RE:cars owned
Ugh...this could be a long list, and could very well change several times by the time I am through...hehe...
66 Ford Mustang - Bought in 1990 when I was 14. 89 Ford Ranger 4x2 88 Ford Tempo GLS <u>91 Escort GT</u> 83 Mercury Capri RS 5.0 - this thing was awesome...I owned it 7 years. I'll try to scan in some pictures of it. 91 Ford Festiva <u>89 Ford Ranger 4x4</u> 89 Probe GT <u>91 Escort GT</u> <u>93 Probe GT</u> 94 Probe GT (for parts) 83 Subaru 4x4 wagon (winter bomb) <u>87 Nissan 4x2</u> 87 Nissan Pathfinder <u>94 Nissan 4x4</u> 87 VW Golf (winter bomb) 89 Audi 80 Quattro 87 VW Golf GTi 89 Audi 90 Quattro 88 VW Golf GTi 16 valve <u>99 Cougar</u> <u>02 F150 FX4 Supercab</u> <u>00 Focus ZX3</u> Anything that is <u>underlined</u> means that it was purchased from the a salvage yard and rebuilt. Anything in bold means I still own it. These were/are all owned by me....no mom and dad vehicles listed. We don't have enough bandwidth for that I think that is it, and it is mostly in chronological order. I usually own 2 or 3 at a time and am always selling, buying, or rebuilding something else. |

RE: cars owned
Hmm, lets see....
Age 16 (8/2002-7/2003): tan 1987 Jeep Cherokee 4x4, 4.0L I6, AT. Great 4x4! Took every bit of beating I gave it (which for a 16 year old driver is a lot!). 248k miles when I sold her cuz the rear main seal was leaking like a siv. Other than that, still ran great! I sold it cuz I am more of a "car-person" than a 4x4 person. Age 17 (7/2003-4/2004): white 1986 Honda Accord LX-i hatchback. 2.0L I4 f/i, MTX. shorty ram intake, rice muffler, was actually pretty quick (for an 86 Honda). Actually beat a 96 Camaro V6 with it. Sold it due to a cracked head/blown head gasket/cracked block (never found out what was wrong.) Fun, but it was a massive POS. Age 18 (4/2004-8/2004): Spruce Green 1999 Mercury Cougar V6, ATX. V-Tech painted taillight covers, painted headlights, "Cougar head" 3rd brake light cover. I absolutly loved the car. Other than the 5 alternators in 2 months, anyways. I had a lot of plans for it. Got in a fight with parents and they took the car away (VERY long story. I still don't understand why they did what they did.). Age 18/19: (9/2004-present): Dark Black 1989 Ford Mustang LX hatchback. "Project Black Fox" plans: 5.0L V8, TREMEC 3550 5-speed, Bassani off-road X-pipe, full exhaust, long tube headers, 17" Cobra R rims (powdercoated black), Nitto 455R tires, 4.10 gears, 4-wheel disc/5-lug conversion, slotted/drilled rotors, dual piston front calipers (99 GT), racing seats, 5-point harness, white face gauges, on and on and on.... I'll just say "work-in-progress".

RE:cars owned
16 yrs old- 93 Mercury Topaz, red 2 dr. 2.3 L 4 banger, that thing was awesome. i beat on it so bad and it took everything i could throw at it.... except for catching the door along side the house *damn my friends hand just had to slip as he closed it and i didnt notice*.
a week before my 17th birthday, we traded it in for a Silver 99 Cougar. Love the car just getting to the point were it is becoming to expensive to keep, but luckily my parents are helping pay for repairs. So i have had it for about 3 and a half years and put alittle over 107k miles on it in that time. So some stuff is bound to break with that many miles.

RE:cars owned
Being only 21 years old I have yet to OWN a car, hence I am still paying for mine, but it is in MY name, not my parents.
However, my parents have loaned me... - 1993 Mercury Sable ( My first car that I drove for about a year or so) -1999 3.0 Taurus ( My car my senior year in high school) |

RE: cars owned
I bought a 1980 Chevette in high school for $200; drove the crap out of it and sold it 7 years later for... you guessed it, $200. It had over 200,000 miles on it.
Then I got a 1980 Chevy Citation 2.8 V6 2-door hatch, and drove that thing until it lost second gear. Then I bought the Cougar. Sometimes I think I'd be better off with the Chevette...
