'87 Golf $200
'92 Mustang 4 cyl $1000
'96 Escort GT $2500
'94 Mustang GT $6500
'01 Tracker $8000
'99 Miata $7000

The golf i only had for like a month before the mustang but both of them were total shitboxes. The mustang had a different drivers door, no exhaust after the cat, shitty interior, bad tranny, and the heat/power windows would stop working if it was too humid out. I still have the tracker and miata.

Oldsmobile? Is that a real car brand or is that slang for something? LOL!

My first car was an '88 Holden Gemini, it had a bullet proof Isuzu engine. Never changed the oil, just topped it up when the warning light came on.

After that I got a '96 Civic sedan. I fiddled with the suspension and got into circuit racing with this one.

Then I got a '05 Golf 2.0 TDI. Brilliant car but too many little issues bothered me enough to not want to keep it outside warranty. Only car I have ever (and most likely will ever) buy new.

Next up was an '04 MSM. Nice car, but stupid diff ratio and lack of steering feedback. I liked to drive older fives over this one.

Now I have an '89 MX-5 that I tinker with all the time. It has a few annoying rattles but good apart from that.

A brand new shiny............................FORD PINTO!! I loved that car. Hey. at least it was new.

When I look back I also realize that cars I wanted then I would want nothing to do with now for various reasons. My top three when I was 15 were 300z TT 3000gt TT and the IROC Camaro. Thank god I didn't have the means to get into one of those.

Yeah, it's for real, LOL. Its (it was) a branch of GM. They used to make cool stuff... Google Oldsmobile 442. I's hard to sell new cars with "old" in the name.
