I had an 85 nissan truck 5-speed (extended cab) w/ a custom wood bed Which was only coated in a clear coat stuff (shelak??), and some after market 15x8 Bullet hole brushed aluminum wheels. There were two Grey Power Bucket seats from an 80 something Corvette bolted in place of the previous seats (Talk about some Great seats.. mmmm.). And the trim inside was painted with that Texture paint in a green/white/grey color. The front end was lowered, and it had been painted with a brush a dark blue. So there were random runs in the paint. Me and my friend put some custom grey Pin striping on it too. The back windows had tint in them that had turned purple from age, and amonia. Super phat dope ride yo. I had SOOO Many memories in that car.
I ended up Blowing the engine racing an integra on the highway. I was doing about 115 for about 5-6 min. I was blowing TONS of smoke. It wouldn't stay running unless I kept the gas pressed. I got home and looked under the hood, and the water pump was literally Hanging off the front of the motor. Needless to say. No more coolant in engine. The top two bolts were Sheared off. (hard to make up an excuse to my parents) Mecahnic checked it, and I had lost ALL compression on all 4 pistons. We replaced the engine and she never ran the same. Sold her 2 weeks later. Poor baby. I miss her.
BTW- I beat the integra. (it was an old one)

Black 1994 Chevy S10 Super Sport. Had a Vortec 4.3L V6. 3 in. drop in the front, 5 in. drop in the back, with some 16x8 chrome wheels. Only mod to the engine was a drop-in K&N air filter. I loved the truck. Nothing ever went wrong with, except the alternator went bad one time, no big deal. I gave that truck #### too went I first got it. Power braking (put out hella smoke), donuts, you name it, no off roadin' though. It started to lose a little power before I sold it. I was irresponsible, not changing the oil regularly and stuff (shame on me, I know <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('> ). I bought it in '97 for like $8,500, then trade it for my even more loved and better taken care '97 240sx SE. I got $5,400 for trade in three years later and it had 125,000 miles on it! I thought that was pretty good considering another car lot was only gonna give me like $3,200 for it.
But even when my S10 SS was running good I don't think it could hang with my 240sx.

1990 Nissan Sentra "Sports Coupe" odd how it was called a sports coupe cuz it was a hatchback... and I couldnt find any sport in the #### thing either. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Fun little car though. It was like new when i got it. 50k miles, not a scratch on her. Weak ass 1.6L 5spd. like 90hp I think. But ####, Those E-Brake slides were hella fun. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

hey EONE, seems like we have somethign in common.
I also had a chevy cavalier
I also had no A/C
I also had no heat
it was a 90 though, and I never found out how many miles the son of a bitch had, cause the meter was fucked up somehow.
I would drive around the block, and it would add miles to my shit. That peice of shit would brake down once a month at least. The death of it was when the #### head gasket blew.
The funny part of that car was it didnt have a guage to tell me if the car was hot or cold. I never if the car was ready or not, what a hunk of junk.

well, it was just my mom and me at the time and we had two vehicles but we swapped them out every now and then so it was either/both:
1985 jeep cj-7 or
1985 fiero GT (2.8L v6) even tho that car had mad problems it was still pretty fast and it made an awesome exhaust note.
rabbit, i would love to have an old 240z. i bet you did have a lot of fun with it. would love to find one and restore it and put a chevy small block v8 in it.

my first car was a 1997 integra gsr.. with a bad tranny, ended up trading it in fro my mom's maxima with in two weeks, then i got a 1996 civic si, but it was a lemon, had major frotn end damage, but it was hidden well ... took it back to the dealership. finally i drove my dad's minivan for a month, then around november of last year, my dad decided to give me his "baby" a mint condition 1990 240sx fastback-- he was the first owner, and it was grage kept. nothing wrong at all. i fell in love with her, all along she had been right beneath my nose.. i love her.

Mods - immaginary cat-back exhaust. Well actually the whole exhaust from the cat, back, fell off after i got some wicked air in the car. Drove it arround like that for 5 months. It actually wasn't that loud.
The car also did pretty well off-road. The car held up well considering all the crazy shit i did to it. I'm considering getting annother one as my daily driver.

85 dodge D-50, decent truck, huge system, high current amps in glovebox were cooled by my A/C.

1987 Honda Civic Hatchback DX 5 speed...like 65 horsepower, but that thing got around 35 MPG, and (at the time) would fil up for $9.00. I am looking for one of those in good condition to be my daily driver soon.
Im not sure, the first (legally) road registerable car I owned was a Peugot 504 1971, weighed about 1500kg, twin carbie 2L 4cylinder, independant suspension and 4wheel discs all round. It could be made to go fast, the fact I destroyed 2 engines in it was testimony to that, apart from that it was roomy, extreamly comfortable and probably one of the best handling cars for what it was.
Around that time I was destroying a Leyland mini and doing up a Ford escort Mk1 coupe for rally, I succeded with both cars, utterly destroying both of them is some airbourne shennigans involving large rocks, pine trees and high speed.
I miss the escort, the rest just sucked, but for I think the total amount of money I spent on all three would have been less than $2000 and it was a lot of fun.
