basemies is an unknown quantity at this point
i've had 5 cars:

1st - 1983 oldsmobile toronado.  5 liter v8, decent acceleration, fwd.  it was a very very comfortable car for long trips, handled 4 wheeler/dirt bike trails very well.

2nd - 1990 oldsmobile delta 88.  i wanted a celica alltrac at this point, but instead i got this piece of shit.  cloverleafs were restricted to about 40 mph, and that was pushing it to the limit.  not as comfortable as the toronado.

3rd - 1988 honda civic dx.  this car was $20.  it needed a gas tank, which was $35, and the hardware was $15.  no other parts were replaced over the 2000 miles i put on it in the 3 weeks i had it.  i drove this car hard as hell on dirt, it was alright.

4th - 1986 toyota corolla gt-s.  i drifted this car around every corner possible.  i learned how to change a rearend after meeting a curb.  i learned that fixing the rear brakes after replacing a rear end is important after i met up with a guardrail and ended this cars life.  this was a great car, but it cruised at 4500 rpms, 5th gear at 80 mph.  

5th - 1989 nissan 240sx.  red coupe, 94k miles, excellent condition interior and exterior.  my favorite car so far, with the hachiroku as a close 2nd.
