    Why not it's Friday...

    1. My first, a '67 Cal-Style with Euro front discs, painted Porche Kelly green, dual 44's and lots of polish in the engine bay
    2. About my fifth or sixth car was an Audi 5000S. I took many high speed cruises to Phoenix with the sunroof open. A GREAT ride.
    3. My ultimate heartbreak - a classic '73 Bronco. Fully rebuilt by me - dual, extra capacity tanks, custom swing-away bumper/tire carrier, 5-point harnesses etc. Super reliable and very proficient off-road. I got hit by a repeat drunk at a stop light so hard that it tore my boxed frame apart. The officer knew the drunk by name. My Bronco was tough until its death - it plowed into the Volvo in front of me after the hit and managed to cram the entire rear trunk into the back seat. Poor lady got messed up....

    Not many

    Not many for me as I drive them until they explode:

    (From best to worst)

    93 Integra GS-R pretty much stock but was wrecked in an accident. I miss that car.

    92 Civic Si. Autocrossed it and loved the car. Sold it to a road racer from the Bay Area. Just too much money to race these days.

    02 Honda Accord SE. A nice sedan with EX trims at a DX price. Had to get rid of it since I lost my job for nearly a year.

    98 Honda Accord LX. Current sedan and still running with nearly 200K miles.

    93 Civic DX. Probably the worse car I have ever owned (it was used and stupid me didn't check for problems#-o). Everything fell apart except for the block. It finally cracked at 375K miles.

    Hmm, some of the fun cars I've had:

    1: Karmann Ghia - chromed out 1776 with dual carbs

    2: 67 Camaro - 383 stroker

    3: 69 Bronco - decent 289 in it - I wish I still had it.

    4: 69 Camaro - blown 350

    5: 78 Camaro - turbo'd V6 in it

    6: 79 Trans Am - Healthy 462 with a 4-speed, a great handling car and loads of fun to drive.


    I've had some other bugs and and cars, but those one's stand out without too much thinking.

    Freek - bet you wish you still had that GN don't ya'. I love that car.

    * 1990, bought a 1988 Honda Accord LX 4-door (5 speed, gold paint)
    * 1998, bought a 1998 Honda Civic DX Hatchback (5 speed, black paint)
    * 2004, bought a 2005 Acura RSX-S hatchback (6 speed, blue paint)

    Looks like I'm a Honda/Acura fanboi, eh? :D

    I'd like to become a BMW/Audi/Ferrari fanboi, you know, get myself a RS4, M3, and a F430. Too bad that's prohibitively expensive!

    I like cars and unlike FoShizzle, do not feel they are "ghey". Gas prices are totally "ghey" right now. He is right about one thing though, I am a total poseur.
    Here's the lineup:
    1. 1972 Ford Courier - turquoise with sea blue stripe on the side (great for doing donuts, bad for getting chicks)
    2. 1984 Dodge D50 4x4 - white (killed 2 clutches in under 50k miles, still bad for getting chicks)
    3. 1993 Toyota Pickup - white (owned for 14 years, paid $6k for it and sold for $3800, got chicks j/k)
    4. 1967 Bug - yellow (Cal Style, sold to X girlfriend, she trashed it, I never got paid)
    5. 2001 Honda Accord sedan - silver (manual trans, solid family car, good on gas, manual trans was bad in heavy traffic commute)
    6. 2001 4-Runner - silver (still own, good family car, can tow, not bad on gas)
    7. 1998 Civic EX - silver (manual, modified, loud, great gas mileage)
    8. 1965 Bug - Cherry red (still own, ground up restoration in progress, sleeping in my garage)
    9. 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX Wagon - silver (still own)
