First vehicle that was mine:

Year: 1987
Make: Mazda
Model B2200
Color: faded grey

Best: it was a truck, manual, and it could beat the hell out of it and no one cared. and it was paid for. the smoke show when i started it was cool too.

Worst: Smoke Show. Faded paint, rust, it was an 85 hp 4 cylinder, but still managed to get only 14 mpg. years of neglect showed up badly on that thing, but it still ran good when we gave it away at 160k miles. my dad bought it new and only did regular maintanance, tires, and a clutch at 140k (before i drove).

First I bought:

Year: 1997
Make: Jeep
Model: Cherokee Sport
Color: dark green

best: 4.0, 4x4, it was mine, i did what i wanted, girls like jeeps (even if it is a station wagon), it never stranded me anywhere (only came close at hooters and that was a bad battery connection and a good place to get stranded).

worst: first car with power = multiple speeding tickets, despite never stranding me i dropped thousands fixing that stupid POS, sold it for less than half of what i bought it for.

and yes i want BOTH cars back.

in the order i owned them: 87 Mazda, 91 Honda Acccord, 97 Jeep Cherokee, 97 Toyota Avalon, 02 Jeep Grand Cherokee

1970 MUSTANG 351W faster than all get up This thing would do 110 in the quarter stock. A friend of mine was a care taker at a drag strip and we use to play around after hours with our cars . I bought it with only 34,000 miles on it and it had 140,000 when I finaly parked it. Sold it a few years later. Biggest mistake I ever Made

Year: 1977
Make: Datsun
Model: B210 2dr
Color: Brown w/rust and primered fender.

Best: I paid $50 for it (in 1987) it only had 60k original miles and ran good.

Worst: Despite the low miles it had a VERY hard life and was pretty well thrashed, every square inch had a dent, windshield was shattered, one headlight was held in with bailing wire , and the turn signals never worked.

I bought it off a friend of mine that was in his early 30s and had done some serious partying while he owned it, he said it was 3 years old and in perfect shape when he had bought it. I drove it for about 4 months and got a couple warnings for the windshield, and then it need a new battery which was almost as much as what I had into it. I traded it to a kid at school for a car stereo (cassette!) and went on to my next beater.

First car:
Make: Mazda
Model : RX-7
Year : 80
Color : Silver
Best Thing: Chicks in high school loved it, and it was a great weekend get away car with a girl.
Worst Thing: Previous owner put a cheap paint job on it, that in a few years started to look like primer! It later started to develop a random vapor locking problem, so I sold it to some drunk frat college guys one night (with full disclosure).

First car purchased:
Make: Mazda
Model : RX-7 GSL-SE
Year : 84
Color : White
Best Thing: It had all the options, and was a super fun car for driving through the Rockies. It was in '94 (when I bought it), I was following two brand new Corvettes as they raced each other down The Big Thompson Canyon from Estse Park to Loveland, CO. As best as they tried to lose me, they couldn't shake me (which was not too bad for a 10 year old RX-7!).
Worst Thing: When I got married I had to sell it (it still ran like a champ at 179,000 miles). I sold it to a very good and single friend who promised me that he was going to restore it. Today it is still sitting in his dad's garage in New Jersey as I left it.

those things are tanks. my dad had an 81 (i think) he sold it to my grandpa for a dollar in the late 80's i guess. it was rusted to hell but ran great. when my grandpa gave it away it had 145k miles on it and was still on the original clutch. and that was with me using it as my personal "rally car" in my grandparents fields from the time i was 12. i beat the hell out of that thing, im pretty sure the only reason my grandparents kept it was because i enjoyed driving it around the fields.
