00 GTP (the family car) - it was getting up in miles, out of warranty, starting to show signs of possible problems, needed reliable car for the wife to drive. I don’t mind breaking down myself every once in a while and having to work on them, just not great when she’s driving with the kids. ---

1990 Thunderbird SC. Sweet ride, but a complete money pit, so had to move onto something cheaper and parts readily available. ---

85 CRX Si - started to rust away around late 03, tried to put it away and redo some of the floors. but I totaly lost intrest and realized it was above me and would just cost WAY to much money to finish. I parted some of it out, most of the parts are still sitting in my shed/basement. The damn shell didnt get removed from my house until like 05. I had replacement 1/4s from denmark since there hard to find, but man, this makes me realize I need to get this shit sold ASAP lol ---

1983 Toyota Starlet-Great car, one of the cleanest ones on the East Coast and lots of fun to auto cross and daily drive even with the stock 40HP engine. I had purchased an '86 AE86 so I could swap over the twin cam drivetrain and suspension into the Starlet but my divorce started right after I parted out the AE86 and I needed money to pay off bills so I sold the car to a guy who drove it back to Canada. No big deal, I still have my '75 280Z and I finally got a turbo 280ZX donor car so I still have a cool project to work on. ---

1991 Cavalier. Got rid of it because it was my first car and I pounded the hell out of it. 7 oil pans from jumping it. Then it finally blew the second head gasket and warped the head. Sold it for $750 and put the money down on my Civic along with what I saved. ---

Last “fun” car- 1999 Mustang GT. I sold it a few years back and got the current 95 GT. At the time, there weren’t many options for playing around with mod-motors and I wanted to toy around with something, so I went back to a 5.0. Now, I’m starting to regret my decision as WORLDS of progress have been made with the 4.6 in the past two years. ---

Hmmmm…let’s see…I guess the last thing i actually sold was my 96 F150 4x4. I sold it because trucks are fucking stupid. I bought the damn thing on a whim, and because i thought it was a good deal(bought it from 2 Lesbians in Pittsburgh, and no they were not hot). It was a 6 banger 5 speed and was a huge fucking gas pig. I kept it a month and sold it and made a grand, so i cant complain i guess. ---

99 honda accord v6 was a great car, but it wasnt fast enough for me. so i talked to the subaru dealer they would give me 7K for my accord enough to pay it off so that was good enough for me, the day before i traded my car in the car the thermostat stuck and the car over heated severly. i let it sit over night drove it to the dealer and traded her it. on the wrx, now that i have the wrx i wish it was faster so next year ill probably do a turbo swap and then ill be happy hopefully. ---

2003 Dodge Dakota. It was a 2wd, extended cab, v6 truck. Got horrible gas mileage and i put around 63,000 miles on it in about 30 months. I couldnt tow, i couldn’t take more than 1 person around with me in it, I rarely if ever used the bed, and I got about 14mpg. Traded it in on a 06 Impala LT and then bought an 87 Suburban to help keep miles down on the Impala and also to tow my project Blazer with. ---
