Car history- what is yours?

Raeshlavik · 04-08-2017, 05:41 PM

First car: 1977 Chrysler New Yorker

Took that the day I bought it, at the tender age of 16...

1989 Chrysler LeBaron (brand new in '88 - Traded in the New Yorker on it... I was in the Navy and stupid. Sold it for a huge loss just to be rid of the thing when I got out.)

Following this I got into small race cars:

1972 X 1/9
1973 914
1972 240Z
1977 280Z
1981 Lotus Esprit turbo
1988 300zx

(see a trend here?)

Eventually I moved to Virginia in the late 90's and the dotcom happened, and things got a little crazy...

1966 Mustang street rod (I thought I wanted an American Classic, I was wrong - sold it two years later)
1994 F350 dually 4-door (used to move my 28' Scarab around)
1998 300zx TT

Eventually the bubble burst and I moved back to Colorado...

2006 PT Cruiser GT (Always been a Chrysler guy, so this was inevitable...)
2010 Jeep JK Rubicon (Keeping it in the family; nice trade-in value on the PT)
2012 Chrysler 300 SRT (Still in the family for the trade-in. Another land yacht - I thought I'd learned my lesson but I guess not.)
2014 Fiat 500 Abarth (Still in the family, though estranged... The cost difference between this and the SRT 300 as a trade-in actually made me some money. Still have this.)
2016 370Z (still have. I finally got out of the Chrysler Cycle.)

The best of the lot? Hard to say... A toss up between the 914 (raw driving fun in Bermuda shorts) and the 370Z (raw driving fun in business casual)

Beginning in late teens to today...

1. 1981 Dodge Diplomat - retired police cruiser (no interior door handles in back, no glove box as this is where the police radio had been).

2. 1979 Pontiac Firebird Esprit - when the crankshaft broke in the original (rebuilt) 301 V8, I dropped in a 400 (6.6 ltr) from a '77 Grand AM pulled out of a junkyard. An utter piece of shit in terms of reliability, but I loved the damn thing. Had more torque than power, and was a sideways driving, rubber destroying beast.

3. 1987 Toyota Celica GT - Sublime. A joy to drive. Very fun car, and my first fuel injected car. Made weaning off the V8 surprisingly easy. As an added bonus, it started every morning and never left me stranded or tried to kill me, which its predecessor did... routinely.

4. 1993 Toyota Celica GT - A nice ride, but pretty dull. Smoked a bit, otherwise, a fine car. Didn't like it as much as its older brother, tho'.

5. 2000 Toyota Celica GT-S - Beautiful looking and handling car. Really fucking slow, tho'. Eventually I added an overdriven roots blower, a custom A2W intercooler, and methanol injection. It was only a bit slower than the Z, astoundingly. Still, I don't recommend anyone make their project car their only car... after a while, it had to go. I learned how to tune on this car.

6. 2010 Nissan 370Z Base+Sport - A dream car for me! Faster than my project car and also brand new. My first new car. Wrecked it...

7. 2011 Nissan 370Z Touring+Sport - replaced the wrecked car with another Z. Love it. Nearly paid off...

8(?). Planning on a 2015-2016 Alfa Romeo 4C for my next car, quite possibly before the year is out. I'll keep ya posted...
