First car: 1982 Buick Skylark with a 2.5L I-4. &nbsp;0-60 in a day. &nbsp;Tranny broke, could chirp second gear tho (auto).

Second car: 1988 Mercury Tracer (still in the family, looks like a Mazda 323), 1.6L I-4 82hp. &nbsp;0-60 in 12sec. &nbsp;Almost as much fun as the 240 (sad to say, especially with no exhaust &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> &nbsp.

hell yeah. I also had an old ass cavalier, not sure of the year but i think somewhere out of the 80s. It ran on 3 out of 4 cylinders and took forever to get to the speed limit. I got it for free though when my friends bought a new car so i'm complaining.

i've had 5 cars:

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

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

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

4th - 1986 toyota corolla gt-s. &nbsp;i drifted this car around every corner possible. &nbsp;i learned how to change a rearend after meeting a curb. &nbsp;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. &nbsp;this was a great car, but it cruised at 4500 rpms, 5th gear at 80 mph. &nbsp;

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

the one thing I hated about my Cavalier was that the bracket for the driver seat was broken on the right side so every time I made a right turn or sharp turn the seat would tilt to the left <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

The first car I drove on a regular basis was my parents 88 Mazda 626. &nbsp;That car taught me and my sister how to drive and after 135,000+ plus still hasn't had a clutch replaced (though that &nbsp;doesn't mean it doesn't need one, though it never slips).

Last year I bought m first car, my current 93 240.

First was a 1995 Dodge Neon Sport Coupe... packin' the 150hp DOHC and 5 speed... Ran a 16.0@83... Drove it like I stole it, sold it when it started to rust (thanks road salt)

For a while I also had a 1986 200SX hatchback 5spd. &nbsp;It was slow and ran shitty, then I passed it on to a friend who replaced the fuel filter, which transformed it into a competent car. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/huh.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':huh:'> &nbsp;I had this alongside the Neon because I was planning on doing some major work to the Neon and needed a ride to work. &nbsp;But, you know how that story ends.

The Neon's replacement was my current GTI, which is a lot quicker to begin with. &nbsp;Plus it has a great stereo and rattles *slightly* less.

But then I got the two-car bug again for some reason this past winter and bought my S13. &nbsp;This time the S13's the project, though, as my GTI is mostly what I'm looking for mechanically.

1987 VW Jetta GL automatic. &nbsp;Sleeper grey. &nbsp;Fastest it would EVER go is 100. &nbsp;That's it. &nbsp;Flat out. &nbsp;Got it for $3600. &nbsp;Traded it in for $2200 two years later for a...

1990 Acura Integra LS hatch 5 speed. &nbsp;Maroon. &nbsp;Awesome car. &nbsp;Went 130 down a mountain pass in Colorado once. &nbsp;Loved every minute of driving that...just as I was about to start putting money into it, some tool in a Sentra in a Chicago snowstorm spun out on I-57 and totaled it. &nbsp;Grrrreeeeat. &nbsp;I drove a Neon for 2 weeks while the insurance company decided what to do. &nbsp;Neons are GREAT for humping portable stop signs at Meijer. &nbsp;They suck at EVERYTHING else. &nbsp;Then, I jokingly asked my rich aunt if she had any "extra" cars. &nbsp;She said yes, and that for the price of shipping, I could have her....

1989 Nissan 240SX coupe. &nbsp;Maroon. &nbsp;Only goes 118...but hits the limiter HARD. &nbsp;I probably dump way more money into this car than I should. &nbsp;But it's worth it. &nbsp;Especially on days like today when some dude in a Civic pulls up next to me and starts ogling so hard it looks like his eyes are going to pop out. &nbsp; <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

1st--1990 Pontiac Grand Am, auto, blue/grey with peeling clear coat. &nbsp;It had cold a/c, decent factory stereo/speakers, and handled every bit as well as a tug boat pushing a barge.
2nd--1995 Chevy Z-71 Off Road Package 4x4, auto, black/beige. &nbsp;Nice truck. &nbsp;Taught me alot about vehicle control and demension: &nbsp;I remember driving that thing between parked cars, my side mirrors barely clearing their roofs. &nbsp;It still serves duty as the family work truck/backup vehicle.
3rd--1995 Honda Accord EX, auto, light blue. &nbsp;Couldn't ask for much more from a mid-size sedan (except maybe a little more power...and a 5spd. woulda been nice). &nbsp;Leather interior, good factory stereo system plus 2 8's in the trunk. &nbsp;This is the car I first attempted autox'ing in...and auto of all things. &nbsp;Needless to say, that didn't last long, so...
4th--1992 Nissan 240SX Fastback Base, 5spd., sandstone. &nbsp;Hard to ask for a better handling car (stock suspension w/ 127K miles) for $3K. &nbsp;It handles better now, and will moreso when I'm done with it. &nbsp;My only complaints: &nbsp;factory stereo sucks, and Sandstone ext./Beige&Brown int. is blah.
(near future)5th--1987 Ford Ranger XLT, 5spd., maroon/black. &nbsp;Something to get me around while my car is under the knife for the turbo/rebuild. &nbsp;Many thanks to my dad for letting me borrow it. &nbsp;(I just hope it works after setting up for 4yrs.)

1st car: 1984 Crown Vic, aka The Sheet Metal Rocket. &nbsp;Driving it was like a magic carpet ride. &nbsp;You just glided down the road. &nbsp;Never asked much, just a fuel pump and oil changes.
