Cool thread lol. Every car I've ever owned: 1973 Pontiac Trans Am, 455 HO 1972 Chevrolet Vega GT modded with 350 V8, TH 350 trans, 12-bolt Posi 1959 Chevrolet Apache stepside pickup, 6 cyl 1956 Ford Fairlane 2-dr Club Sedan modded with 428 Super Cobrajet, 10-bolt Toploader 4-speed 1972 Porsche 914, factory 4 cyl 1973 Lotus Europa Twincam Special 1979 Chevrolet Corvette 1973 Karmann Ghia Convertible, modded with 1835cc bus engine 1987 Volkswagen Jetta 1987 Acura Legend 1987 Porsche Carrera 1970 Porsche 914-6 GT, ran in Le Mans 1970 2001 Ford F-250 Lariat Crewcab with 7.3 liter Powerstroke Diesel 2009 Ford Shelby GT-500 Convertible 2012 Ford Focus 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302
The Fiero with the V-6 was actually a good strong car and pretty rare. Totally different creature than the 4-cyl version.
Wow, I didn't mean to kill this thread. My philosophy has been that life is simply too short to drive a Toyota Celica. I've always believed that a person could buy used and get an exciting car for the same or less money that they would spend on a new car. That changed for me as I got older and there were so many fast cars being produced so nowdays I just buy them new but I try to buy value, cars that don't massively depreciate. That list of cars I've owned represents discipline. What you don't see is all of the Ferrari and Lamborghini cars that I didn't purchase. When you look under the front-end of a Ferrari you don't see a single Zerk fitting (grease nipple) which means the steering and suspension mechanisms aren't intended to be serviced or to last very long. Same with the Lamborghinis. Look under a Porsche and you see lots of Zerk fittings and the steering and suspension is designed to be serviced and to last forever. I've tried occasionally to drive an economy car but I nearly died from sheer dullness. In another decade or two we'll probably all be driving glorified golfcarts anyway. I hope this thread will revive and I would love to see what other members own, drive or simply worship in the privacy of their garage.
