| '74 porsche 914 special edition, black with white racing stripes |
|
My first car ever. If you can shift this car smoothly you can drive anything. Spun out in a trail of sparks and almost went off a small cliff when the rear axle rust desiced to finish off the suspension. |
| '72 porsche 914, white |

My surf car, at speed with a longboard sticking out of the passenger seat the front of the car would raise a little...Sold to a friend that promised to take good care of her. Miss that little car. |
| '89? honda civic DX hatchback, burgandy |

Brakes whent out as I was approaching a intersection with a huge 6 wheel farming truck also heaed into the intersection. I had to hit the gass and barely made it in front of him, then slid to a stop on the side of the road using the emergency brake. Hitched a ride and when I got back someone had shot the car 3 times with a shotgun. I drove around with no windows through a rainy winter then sold the cursed beast to a guy that smelled funny. |
| '88 porsche 951 turbo, metallic graphite black |

Wicked. Simple as that. Bought it for 8k and put 15k into it. It was a custom monster running 22+ psi of boost (limiters were all off!). One day i was in the drive-thru at jackinthebox when it E X P L O D E D in a ball of fire. I made it out before it was engulfed in flames. Turns out the only part that was stock on the car failed, a simple fuel rail. That will teach me to leave anything original. That car was an adrenalin I-V. |
| '92? honda del sol, red... too red. |
|
This car was a hand-me-down from Mom, had about 90 hp. Worthless but fun cuz it had an electric rear window. Sold to finance the Ducati. |
| '89 ducati 900ss, blood red |
|
An italian harley in cafe-racer clothes. An absolute bass beat to life, it would set off car alarms from across the street, no kidding. Hibernating in a friends cave, er... garage. |
| '03 mustang mach 1, shadow grey metallic |

I like european cars. I hate mustangs. I really hate fords. But everytime I drive this avalanche of torque I get a huge smile on my face. |
