Well, we rarely see car related thread in this forum, I guess mainly because peoples playing neopets are 18- but screw this, I like talking about car so I figured I should talk about the cars I had and what I'm looking for ATM. Bare with me, I ain't rich. I've been with my wife since I'm 16, left my parent's house at 17 and have 2 kids right now so you won't see any Merc, BMW or Lambo in here (At least, not for now). Anyway, quick list of my past cars. All the pics come from various website since I can't scan any of them right now. 1998 - 1999 I bought this car in 1998, 2 months before I get my license. Spent a HUGE 500$ for this piece of crap but eh!, I was atleast able to go see my GF myself. Yeah, I was driving this car with NO LICENSE. Bad bad tharoux B) This car was sent to the scrapyard after a cop stopped me cause the car was pretty much in bad shape (not my fault, a friend of mine dare me to do a jump with the car :lol: ) Watchout for your eyes, here's a picture of what the car looked like. This is a Toyota Tercel Anyway, shortly after, I bought a 1989 Nissan Pulsar for 2K$. First love. The car is pretty much the same size and weight as a Mazda MX-5 (also known as Miata). This car was a blast to drive and handling wise, can still kick ass. Sold it to one of my friend and he crashed it during the same year. The big + for this car was that it had T-Top so riding during our hot summer night @ 220KM/H was quite a trill. Year 2K *WARNING* What you're about to see might not be suitable for everyone. This car is an ugly piece of shit*Warning* During this year, I was actively searching for a car and a good deal showed up. I bought this "nice" Chevrolet Cavalier 1986 (!) for 100$. The car only had 38K km (not miles) on it and absolutely no rust at all. Bought it from my best friend's grand-mother. Only downside, the color: Brown. Real Brown. Interior too. But at this price, I didn't mind much. The fuel consumption was probably a bit more than a TANK altought the top speed was closer to a 85 yo man trying a speed run on his bicycle. Anyway, I sold the car for 500$ a year later. Year 2001-2005 By this time, I was working full time altought I was still studying but I figured out I could buy a better/newer car. Finally got my hand on a nice '96 Mazda 626 full equip. I was pimpin'. I'm still trying to understand why, but pretty much all drug dealers in my area were driving those cars. Maybe because they were good used car and pretty cheap compare to the price of a brand new 626. Total cost: 9K for a car that was selling almost 30K 5 years before. Loved this car but finally sold it because I was buying a brand new one. In 2005, my wife ask me to buy a car for her. Horrible mistake... She was in love with a brand new car, a cheap-econobox but beeing the good man I am, sold the comfy ride for a shitbox on 4 wheels. Ok, the car can get almost 60 MPG, had never broken down on me (touch wood) and is uberly cheap, still I'm hating it with passion. Commonly known as Toyota Yaris in europe, this is my toyota echo, bought new for 14K. Notice the unpainted bumper. That's stock. They figure out that it was an excellent idea for those driving and parking in town. I do agree with them, I can bump everycar without doing a single scratch XD NOW ! Well, I'm fed up of this car so I'm currently shopping for one. Altought I don't have the bank account of some members here *cough*guess who*cough* :lol: , I'm looking for a 2007 or 2008 Acura TLS. Big car, too much power for a FWD, one of the BEST gearbox on a production car, stock brembo brakes, ultra comfortable ride. But manual one are quite rare. Hope to find one soon ! Maybe white, dunno yet. That's pretty much it ! If you're still reading, congrats ! :arf: Anyway, share your history with us, say anything you want, I don't mind... Only rule: it must be car related. Oh, you can comments on the car above too
I absolutely LOVE the last car!!! You have to get it in black, it wouldn't be as nice in white, I think ..
Wow! You've gone through a lot of cars geez. I've had my 1996 Honda Accord LX for about 5 years now and it almost never let me down, I've been in 5 accidents with it, killed the battery while in it (I was preoccupied doing something else...wait..what?) slid down the streets of Colorado in it (because I never heard of snow tires until now) even drove 600 miles down to Texas in it with literally no oil. My mom was thanking sweet baby jesus that I made it. I has no pictures of her atm but yea she's still in pretty good condition (mainly because the first few years before I stole it from my aunt it was sitting outside her house.....doing...nothing) Now I'm working on learning how to drive my BF's Frontier, it's a standard and I have everything down except first gear -_- (I'm a n00b) but once I learn his truck, I'll be giving the car back to my parents, I can't sell it coz of our history together. So I'll leave my parents to do whatever with it.
Flip; wow, 5 accidents? =o that's quite alot. I'm guessing nothing serious though? I have no car D: But I do drive my parents' almost everyday since they have two, and my father mostly drives his MC. It's a renault laguna this one in silver =P I also sometimes drive the other car because I love driving it in the city. It's much easier than the other one: It's a citroën c3, in this color xD I think it's so cute.. But yeah, none of them are mine oO Lol, I wouldn't be able to buy one, cars in Denmark cost like a house!!! :S
Oh nothing serious....for me lol. But there was this one woman in her minivan who changed lanes under the light and hit me and her bumper fell off. (Tried to sue me saying her kid was injured) even tho he came out and was standing there perfectly fine. and my dad attempted to fix it and hammered the dents out and spray painted it (the car was a maroon color and his spray paint was orange) but a few months later he went ahead and took it to a garage to get some body work done and a new paint job. Now it's "lip stick" red
