I custom welded a dual exhaust for it in college. ) '95 Ford Mustang GT ( I guess I like the 302 '03 Mitusubishi Outlander ( Much easier to haul bikes and gear than the 'stang ) If we want to include driven, the list would be quite a bit longer with all the various rental cars I've spent time in, plus friends cars, etc. |

| Champion 6285 Beautiful Sonoma County | Subject: RE: Cars you've owned and driven I don't know if I'll be able to remember them all, but here goes, in order: - 1982? Plymouth Reliant, or something like that (my mom's car when I learned to drive in 1985) - 1978 Ford LTD (my dad's - 1979 Mercury Zephyr (the car my dad bought me... in 1988) - 1982 Ford Escort Wagon (Smurf blue, with a cracked head, so it wouldn't go more than about 35 mhp, but I just loved it anyway) - 1991 Toyata Tercel (which I bought NEW, and then drove for 225,000+ miles - 2000 Toyota Celica GTS (which I also bought new, after I wrecked the Tercel - 1982 Honda Civic hatchback (which I bought as a car for my BF at the time to use, but took with me when I left, and continued to drive until a couple of months ago when if finally failed smog - 1992? Jeep Cherokee (Eric's car before the Rav) - 2007 Toyota Rav4 (Eric's car, which I love, but don't drive much) - 1995 Toyota Camry wagon (borrowing from a dear friend... it's a full-sized, v6 wagon that kicks azz but needs new brakes) - ??? I'm in the market for another car, although NOT a new car... probably a Honda or Toyota
There are countless other cars I've driven, but which didn't belong to me or the person I was living with. |

| Subject: RE: Cars you've owned and driven In the grand tradition of my dad's side of the family being from Michigan and working for Chrysler or Ford (except for him), I've driven nothing but American cars: 1991 Dodge Spirit (old company car my dad got me when I got my license) 1990 Dodge Spirit (grandmother's old car that I got when I moved to DC) 2006 Chrysler Sebring (current car - bought for me as a grad school graduation gift). I got to pick from a selection of cars then owned by Daimler/Chrysler (sadly, Mercedes was not in my dad's price range). I REALLY wanted a Mustang coupe, but didn't feel like paying that much for the insurance. My family has owned nothing but Fords or Chryslers/Dodges. We get a discount, so that's a big incentive. However, I know everyone hates American cars because they're not as well-made, but since I didn't pay for any of them, I can't really complain. And the Sebring hauls a lot of crap, so it's worked well for triathlon, actually. Edited by wurkit_gurl 2009-01-22 3:21 PM |
