Engine died later and got rid of it.
89 Ford Tempo. The biggest POS I ever owned. The cruise control would floor it to about five miles over what you set it, cruise to about five miles below what you set it, and then stat over. I once took in to get aligned and they said it wouldn't matter it was so bad. The only mod I ever did to it was take a pair of large cattle horns and tie them onto the hood with some old speaker wire. Got a lot of fun looks with that one, especially since I lived in Evnansville, IN at the time. Hey, if you're going to be driving a POS car, you might as well have some fun with it. Traded it in during one of those dealer specials where they'd give you a cuople grand for anything you bring in. Parked it in front of the dealership and they had to tow it away.
88 Dodge Omni. This one was really my wife's but my name was on the title too. Her grandma bought it brand new and then never drove it. When she got it in 97 it still had that new car smell. Almost a decade later it got towed away by someone who swore he could fix it up.
91 Mazda 929. Not the best looking car but by far the most fun to drive. I loved that car but the engine kept having problems and got tired of constantly fixing it.
97 Saturn SL2. My wife wanted this one. Not much really wrong with it but just never really liked it. Really wish I wouldn't have dropped that three grand into it for the new tranny. A year or two later the head gasket blew out and I was NOT going to drop a few more grand into to get that fixed.
96 Toyota Corolla. Great car. By far the most reliable car I have ever owned. Bought it when it had 95,000 miles on it for 3500 and drove it until some idiot pulled in front of me and I totalled it with 183,000 miles on it. I doubt I put one grand into it for repairs that entire time and it still ran perfectly. Durng that night I spent in the emergency room I knew exactly which car I wanted to buy to replace it. I'm still recovering from the broken leg.
2005 Scion xB. Wow, This car is fun. I tried a few other cars just to make sure I was getting the best deal and it was one of the easiest car decsions I ever made.
98 Chevy Cavalier. Again, techinically this is my wife's car but my name's on the title too. In two years and 20,000 miles we've spent as much (if not more) on repiars than my old Coroolla. When we went to Atlanta last summer we took the Corolla with twice the milage because it was by far the more reliable ride. Bought this one between the Corolla and the xB.

[crex149]

:dance:Good choice on the 05 xb!:clap:

[rhettb]

Thanks! I wanted one when I bought the Corolla and xB's first started showing here in Louisville but couldn't afford it back then. Now that used ones were on the market and I knew I'd have a down payment from the wreck I jumped as soon as I possibly could. Hopefully I make it to the next Lexington meeting.

I started off with a 1996 Saab 9000 CS 2.3L turbo. I still miss the boost but wouldn't go back to it. Too many electrical and trans demons. There was a period that if I was driving at night I could either have dash lights or headlights.
Between the Saab and the Scion I drove my dads Tundra. Nice truck. I wanted to drive the 93 Chevy but mom said no because it didn't have airbags.
