My first car was a 1996 acura integra rs, B18 5 speed. I bought it for $400 from my uncle, it had been sitting for about a month after he bought it. When I bought it, it had massive amounts of body damage the entire passenger side fender was crushed, the trunk was dented pretty badly, the rear bumper was cracked, the front bumper was missing the bottom lip, it had 175,000 miles, it leaked power steering fluid, and it wasn't starting. The day I bought it from him me and 3 of my friends went to check it out...(I bought it before seeing the car, I really needed a car) We brought jumper cables, and a battery charger. First we tried to jump it and that didn't work, so we charged the battery for a little while and after about 2 hours finally got it started. I loved the car already. When I had that car I knew it was fast but I didn't know anything about cars yet so I ended up selling it for $1200 to a guy who knew what he was doing with cars. He did a sort of type-r build. Here are 2 before shots and an after shot: I wish I had never sold this car. Knowing what I know now that car would have been such a good project car for me.

soooo what happened with the lexus? nice rides, btw i test drove 3 of the cars in your list, through the years.

I left for the military and it stayed at my mom's house. She let my cousin drive her car and he totaled it so she just drove mine and when I got out of bootcamp I told her she could have it if she took over the payments.

my first car was an 86 escort GT, and they are lovely kinda like little mustangs.
took an 8 year vacation for relieving dealers of their cars. (they used to leave the keys in little boxes on the windows)

starting in 2001
2001 Focus ZTS, carbon hood, fart can and a huge stereo with 2 12's and a 15. repoed when I expired my parole.

1990 accord EX 4D, auto, same stereo from focus, half a gallon of bondo on the rear fenders and 5zigen 17" fireballs in bronze with 215 45 series tires on them looked real wierd, also spray painted baby blue.

1991 civic Si, traded an 18" sub for it with no engine or seats, dad threw it away before i could fix it one winter and didn't tell me I went over to fix it and it was gone. (had it running, but the fender wire harness broke a lead and wouldn't start, would crank though)

1992 accord LX 4D, auto 17" enkies chrome was peeling, stranded me once got mad and sold it to a buddy for $200 and he is still driving it.

1993 accord EX 5spd. got from shady dealer with broken bridge bolt on front brakes, spent $600 rebuilding the entire brakes and got repoed cuz I couldnt make a payment (sat on blocks for 3 months, fixed and next day gone) repoed wit titanium muffler and stereo with 1507 alpine amp and two 12 inch solos that I will never see again, I probably lost about $3K on that deal.

1998 civic HX, dropped. was totalled by insurance co. when my meager system got jacked. this is the only picture I have, one of my worst days. I stripped it before they took it, the head, intake mani. and ECU are on my best friends crx Si right now (will run hopefully next weekend) and I still have the rims over at his house.

2005 chevy cobalt 4D 5 spd, hated everything about it except the awesome blue paint. got mad at it and shoved it in first gear at about 90MPH, display on dash read "engine lost power". repoed.

1993 infiniti G20 that blew up in a month.

1982 toyota sr5 "little yota" loved this little truck with all my fractured heart, had to sell it to cover bills and regret it to this day, kid I sold it to still calls me to let me know it's OK. (got my digi cam for my birthday that year)

1987 bmw 325E, sucked never ran right the whole time I had it, sold it to the junkyard for $200 and later found out it just had a teeny crack in the header in front of the O2 sensor that caused the miss.

1997 civic lx 4D 5spd. tokico illuminas, eibach springs, GReddy catback, 2000 front .

1994 del-sol Si, another one for the regret file, VIS hood, ugly bumper, high comp. pistons, stage two clutch/alum. flywheel, megan LCA's, funnest best car I ever had, wife wouldnt shut up about it's lack of a backseat and it's lowness, I lost that argument... and the car.

1992 civic CX "fugly duckling" LS swap (never again with an LS engine will I be)
I traded my del-sol for this POS and I will never forgive myself.

1990 crx SiR swap, my current excercise in frustration (picture with hood up for a reason)

That hatch looks like it has a 96+ front end.

-1970 datsun pickup-
wasn't running when purchased for $400, later lost its starter for a period (parked on hills) then at one point the reverse gear in the transmission dropped out of place leaving me with 1st and 2nd gear for a while. good thing i was driving it in a town of 1,500 people. top speed 40mph estimate (speedo no worky)
-79 mercury capri rs (5-o)- still sitting at my dad's. i learned how to drift with this
-88crxsi- totaled on a shitty vegas road at 4am (worst day of my life)
-e36m3 current- inherited from off balance step father, wrecked because i was trying to drift with too much power, now rebuilt for the 3rd time (i was number 3)
-90crxsi current- previous owner neglected completely but i am hoping i can save it

-great advert of the 79 capri rs, mine still has the 390mm wheels
YouTube - 1980 Mercury Capri RS commercial

they advertised this car with a 'touch of europe' ...what a load of bullshit. let's count the amount of cars in total that have metric wheels with now $250 per tire... a few ferraris, one bmw (i think early 80's 5 series) and the mercury capri. but i love the way the wheels look. every year an old boss of mine gets some guy in his tire shop buying new 220/55r390's for his bimmer. the 30% worn michelins come back to me for the capri

 

[charleskwinter]

dacheat, what a classic. my capri also had louvers and i loved them. i'll bet you wish you still had this car...

 

[hatukazi]

2K Si, bottom of the hood was electron blue. I have no idea why it was painted that crappy orange color though.

 

[charleskwinter]

i love the header on the toyo pick... i like the old trucks. by the way... what the fuck did you do to that e30? it reminds me of when i painted all my windshield wipers, center caps, and other things 'maroon' on my crx because i wanted to be different.

 

[K2e2vin]

1992 accord LX 4D, auto 17" enkies chrome was peeling, stranded me once got mad and sold it to a buddy for $200 and he is still driving it.

seriously, same gig with my accord. sold it to the neighbor for $300 when the water pump went (i'd told myself i was done at the next big malfunction). i coulda fixed/kept it and skipped the whole monte carlo experience. crap i'd be rich.

dacheat, what a classic. my capri also had louvers and i loved them. i'll bet you wish you still had this car...

yeah. like wtf 'was i thinking' wishing. i didn't know what i had, really. except i know i enjoyed the shit out of it. ahh, if i'd have been a little braver back then...i ended up selling it instead of fixing it up . i can't remember wtf kind of mileage i got with that thing. i remember feeding it $4 at a time, keeping a buck out for gum. if i'da known more i'da stuck it out, that's for sure.

crappy phone pic of my current driver...
