My sig tells the story of my car ownership history. The Toronado was a good car. I just loved the thing. Powerfull V6, fake dual exhaust, power everything, ABS brakes, moonroof, and 4 wheel disc brakes. Was a good car till I blew the tranny. Someone bought and fixed the tranny but tore the crap out of it. Quite sad actualy. Cause I had that thing in very good condition. Oh well, thats why I have the Pro now. Cause the Saturn sure didn't do much for me.

1st car 1998 Kia Sephia LS, tons of mods done to it, had it up until a month go. Bad snow storm+ice=totalled. Great car I loved it a lot, only one in my area with a Kia and a body kit, and performance to back it up. It was a great car. People say why mod a Kia i say have you had one? Where was Honda when they first came out, same place as Kia is now.
Car now-03 Protege LX, I love this car, more so than my sephia because it handles a lot better than that car, and you can tell the difference in build quality. So far, very pleased, it was either this protege, or a brand new Kia Spectra.

Okay.. I gotta throw my pennies in...
First car... 1974 Ford LTD 2 door with a 400 big block. Battleship Gray.. we called it the USS Enterprise. I beat that car to hell and back, dropped the rear shocks cause of frame rot, and still drove it.. then we called it the Mexican Dream.. (sorry to offend anyone) cause the rear end bounced non stop after a bump.... I still miss the fun that was in that car..
1978 Olds Cutlass Supreme with the 262 V8.. gutless wonder...
1984 Olds Cutlass Calais with a built 307 V8... 4 barrell.. headers.. shift kit... no cats.. big borla exhaust.. man that thing could hum... bucket seats and factory console shifter... was a very nice car... When I joined the Navy.. I gave it to my mother... who drove it daily... car looks like hell now but has like 300k on it and purrs fine....
1997 Geo Metro - my then wife's car.. I hated it... but it got everywhere ...
1991 Plymouth Laser RS - I seriously miss this car too... a total sleepr... had a custom turbo kit and intercooler, but looked completely factory save the tinted windows... was my V8 eater. Had to go though cause the maintenance on one of those is pretty spendy if you do it right.
1998 Toyota Corolla LE.. first year they used a chain drive instead of a belt for the timing... very nice car.. put 50k on it in one year.. gotta love the Navy for moving ya so much...
1986 Z 28.... When I bought it in 1998, it had 22,272 original miles that were documted. Driven by an old man, and lost during my divorce...
1989 Honda Civic DX Sedan - yanno.. after driving a Z 28 and a FI Laser, this was like a rock. But, it has 301k and only thing it needs is a head gasket, on the original motor.. and I've beat that puppy to hell and back...
2003 Protege LX.... Not a Ferrari but my pride and joy... I pity the fool that scratches it when I see em...
Damn.. that was long. but there ya go.... Oh yeah.. and I'm only 25. so not ancient or anything.... just a few cars...
