Cars i have owned:
1987 Honda Accord EXi (with a mid-range interior, and base model brakes?)
1996 Honda Civic CX (my accord rotted, big surprise.. got this from a friend. Fun car. No options at all. Couldnt do it, so i got)
1988 Honda Accord EXi (I love it. Gonna make it look like an 87, but keep the awesome add-ons the 88 got in the facelift, like 10hp and 10 torque more..)
1986 Pontiac Parisienne Brougham. (Just got it. I decided i couldnt pass it up, and that i could use a project car to learn about the ancient art of the carburetor.)Cars i’d like to own… sooo many. I’ll just say that the 3rd gen accord is a surprisingly good little car.. and it’s worth every penny its 25 years of age are forcing me to sink into it.

87 VW GTI 16V: parents got rid of it when I went to college
95 Honda Civic DX: used to fill it up back in the mid-90’s for $8 and it would last 400 miles. Sold to a co-worker who just moved into the area.
99 Audi A4 1.8T: Fun car, still running strong and just hit 100K miles. Currently has a strange stuttering problem that I still need to figure out.Every car was/is a 5-speed.

1st – 1975 Buick Riviera: Inherited from grandmother (in early 90’s) with 60K on it. Loved the power of that 455 but could not drive that gas guzzler today (about 8mpg).
2nd – 1990 Ford Festiva: BEST CAR EVER!! If I could find another in good shape I would buy it!
Little Video I made of the Festiva in action!
3rd – 1989 Dodge Colt: Decent little car. Had at same time as Festiva. After 3mo it was totaled by a deer.
4th – 1995 Ford Taurus: Just recently sold it with 220K and still running strong… More rust than I wanted to deal with!
5th – 1997 Toyota Camry: Great car, my daily driver.
6th – 1997 Olds Bravada: Replaced the Taurus, wife’s daily driver.
