The car I totaled a little over a month ago:




Yeah, you could call me a reformed ricer. I do miss the interior and gas mileage though...

First ever was a 1992 Camaro RS that i bought when i was 16. Had the 6 popper 3.1 v6. Slow as hell, but a fun little car, had one hell of a bondo-job too. Year later, saved up $$$$ and bought a 1992 Z28, 25th anniversary edition, worked that motor to the max. Ran 11.00 flat all motor, the last time i ran it. Sold that (been kicking myself in the a$$ ever since) to buy a brand new 2002 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD Loaded, but like an idiot, i bought the Vortec Gas motor (what a slug). Biggest waste of money in my life. About a year after buying the truck, i bought a used 1996 eldorado ETC, white on white, just like the previous one on this thread.

2 years later, Girlfriend/Fiance became pregnant, so i sold the pickup to partially put a down payment on the house. After that i got a 1996 or 1997 BMW M3 4 door that was wrecked. Bought it for $500. Fixed it up and loved it. Sold the caddy to buy a 1997 Kawasaki Ninja 600. Didn't like the bike very much, sold it and bought another eldorado ETC (which i still have, for sale BTW). after buying the caddy, 2 weeks later my e36 (m3) got stolen in Newark NJ on Frelinhuysen ave. So then i bought the XJ as a commuter to work and back cuz my job at the time was 60 miles each way.

This all sounds like BS (now that i read it), but it's all true.

This is my daily driver, an '05 Honda Civic EX Special Edition coupe. Just rolled over 30k miles on it.


This is a bad picture, but the most recent. Someone slashed my FR tire. Awesome. I've since replaced all around. '95 Ford Probe SE, my fair weather beater (As in, in fair weather, I can work on it to keep it running.)


And my summer toy, a 2006 Yamaha YZF600R. Vandalized four times now to the tune of roughly $3800 total, thank you insurance. After the last one, I just bondo'd the plastic, sanded down rough bits elsewhere, and painted it regular gloss black.

My Jeep is just a driving-to-work vehicle for my fiancee at the moment, since I have a 125 mile round-trip commute every day, and she goes about six miles.

1st car was a 94 Ford Probe I totaled less then 2 weeks after getting my license. I then bought a 92 Toyota Paseo which I ran hard for 3 years. Then it was on to a 03 Hyundai Tiburon GT


I then traded it in for an 05 Dodge Neon SRT-4, here's how it currently sits. I still have it, but am putting it up for sale within a few weeks.




I also had for about a year a 00 TJ, just sold that this past April and have regretted it every time it snows this winter. Driving in snow w/ basically R-comps in the SRT is not much fun.


Now I'm picking up an XJ this coming Friday. Which will turn into the DD and ultimately mean the selling of the SRT

Well I sold my 93 5.0 coupe to payoff some bills and do some work to my 05 Wrangler. The car was my daily driver for many years but became to crazy to drive all the time. It was a 331stroker with a super t-76 Q trim turbo, AOD trans, full cromemoly cage and suspen, mini tubs and the list goes on and on. When I sold the car it made 724 RWHP on 698tq and had ran a 10.03 @141 MPH on Drag radials driving 45min to the track. As soon as the guy bought it bolted on slicks and ran a 9.44 @ 144mph. I street raced it for years and selling it is one of the biggest mistakes i've ever made. But Oh well Im build another one as we speak. Heres some pics of it.

The XJ was an addition, not a replacement. I bought it to keep the salt off my beloeved Intrepid during winter.

Here we go...
'72 Chevy Impala w/ a gutsy 350 (fit 8 people, smelled like Grandpa's pipe)
'70 VW Bug - 1600 mildly built - great for donuts, beat a Monti Carlo in a drag, out ran a clapped out early 70's TA in a race through the neighborhood due to it's handling (loved to mud in this thing) Love/hate relationship- no a Porsche, not a Jeep.
'78 Chevy Monza - hated this car, but wanted to tub it and put in a v8. It died first
'80 Subaru Brat 4x4 - no low range - fell apart at 75k miles - impossible to get a date while driving this...
'81 Datson 280ZX Turbo - lemon but got me many speeding tickets
'91 Isuzu Trooper - First real 4x4. had 32's, lift other goodies - love/hate relationship. Great truck, just not a Jeep.
'01 Dodge 1500 - love/hate again - loved the torque, interior, truck bed, hated the gas mileage, too big for the trail
'76 CJ-7 - Wonderful trail rig!! I'll really miss this when I sell it soon:

'08 Unlimited - Great potential, menolikypayment. Favorite part was the Fireball shift knob. Even with 2.5" BB and 32's, it looks scared next to the CJ!

'01 Cherokee - Love it so far but haven't gotten if off road.
