Well this was a car my parents bought me when i was like 13 and said that i could drive it when i get older, but later sold it once we moved so i really didnt get to drive it much at all.
BMW Mini
Then my parents bought this from my grandparents cause of financial problems and was going to be giving it to me but it broke down and now currently sits in my step father's back yard.
ford F150 (same color and everything)
Then i got this when i got my DL and this was the car i owned untill 2 transmissions later. So i guess you can say this was my first car but tech the others were before it.. lol
92 hyundai sonata

Wow, an original mini would be so sweet. I'm kinda jealous of those beetles too.

In order:
86 Chevy S-10 2.8 v-6, 4-speed, 3.73 gears, heater.
^^Complete list of options, no a/c, and it came with an AM radio. was in the family from 92 up until 06, when my dumbass traded it for an NYG. Should have never done it
Then, 85 Cutlass. Thing sucks, and has lots of problems.
05 SXT. Which I want to get rid of
95 NYG, gone, lots of problems.
86 Ram 350 van, 15-passenger! Was amazing, like literally driving a tank, transmission problem, brakes, windshield, windshield wipers made me get rid of it.
98 Neon coupe, which I love.

1966 Volkswagen Karman Ghia. Black. 1300 cc engine. The third week I had it, the engine blew. #3 exhaust valve let go and put a hole in the piston and chewed up a head. ( Ya, so I over revved it, so what!

) It went back together with a 1776 cc kit, dual port heads, Bosch "Screamer" distributor, Empi header, aftermarket intake manifold, Holley "BugSpray carb, heavy duty gas charged shocks (a big deal in 1972, lol), and get this... radial tires, they were a big deal then too.
The car after that was the best car I ever owned... '69 Z28 with the DZ 302. I sold it when I went overseas, the new owner totaled it within a month *sob*.

Hand-me-down '79 mustang, 2.3l. Beat it to death, full throttle everywhere and still could make the corner because it was soooo slow. Sold to friend who blew it up.
'60 El Camino, jet black, 327 4-speed, 255/60/15's all four corners on mags. Even non-'car people' loved this car. Never made so many friends as driving this batmobile lookin thing around. Broke axle doing 65 around RH sweeper, wheel fell off, went for sad slow spin into embankment. Game-over.
'87 325 BMW 5spd, lt blue. God I loved that car, humiliated friends in 'faster' cars(after rim/tire upgrade). BMW's are no joke. Gutted by theives, totalled by insurance.
'89 325i atx, BBS kit(only one I've ever seen), dark grey. Viciously fast for an auto, or for any car really. Previous owner was even more abusive than me, should've kept looking for a 5-speed. Traded for '97 intrepid for wifey.
'65 falcon Ranchero, 300hp full-roller 5.0, c-4 auto, zero traction 195/6014's. Scary ride, sold to kid, probably now dead or in wheelchair.

1989 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer, auto. 4.3L V6 -- My parents gave it to me when my mom got her Buick. It blew up after an oil change. That thing was beat to hell... muffler had fallen off, door and frame were bent (I hit a pole in a gas station). Fun as hell though.
1995 Hyundai Excel, manual trans which I never got to drive after my mom got the Blazer... she broke it and we never fixed it after the 2nd time
1987 Chrysler Fifth Avenue -- Everyone loved that thing. I liked it, I guess... I just didn't like the gas mileage ( V8 )

My friend drove that into an embankment... a 30mph curve in a boat with bad brakes = accident.
1985 Mercury Grand Marquis station wagon -- Parents registered that for me after my friend wrecked the 5th Avenue. This car wasn't so bad, except the back door didn't close and exhaust fumes liked to hang out inside... and the power windows had issues... and the back doors eventually would not open from the inside. It was fun. It fit lots of people in it...
2004 Kia Rio, with a manual trans -- Cool little car, surprisingly... It was cute with color matched rims and whatnot. Got a few tickets in it (yes, in a Kia)... it got totaled on the freeway. I miss it...
and now...
2001 Plymouth Neon -- I <3 it

My first was a1987 Honda Prelude. Bought it in 02 for $1,250, wrecked it 7 hours later (blind hill and someone was stopped), repaired it and found out it had been wrecked 3 times before and finally sold it in 04 for $1,000 (to some kid who didn't even check the oil) after I bought the Neon.

*This is not my car, I borrowed this from cardomain. Mine looked similar but 3 different shades of red on the front clip and no tint.

94' Ford Explorer Sport (2DR)
Sold to buy equipment to pursue my music career. Equipment was later stolen. Go figure.

77' Olsmobile Regency 98
Put it through a minivan. Their trailer hitch put a small hole in the radiator. I went about 3 feet into the back of their car. I drove 20 minutes home, and they couldn't recognize their car. Gotta love 7k lb cars.

87' Ford Bronco II
Junk. I dumped way too much money into it, and ended up selling to the first illegal immigrant that could come up with a grand. I had 7k or so into it. It was pretty much new mechanically, but had some sort of problem I could never figure out that always left me stranded.

98' Buick Park Avenue
Steering rack stopped working, and I never liked the car. Near the end, I would have to plan my trips for 3 right turns instead of 1 left turn. Something adventurous about a car that will turn right but not left.
04' Dodge Neon SE
Well, it's pretty much a race car now. I've had her almost 3 years now. To think that when I bought it, I was just looking for something cheap to drive back and forth to work, and now I'm chasing 10s this year with it. hah
99' Dodge Neon R/T
Seeing as the fast car is always broken, and it always happens at the most inopportune times (Nothing like starting a clutch job at 11PM to get to work at 7 the next morning.) I had to get a DD. 176k miles now, I think. Doesn't run all that great, but when that motor dies, I guess I'll just have to build a 2.4 for it.
Next? Probably nothing for quite a while. If anything, I'd probably pick up another beater neon. Undoubtedly, there will be a time that both my current cars are broken at once. Maybe an aveo or something ghetto like that just for a warranty. Although that SRT4 Caliber would make a decent daily if I felt like paying a payment.
Pictures aren't my cars. Just pictures of similar cars for those that don't remember them.

My 1st car was a 1973 Dodge Charger.
It was a real piece of shit.

Other kids were out spending their money having fun, I was always spending money fixing my broke ass car.
I don't have a pic of the car saved on my computer, but here is another like mine:

91 cavalier 5spd fuel bowl injection. drove that thing till it had 156k on it. Came with no radia, no tach, and no passenger side mirror. Drove with the dash lights not working for a year. Also drove with the heat not working for a month from mid January to mid February. Only time I had to regularly scrape the inside of the winshield on a regular basis.
Then
89 Eagle Summit
01 Neon RT
04 ion redline
04 Srt-4 Red
and finally
04 SRT-4 Black

Well it was a 1968 VW Bug. It was a Autostick if you can believe it. It was my Dad's that was handed down to me when I got my drivers license back in 1979. Unfortunately they didn't have camera's back then..................... but really, I'll have to dig up an old photo in order to scan.
