Mom's 02' Sentra GXE Bone Stock. POS even with the new looks. Air conditioner broke within one year. Acceleration is SLOW.

My first was a white 59 Mercury convertible with red interior and 292CI V8. Big, boatlike, and had a huge trunk to sneak lots of friends into the drive-in. Paid $50 for it in 1967.

I got my Soarer as my first car 
I've had her for two years without major problems, the most major mechanical problem being the radiator top tank. No plans to sell/trade yet, but hoping to save up enough for a secondhand 97~current GS300.

My 97 eclipse spyder gs-t
Only mods were a hacked air box, k&n, system, and some other cosmetic goodies/free mods
Took a turn to fast one day one pretty bald tires, lost it and slid right into a tree. I worked so hard for this car, saved up the $9k for it, wrecked it a little over a year later, and sold it for only $5000.
But all is well now because i have my SC.

After HS with the help of my parents, i purchased an integra GSR. That car went on to the cover of superstreet. I sold it soon after. I then bought a 91 MR2 turbo, modded that one like crazy and also picked up an 86 corolla GTS coupe for a daily driver. I ended up blowing up that MR2 and I picked up a 93 MR2 turbo. I eventually sold both cars and picked up an 96 accord as part of a trade. I got rid of the accord and now I currently drive a 95 SC300.

Anyway, first car, 1984 Mazda GLC (LX!!
). I paid $750 for it, 130,000 miles on it, ran fine, smoked constantly, 5-spd, drove it until the clutch went out, then it wasn't worth fixing it.Second car was 1993 MR2 NA, kept it until 6 mo. ago, then bought my Lex.
I'm still planning on getting an MR2 Turbo as a weekend car, preferably a 93+ Red with tan leather interior
