Lets see....

1971 Audi Fox - no second gear and only 3 out of 4 pistons worked
1982 Mazda 626 Coupe - blew up the motor
1981 Honda Civic Wagon - neighbor ran into it and totalled it
1989 Toyota Corolla SR5 - survived to be traded in
1982 Suzuki GS450LZ - totalled in a near fatal crash
2002 Suzuki SV650 - still got it

2003 Subaru Impreza WRX Wagon - current biggest compulsion

That about does it for now.

First to Present

91 Ford Explorer
89 Mustang GT
92 Ford Taurus
91 S-10 Pickup
91 Ford Escort
93 Ford Probe GT
03 WRX Wagon

This is the first import I've owned. I may catch some flack for this but I think the WRX is a cross between the power of the stang, the handling of the Probe (the GT can really stick to the road) and the versitility of all the other cars I had. It's simply a pleasure to drive to work every morning

1981 Toyota Corona

1984 Chevy S-10 Blazer 4X4

1985 Isuzu Impulse Turbo

2000 Gary Fischer Tassajara Mountain Bike :D

2001 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS (white)

2002 Subaru Impreza WRX SportWagon (also white)

The Impulse broke down in 1999 and sat in my garage until a couple weeks ago when my girlfriend paid a wrecker $35 to take it away.

Same here. Look at the crap I was driving before I graduated in 1999, look what I've been driving since :)

you really wanna be 21 again?! I dont know about you but college is hell for me... sure I had fun partying, but school is just not worth it!!! Now I just dont wanna be in school anymore, but I dont know where I would go if I didnt go to school! (I had planned on opening a performance shop with a friend, but those plans fell through and I been kinda lost for the past year) I would give anything to know that my future will be secure... I was gonna give up getting my WRX to open my store... I dunno man... my life sucks right now worrying about my future. I hate insecurities.
I miss college. I wish I could go back. I want to learn more. I wish I had paid more attention in class. I wish I had tried harder. You hate insecurities? At least in school you know what's expected of you, and you have people to help you achieve those goals.

1991 VW Corrado

After engine rebuild (8.8:1 comp up from 8.0:1 and totalseal rings, etc.), stg 1 head work, stage 4 kit (62mm pulley), and rebuilt charger ran a 14.4 @ 100 for the first and only time at the track. It even had some heavy 17's on it too. Then it got totaled and bought the WRX. It was considered quick for a 1.8L SC'd Corrado.

Very nice selection of Detroit Muscle, Mountain WRX. :cool: The Mopars seem to be recurrent theme as well. I too had a Challenger, a '72 but only a 318. They sure were pretty cars though.

Still have the following:
