Some of the more interesting ones:

1936 Ford 5-window coupe w. 327/325 engine, D/D for ten years.
1963 Studebaker Avanti, the original, w. a Paxton R4 supercharged 289 Stude engine. 9 MPG if you're lucky.
A 1965 and 1966 Saab Monte Carlo. 850cc's of rompin' 2-stroke. Used to ice race these things on Lake Champlain back in the day.
1980 CJ all-stainless "owner jeepney" built in the Philippines. My D/D there for about 15 years. 350 chevy, Muncie 4-speed, A/C. Lots of fun to drive.

This thread is extremely disappointing with no pictures :(

My first car was a 1996 Ford Contour SE. 2.5v6, 5sp manual. Not the coolest car but it was fun to drive. Never really did any modifications to it, other than a system (hey, it was cool back in high school :lol: )
Image

My second car was a 1992 Ford Taurus SHO. 3.0 Yamaha HO v6, 5sp manual. No mods to speak of on this car either. Body was kinda rough but man was it fast for a car it's size.
Image

The third vehicle is my ZJ.

I'm 26.
My first car was an 01 Hyundai Tiburon-It was awesome when I got it, but after the third wreck, I decided to try something a little higher off the ground and easier to see out of.
I "Upgraded" to a 99 Lexus RX300- Bought with a perfect body & without an engine, it became a long and expensive project for my dad and I before I left for college.
I temporarily moved into an 05 Honda Civic for about a year, and then BACK into the Lexus (tried to kill the damn thing, but it came back-- zombie car.)
I finally got rid of the zombie; I'm sure it's probably still living as an organ donor in various places around the South East.
I moved home to take over the family hardware store after I graduated, kind of a waste of a degree, but, you gotta do what you gotta do & the whole lemonade thing. I'm happy with a cooshy job, that's all that really matters.
I inherited 2 1997 Ford Ranger delivery trucks with the business, that are still rollin after a ton of abuse.
I'm now in an 07 Wrangler Sahara--trying to make it awesome so I never have to leave it. THIS is the reasons I joined the forum, to help me plan and make my Jeep better.
I still have the Civic. It's a great little spare car.
My fiancée has a 350Z convertable; very fun car to drive, pain in the butt to ride shotgun in.
Life is like a wall: if you're not happy, buy a can of paint and start fresh.
