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...
