I know there are threads about your current cars, but what cars have you owned since you got your license? what year, model, how many miles, how much did you pay (or your parents pay) and any cool stories about the car.

1st car - 1994 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer Edition, poop green, 260,000 miles, I payed $600 for it haha rusted out but still ran like a champ, I put a system in it but I wired it wrong and my amped would overheat and the subs would shut off, I miss it, sold for $600

2nd car - 1993 Ford Ranger Splash 4x4, Red/Orange, 80,000 miles inherited it from my dad who payed $7000 in 1997, 33in tires + 4x4 = nothing can stand in my way, Little bro is taking it.

3rd car - 2002 Acura RSX Type-S, grey, 111,000, payed $7,500, cd player caught on fire and now I don't have a radio, so I hate it. also it's for sale.

pic of ranger and rsx, sorry no pic for the explorer

1st. 1970 ford t-bird, got 2 speeding tickets within 2 weeks (got the dropped eventually) so my dad made me sell it

2nd. 1991 Ford Ranger pick up. great truck. huge 3.0 V6 engine. drove it till it died and I wanted a car

3rd. 1995 VW jetta 2.slo  magnaflo exhaust, cai, ecu chip, kenwood system, great car but it was a FUCKING MONEY PIT!!!!!!

4th. 1998 Mitsubishi Eclipse. full carbon fiber body kit. crashed it into the back of a celica going 50mph while the celica was at a complete standstill. body kit blew up into little pieces car was totalled.

5th. 1993 Geo Metro hatchback. awesome fucking car. beat the piss out of it, treated it like shit and it still ran nice. too bad it looked as bad as satans asshole.

6th. 1998 VW GTI. awesome car, 18" chrome rims, kenwood system, brospeed cat back exhaust, injen cai, ecu chip. Around 173k miles the transmission seized up on me.

7th (and current) 2004 Mazda 6s with a V6 3.0 and sport body kit, full leather with heated seats, 6 disc Bose cd system with a 8 inch Bose subwoofer. Car is soo sick. Manual transmission. Only has 80k miles on it. As soon as I get my tax return back I'm gonna upgrade the clutch in it and lower it like 2 inches.

1st: I drove my parents' 1998 Chevrolet Tahoe for the first 6 months I had my license. I didn't mind driving that truck, it was big and fun.

Almost every sticker we acquired went on the back of that truck. Here it is from a little while ago. The back side windows are now also almost completely surrounded too, and we still have the truck.

2nd: I got my own car a year ago: 2006 Subaru Impreza, 5 speed of course. I just painted the wheels this past weekend. I have also had it tinted, debadged it, put on a ski rack, hardwired a radar detector, and fully installed a stereo system with speakers, amp, deck, tweeters, and crossovers.

1st and current car is a 2003 VW Jetta GLX with a V6

It was bought fully loaded so i didn't have to do much besides put in subs seeing as it already came with an 8 speaker system.

I think this summer a friend is selling me 19inch rims for it CANTWAIT :3

i bought a 98 jeep grand cherokee 5.9L v8 when i was 15 for 1500, which was soo cheap. put 33's on it and about 2 grand in the sound system.  that thing could pull ricers like nothing, such a sleeper.  totaled it though.

When I was 16:
1993 Subaru Legacy 120k miles on it. My family bought it new in 93 and its gone through my older sister who crashed it into a house and my older brother. Had a oil leak and blew a rod through the motor with like 150k.

At 17
1999 Subaru Forester with like 98k miles and I still have it but it has like 135k on it now.

Now at 19 my daily driver is an 07 Subaru Impreza. Bought it last April with 22k and now it has 43k.
