post your car owning history

[DannyDisco]

1991 Rx-7 Turbo II: white, bought it for $1500 at auction with a blown apex seal and only 65k on the clock. It was my baby. Rebuilt the engine with a Racing Beat ported/polished set of casings, Turbonetics T3/T4 turbo, front mount intercooler, suspension,....... She died in a traffic accident in Tallahassee in 2002. Front end was literally run over by jacked up Z-71 with a Confederate flag rear window and about 40 southern bumperstickers and no license plate. Black dude jumped out of the truck, he stole it about 15 minutes before he hit me. I'd have killed him if the front door would've opened before the cop behind me grabbed him. All the pictures of the car (I had maybe 10 total) were in my mother's storage shed when Hurricane Charlie hit and sat in about a foot of water for about a week. Memories only.

1992 Dodge Dakota LE 4x4, what paint was left was dark blue over grey: Stupid damned thing, inherited it so I had a car after above accident. While I had it it had 3, yes that's the number three, engines in it (5.2 V-8 cracked block, 3.9 V-6 put a rod through the block backing out of a parkings spot, and the 3.9 it was sold with) and I had to replace the auto trans, suspension bushings, steering rack, etc etc. Sold it for $1000 to help pay for:

2000 DII, epsom green, getting ready to pass 80k when I get back from vacation tomorrow. Bought with 72k last August 12th for $10300. Better be a damned good truck......
