My cars in brief:
1. My parents didn't want me to buy a car, so they didn't help me with one. I didn't have the opportunity to work all of high school because I was overseas so money was tight. In comes .RJ!!! 1983 RX7 w/ 88k original. $1200 later, it was my first car that I bought against my parents' wishes towards the end of my freshman year. I knew nothing of the rotary, but I loved it.
Sold it because mommie thought it was dangerous.
2. Acura Integra GStunneR. I bought it after working a summer at Crapmax. Dad helped me out by tossing a WHOPPING 3.5Gs into it which I paid him back for by the end of the summer.
I spent all $2k that I had for maintenance in 2 months. Sold it for $4Gs more than I bought it for. Came out $1700 on top.
3. 1985 mARRR2. Got this car for free from a friend... but he couldn't produce the title, so I left it in a parking lot. Me and my "friend" no longer speak.
LOL
4. 1999 Honda Civic LX 4door baby blue. Mom and Dad caved and lent me their car for the end of my sophomore year. I had 0 priveledges with it. I paid all gas/maintenance/repairs/insurance (which had to go on their plan). There was no modification allowed. No racing allowed. No long trips allowed. (I know... wtf?!)
It was slow and I hit a deer with it.
After the drama, I decided it wasn't worth the effort.... so I kindly gave it back to them.
5. 1990 Mazda RX7 Turbo II. After having a long internal battle with myself, I decided on another rotary over an MR2 turbo. More practical, and easier to work on (albeit more frequently needed) I scoured the paper for any hint of them. Unsuccessful, I was saddened when the end of the summer rolled around, but ALAS! a 90 TII with 124k on the odo came in to crapmax and rolled to the back lot. Before it had even changed ownership officially... I had my purchase form in it. I bought the beast for $2000 square all included... and I plan to keep it for as long as the body is black.
