This car was my first ride.


Had a computer in it that sounded like KITT from knight rider but it had a short and would say random stuff at the most in opportune time. One time I had this chick out at the lakefront and just as I'm about to close the deal it says "your electrical system is malfunctioning." Ruined my shot but about a minute later the cops rolled up and shined the flashlight in the window. Maybe it did know what was up after all. Man, I miss that car.

1976 Toyota Corolla - bought new, drove it 12 years, sold it with 141,000 miles on it...water pump, couple of tune-ups, tires, and brakes. Was a great car for that time in my life...cheap and dependable.

A badass '96 impala SS that I took ridiculous care of and souped it up a bit. I can post pics later if anyone GAS, which I'm quite certain nobody does.

I got it in late 2001 and sold it in summer of 2005.

Early '90s Ford Tempo... inherited from my Grandpa when he passed away, I was only 13 at the time, but I was the oldest grandkid on that side so it waited for me. I drove it from when I got my license until first semester at LSU. My parents had always said if any of us got a full ride they'd buy us a car, and I did, so they did. My sister ended up getting the Tempo and driving it for quite a while, until probably the mid 2000s.

1982 Honda Prelude. Got it for $2,400 in 1988 with 113,000 on the clock. Sold it years later with 175,000+ on it. The girl who bought it drove it for years and sold it for more than she bought it from me for.

I'ts like this one with different rims.

1974 Chevelle. Hell of a car. Drove it for five years before selling to a neighbor for his 16 year old son. It was totalled within a month... I regret selling it!

95 or 96 Toyota Tacoma. Had it until early 2004. Had some great memories in my first truck: mud riding, tailgate parties, road head, sex in the extra cab.

Glory days man, I tell ya!

In 2000 my dad gave me his 91 s10 that he bought brand new.

I drove it for 2 years before the motor finally gave out. We dropped a v8 into it and I had a bad arse truck my senior year.

Best memories were putting arse whooping on Honda boys . I wish I still had it.

I ended up selling it.

I received a 87 Jeep Cherokee in 2001 and totaled it 3 days after my 16th birthday.
