My last ride was a 1996 Geo Prizm (Toyota Corolla!). I just got the brakes running and the valve seal issue resolved. I'm keeping it around to learn how to do more complicated mechanical fixes and body work. It has alot of body damage so time to start learning some stuff.

I did not have a digital camera when I had the 1996
Ford Ranger XLT but found a similar looking picture on the internet. I also had the nice snap on cover on the bed, bed liner, window visors. Drove that sucker for 11 years with only regular maintance required. The truck never spent any time in the shop. It had over 100,000 miles on it after 11 years and was still running great when I traded it in on the Fit.
Cat :x

My first car, still have it too.
1989 Mazda Mx6 w/ 4WS.
Then I bought this as a daily to give the Mazda a rest. It was 100% stock. I added some touch.
89 Ford Probe GT. Basically the same car and just as mint as my Mazda.
I loved this car.
I got side swiped on the way to work one day. It wasnt BAD, insurance totaled the car out. Gave me $1100, I sold the car for $1200 with the damage. Nice little down payment on my Fit.
Shortly after getting the Fit I was given an 89 Grand Marq. 60k original miles, mint.
Sold that for like $1200.

My first car...
My first car was a 1995 Subaru Legacy Sedan with an EJ22. It was a reliable car and I drove it for over 8 years. I only had one minor accident in it when I was backed into by an 80 year old man on 9/11. He was way too old to be behind the wheel.
Last January I sold it to my coworker when it had 165k on it. He totaled it a month later. How is it that I can drive it for almost 9 years and he totals it after a month???

Learned to drive on a '94 Volvo Wagon, don't remember the model, but it was a Turbo and had AWD. I learned all about driving in snow and ice in this car.
Moved on to my grandmother's Buick Skylark after she died.
Drove my brother's '96 VW GTI while he was at college.
Drove Dad's '97 VW Passat VR6 when bro was home.
Took over my Dad's Nissan Frontier for a summer.
Drove my grandfather's old '54 Buick Special (Fireball V8) for a year, miss that car everyday.
Finally got MY first car, an '01 VW GTI 1.8T when it was pretty much brand new, had been a demo car at the dealer for 3,000 miles or so.
After 150,000 miles in that, I sold her and got my Fit three and a half months ago.

i think i already posted this before, but i had a 06 Civic EX AT before
the Fit. the civic was pretty nice for wat it was, but the AT just killed
the fun for the car.
AT's are just too boring for me, so got the FitS in 5MT.
never
looked back.
