    1965 chevy van. Had the wrong rims on it and you had to get out and retighten the lugs every other day or the tires fell off. I paid $50.00 for it. Was a fun van to drive until the dash cought fire while driving down the road. Was coming back from the store with a 12 pack and had to explain to the officer that showed up that the beer had not been opened until the fire to put it out. Wasted 7 cans before it was out. :D

    First car: 98 Toyota Camry. Not worthy of a picture, but whatever! :):

    Pretty amusing story about this accident...:laugh:

    I am a big Camry fan though, so this is what I'm currently driving! She's an 09. :D

    1966 Chevy Caprice Custom Hardtop. Every luxury option that was offered by Chevrolet. Of course like most kids then, ended up with an 8track player, mag wheels and dual glass pack mufflers.

    1989 Honda Civic DX (no power anything). My parents bought it for my brother, it got handed down to me. After about a month of having it dad took it to work and got a ride home from someone else. I asked what happened to "my" car; well he got an offer on it and sold it that day. A week later I was upgraded to a 1989 Honda Civic LX (pwr windows/doors) which wasn't too bad.

    40+ MPG at normal speeds. The worst mileage i got as 32-33mpg between 100-110MPH (long trip on open interstates - i was dumber back then). 10 gallon tank could get me more than 400 miles.

    Only 92HP, but it handled like it was on rails.

    1979 Caprice Classic. Ran great for being almost as old as I was. Didnt really dig the fact it was baby blue but I could just about fit ALL my friends in there at once.

    1965 chevy impala 4 door. Light blue. 283 v-8

    Even have the original pioneer super tuner 8 track. Installed under dash of course as not to mess with that fine AM single speaker radio that came with it.

    Best 6 tail lights on a car ever. Too bad i could not keep em lit up at all times.
