Used, Cash: 1986 Dodge Omni 2.2 5sp That Omni got beat on so hard I’m surprised it survived as long as it did. Gosh, that brings back some memories. 18" flame shootin’ out of a glasspack muffler on a econoturdbox when you shifted gears above 5000 RPM like a rally car…that was the original FnF 🙂 ---

93 Honda Civic EX SOHC 5spd. Brought it the day after my cobalt ss 2.4l was wrecked (not totaled). Had for a year and 3 months until a drunk driver hit and totaled it while it was parked. Spent a lil over $3k for the car. Got $2500 from his insurance and brought a 95 Honda Accord EX SOHC 5spd and paid $1500 in cash and the rest went to my cobalt’s payment for the next few months. ---

First car I bought with my own money was my 1986 Mustang GT. My brother bought it when I was 14 for 1200 and we fixed it up. I paid for all the repairs and he sold it to me when it was finished and I turned 17 for 1200. It’s been pretty reliable and a fun car to learn to drive. ---

I’m sure many of us remember that thing. I remember it sitting in the garage next to my truck for many, many moons. What did you do with it? Last I saw it was flat black. I thought you still had it. ---

i still have it. rewiring it again because i changed a lot of shit to where it be easier to rewire than make changes to harness, 3 spd auto trans, 35r, solid lifter head, e30 bmw dash and some other shit. i like how it looks exterior wise, so thats not changing. no motivation to be prompt on getting it done. It will get done, but not a priority. rate im going be done for 2010. ---

My first car was a white 1995 Grand Prix GTP…It was pimped beyond belief! It was lowered with American Racing rims with badass checkered fag decals down the side and an underbody neon kit that added 25hp!!! Haha I look back at some of the previous cars I have done and wander WTF was i thinkin lol. It did have a kick ass sound system in it though, which is partially responsible for me beeing half def today 🙂 Solo Barics were the shit back then. O ya and a homemade intake and Magnaflow exhaust, this thing was by far the fastest car evar!
