I have owned the following vehicles in my 15 years of having a license:
(1) 85/86 Subaru XT - the most sour lemon ever despite my stepfather initially calling it "cherry" as I handed over my hard earned cash from my dishwasher-chaffed hands.
(2) 86' Toyota Celica - Utterly indestructible. Ran like a gazelle despite not receiving an oil change for over 22,000 miles among various other beatings. However, the final beating it received by hoodlums on the side of the highway in Providence, RI would be it's final bout. RIP
(3) 98' Nissan 200SX SE-R - I should have never been allowed to own this vehicle in the first place. However, it was good while it lasted. In college, I would wake up weekly to some new ding or vandalism done to it. Alas, it was repossessed. I hope she's in good hands.
(4) 88' Ford Mustang - It was a convertible. However, it wouldn't go down much for fear that it wouldn't be able to go back up. Also, the only domestic & automatic tranny I have ever owned. I ended up having to rebuild that tranny. This was a purchase out of desperation and good price from a distant relative. Piece of shit. Fuck that car.
(5) 91' Toyota Tercel - Another bulletproof Toyota. In the three years I owned it, I only had one repair; a CV joint. I don't think it was possible for that car to leave me stranded on the side of the road. It wasn't in it's DNA. However, my DNA ultimately trumped it by driving up off the freeway and going air born, flipping upside down, and landing on the windshield for a good couple hundred feet. SHe let me walk away from her without a single scratch. RIP
(6) 96' Honda Accord - My current autocarro. So far, in the 4 years I've owned her, she's been a dream.
Gotta love them nips.
