1) My 16th b-day present was my '94 Camaro Z28. Greatest first car in the world for any teen. Coming into the high school lot sidewayz always used to get a LOT of attention.
2) My 19th b-day was reality check for me and I had to sell my Z28 (550hp N/A and 10pts on the license) and get a '93 Prelude Vtec. Boy...what a wake up call. 3) Now with only 4pts on the license I sold my Lude and bought the '95 240SX. Time for fun again!!! |

First car: 1982 Buick Skylark with a 2.5L I-4. 0-60 in a day. 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. 0-60 in 12sec. Almost as much fun as the 240 (sad to say, especially with no exhaust <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=' ![]() ![]() Third: 1996 240. Nothing else to say <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=' ![]() |

My first car was my 93 240 which is still running great after beating the piss outta it for ~4 years (and 50k miles), can't beat that <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>
my second car is a 97 Explorer Limited V8 AWD which is pretty damn nice.... but definitely no 240 replacement |

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. |

my first car was a 1964 olds cutlass with hydraulics 10 switches, 2 pumps, 8 batteries in the trunk, Dayton Wire wheels, The car was like brand new 45000 orig miles It was bad ass but hydraulics are a pain in the ass and very expensive.

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.

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. That car taught me and my sister how to drive and after 135,000+ plus still hasn't had a clutch replaced (though that doesn't mean it doesn't need one, though it never slips).
Last year I bought m first car, my current 93 240.

We gotta get you off the streets. You're personally destroying the S13 population!

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. 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:'> I had this alongside the Neon because I was planning on doing some major work to the Neon and needed a ride to work. But, you know how that story ends. The Neon's replacement was my current GTI, which is a lot quicker to begin with. 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. This time the S13's the project, though, as my GTI is mostly what I'm looking for mechanically. |

1987 VW Jetta GL automatic. Sleeper grey. Fastest it would EVER go is 100. That's it. Flat out. Got it for $3600. Traded it in for $2200 two years later for a...
1990 Acura Integra LS hatch 5 speed. Maroon. Awesome car. Went 130 down a mountain pass in Colorado once. 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. Grrrreeeeat. I drove a Neon for 2 weeks while the insurance company decided what to do. Neons are GREAT for humping portable stop signs at Meijer. They suck at EVERYTHING else. Then, I jokingly asked my rich aunt if she had any "extra" cars. She said yes, and that for the price of shipping, I could have her.... 1989 Nissan 240SX coupe. Maroon. Only goes 118...but hits the limiter HARD. I probably dump way more money into this car than I should. But it's worth it. 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. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=' ![]() Eric

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

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