18First car was a beautiful white 5 speed Taurus SHO, felt like an arse for putting so many miles on her driving to and from college, so I bought a 240 knowing I would end up swapping the engine/transmission once I've run the ka down into the ground anyhow...soo right now its 1993 Red S13 Fastback, 5 Speed, awaiting the summer's SR swap and repaint.

If the lot of you promise not to push me & the 100 dollar 240 out to sea on an ice flow, I'll admit my age....

I'll be sixty-three in April.

But as long as I still bend my body enough to get in & out of a "sports" car, I'll do it.

Just for the record.

Ist car - Dad's '51 Buick Roadmaster - 3 tons, no power steering.After that - '53 Olds 88, '57 Buick Special - three on the tree (rare), '59 Olds Dynamic 88 (drove it coast-to-coast & back in total comfort), '53 Morris Minor convertible, '57 VW (tiny rear window, folding sunroof - paid $300 & sold for $300 in Germany - probably worth $30,000 today), '66 Fiat 850 Coupe, '56 Mercedes 190 sedan, '68 Fiat 124 Coupe, '72 Opel Manta 1900 - last new car I ever bought. '70 Olds Cutlass (got 236K miles outta' the bugger), '77 Olds Delta (World's slowest car), '81 Plymouth Champ - Twin stick - Fun car, '82 VW Scirocco (inherited from daughter), '87 Chrysler LeBaron GTS sedan (non-turbo - got totalled in a month) '87 Chrysler LeBaron GTS sedan TURBO!(This is more like it!) Great car - still going strong at 230K miles when sold. '88 Plymouth Voyager van - still in driveway. '92 Subaru SVX - finally got my dream car. '93 240SX - just passed inspection, after spending another $600 on the $100 investment. Now we go see if an old fart can drift.

1st car 1990 240sx fastback. I've swapped in a rb20det into that car. I still own it and I also bought a 1991 240sx coupe as a daily driver as my fastback is my project car. Not rich or anything. I just work lots of hours at a minimum wage job.

Ron, I really enjoyed reading your list. Some very interesting carsand a few we have in common. I had a 72 Opel Manta as a company "yard" car many many moons ago (fastback with a 4 spd - I loved it).I eventually replaced the Manta with a 1970 olds cutlass- yellow with a half vinyl roof and a 350 v-8. Fast and comfortable, very numb steering but it could be steered with a finger. I loved the Fiat 124 Coupe. I worked for a Fiat dealer as a kid, and drove several of them. Though the spiders were far big sellers, I thought the coupes were way more more cool.

Same thing for the 850 coupe. Fun and nimble, but uncommon.ones I drove tended to make instaneous lane changes in crosswinds. But they were a hoot to drive.

How about posting a pic or two of your SVX? Very sexy car.

Regards.

Hi, Bubba. Coincidences - I too replaced the Opel at 130K, with the '70 Olds that I bought with 90K & drove for another 146K. The 124 Coupe was bought new in '68 & ran nicely for four years 'til it turned into iron oxide in my driveway. I bought the little 850 coupe in Germany after falling in love with one that my then German girlfriend owned. I planned to bring it back to the states, but ran it headlong into the biggest Mercedes truck I could find one drunken night. I brought the German girlfriend back instead & married her. I'm scanner challenged. The '92 SVX is ebony & mint if you can ignore one tiny door ding. Go to http://www.subaru-svx.net for some interesting stuff.

Regards - Ron.

I'll be 23 in May. This is my... 5th car. Damn. I just counted. I had a Dodge raider that I rolled. My mom gave me her 85 Saab 900s that I never drove. It was fast, the power steering was gone, and I had my Raider so I didn't need to drive it. Sold the saab in 2000 for 1100 bucks. I bought a 89 prelude with that 1100 and got hit in it a year later. That was totaled and a year later I bought a 92 accord that I got a free tanabe header (R&D for their USDM accord header), and bought some kyb agx's and pro lines for. Then I rear ended a guy 2 days before thanksgiving in 03. Sold it for $700, with the damn suspension since I had JUST moved and threw out the old suspension (crappy). Then on January 15th I had an epiphany. I was looking for a car for months. I had considered a 240, but they were all going for 2k or so, just out of my price range. So I started looking for a honda. Then I saw a 89 fb for 1700 that came on the recycler that day, I offered him 1500 and took it the next day. That was that. Now I've sunk about another grand into it and love it. PEACE. Tek.

I'm 24... will be 25 in another week (YAY FOR ME!)

I've owned....

(1994-1995)1984 Toyota Camry HatchbackLasted for all of 3 months before the auto transmission exploded

(1995 - 1996)1977 Biuck LeSabreBaby blue, roll-down window shades, and room for 3 kegs in the trunk - aka the perfect high school car!

(1996-1997)1994 Nissan Sentra XEFirst Stickshift car - beat the crap out of it and it kept coming back for more!

(1998 - 1999)1980 Volvo 240DL WagonMy college car - got me back and forth with LOTS of space for all my crap. Worked out great until the V6 exploded in Phoenix one day...

(2000 - 2002)1988 Honda Accord DXBought this car for $350 from a friend of mine, drunk. We both stumbled to the ATM, I gave him cash, he gave me the pink slip. Drove this car into the ground, then sold it for $1000. Yay drunken friends!

(2002 - Present)1986 Toyota 4x4 PickupThis was my grandfather's truck - he left it to me. Been using it as a daily driver for the past few years, and love it. Lets put it this way, the truck had 49000 ORIGINAL miles on it when I got it... it now has 90000 miles on it. Of course, the old beaut is taking a rest because...

(2004 - Present)1992 Nissan 240SX Hatchback (base model)Paid $2500, but it's from the original family (2 owners, same family) No major problems, just needs some TLC on the body. Already installed lots of stuff (just click on the pic in my sig, it'll take you to my blog) But all in all, I LOVE this car. It's so nice to be in a sporty CAR again after driving the truck for so long.



So yeah... lots of cars, all but one driven to death. Guess I'm pretty hard on used cars. =P
