^^^ Don't forget the bikes!! or do you just sell them?!
In highschool I bought a used ford festiva with my very own money, yay for responsibility.
Then I got my first true love a 1990 Mustang LX with a 302.
After dumping enough money to buy a nice car into it, the rear control arm decided it didn't like Mr. Chassis anymore and they split, on both sides, 1.5' in length.
Then I ran into a used '02 silverado(in 2003) that was completely loaded with an unbelievable price. Best truck ever.
Next car was a Honda Accord who I promptly sold to my brother who loves it. I hated it, gas isn't so expensive I need to torture myself driving that thing.
Next up Mazda RX-8.

1. '82 toyota corolla -- first car. 5-spd stick, total pos but hey, i bought it as a senior in high school, not mommy and daddy. good times.
2. '83 renault alliance -- threw a rod in this... doing 80... it had a 3 speed tranny... BANG! aluminum block + seized pistons = destroyed block... but damn it was fun!
3. '86 dodge ares -- yawn, it's a K-car...
4. '91 chevy corsica -- this vehicle taught me to hate american made cars forever. spent more in repairs than i did on the car itself. never buy an american car again...
5. '94 honda civic ex -- i ran this thing to death! put over 80k in one year on it. ended up selling it with over 220k on it. bought it with about 46k.
6. '03 tiburon GT -- first venture into tuning. Love this car. pushed it to 210whp 200tq N/A. Sounded like a beast too, not raspy at all. Aside from the clutch (and dyno tune), did all the work myself. Headers on a FWD car = no fun...
7. '05 Shinka RX8 -- what can i say, i found my wankle and wont ever let go!

My first car was a honda civic sedan that got me into the whole car scene. When I first got it as a gift from my parents in high school I didnt really like cars but as the years went on I got into modifying and the whole JDM movement. I ended up a moderator on jdmcivic.com back in 2002 because of this car...
My first round of mods, Genuine Mugen lip, Koni yellows, Ground Controls, 5zigen FN01R-C wheels.
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/Silver-Shooter/silver-shooter/800.jpg)
Then I ended up getting tired of the 5zigens and I picked up a set of old school enkei's from a friend...
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/Silver-Shooter/silver-shooter/SacState005.jpg)
Then the car sat for a really long time because I lost interest due to my latest purchase...
A 1999 Miata. This car was kind of an impulse buy. I loved this car but after 2 years of ownership(see claustrophobia) I needed something bigger so i bought an 8.
I kept with the enkei theme but I felt these were an upgrade. They're prob my favorite wheels ever and if I ever get a chance I will def rock these on another car in the future.

I have had,
A 1989 Honda Accord 5spd, with 98hp at the crank...
A 95 Jetta 2.slow, which ended up with a VR6 which bent a balance shaft going up a hill, bent every valve
Another 95 Jetta with over 5k of stereo equipment which I gave to a friend when I joined the military (hit a deer 6 months later)
and finally, My 05 velocity red GT 6spd
