You're talking some $$$ for those RX7 mods! But your right, that would have been cool.

 

i still see my 1991 Chevy Corsica around town, the people that bought it from me 3 years ago never took off my bumper stickers LOL My 95 Galant is in the driveway. I'll keep it for EMG then when the tabs expire off to the crusher. I've only owned the 2 cars.

 

I only got my 1996 Volvo 850 GLT. Im working on my 2nd car to be an 850 T5-R. But dad said he will not co-sign for any thing with a turbo. He says that there to much trouble, even though his Dodge truck has a turbo, lol.

 

Still drivin the 91 745t (253000ms and is a champ)
Alsohave a 97 540i (WAY not much money. They are pieces of junk)
79 TransAm (just sittingcovered in the garage for 29years)
07 V70R (runs great)
99Z28 Camaro (Rytek Projektz 99 SEMA show car)

Hey Jackson, Sucks your dadwont let you get a turbo. The trouble is the speeding tickets you would get.

 

Lol, I would be on good behavior if he would let me.

 

Yeah...Right...good behavior!I have a hard time not pushing the pedal on the 745t, and if my dad ever saw me doing something stupid, I would loss my license.

 

Well... better behavior, lol.I like test my 850 every now and then. Only on straight roads with no one on them though. Almost every one in my city knows my car because of where my mom drove it so much. So I cant do much really, lol.

1991 GMC Sonoma: Bought and kept until February of 2007 and then traded for a 1972 Toyota Celica and given $100 on top of it)

1990 Toyota Celica GT: -Five speed, owned for four years, body was beat to hell and had minimal mods. Traded in on top of extra money and bought my 92 SC300.

1972 Toyota Celica ST: Received with $100 for my truck, barely driven. Encountered way too many problems last summer and parked it while working on it. Finally got around to fixing it a few weeks ago and decided to part it out because the dog house was way too rusty (proceeds bought my 850). Planning on buying another in a year or two.

1987 Toyota Tercel: Bought for $100 off a kid I went to school with who needed to pay a ticket. Drove it for a week or so through my fields by my house with a helmet on and then sold it for $500 on CraigsList.

1992 Lexus SC300: Needed a new car as my 90 Celica was visually ugly after accidents and other things and massive oil leak with way over 200k miles. Still own it and LOVE it.

1984 Mazda RX-7 GSL: Bought for $600 with intentions to flip but kept for a little while. Sold it for $850, who that kid in turn sold it for $100 and a shot gun this spring. I bought the car off the next owner and sold it again three days later.

1995 Volvo 850 GLT: Parted out my 72 Celica (still have most of the car) and bought the 850. Really liking it. No where close to the fun and class of my Lexus, but a great car nonetheless.

 

1993 Ford Exploder - wasn't told there was a radiator leak, blew a headgasket, don't know squat about Fords, parents sold it to the neighbours, who used it for mudding until we moved and I haven't seen it since.
1989 Volvo 240 GL - rear-ended at a red light by a guy doing 45. It now sits in the field outside my house, I take parts off of it as I need them. And I sell the parts as I can.
1989 Volvo 240 DL - current car.

 

1997 Ford F-150 XLT: Timing assembly literally blew up, had 205K
1997 Ford Escort: Ran good for a while then blew a rod at 174K
1999 Ford Escort ZX2 Sport: Still own it, grandma uses it as her daily driver for now, has 127K
1993 Volvo 850 Sedan: Still own it, runs great, has 325K

 

Here are mine, and I don't have a whole lot either!

1978 Chevy Chevette - Dad bought it for me when I turned 16 and paid $1000. Drove it for 6 months, and got tired of it stalling (automatic) at random speeds + 3 accidents later...
1986 Volvo 240 DL - Dad bought this one for me for about $7000 and I drove it until I was 26 (Dad kept/drove for5 more years, selling for about $2500)at which point I bought...
2000 Volvo S80 T-6 - Dad didn't buy this one, so no one to blame for my transmission repair that's going to cost me $4900 but myself (and GM!). :-(

So what should I buy next?

 

1980 Buick Regal limited coupe with the base 3.8 engine - my first car and a nightmare. It went through tons of parts and was a PITA to start when under 55 degrees outside cause the electic choke never worked right on it. I tried to drop a cheap engine in it but lost my motivation and lacked time so I gave it away to the city for some fund raiser.

1983 Cadillac Sedan Deville - had this my senior year in high school. Only the power antenna was the part that worked flawlessly on it. I bought it from a 70 yr old man for $500 in 1996. The interior was super clean but it was neglected and abused its whole life. It leaked a quart of oil per week, the a/c was dead, and the exhaust leaked. Toward the end the idle speed control went nuts. Once day when I put it in reverse the rpms shot up and the trans went clunk....I gave to to the Salvation Army.

1992 Acura Legend - got it for high school graduation. I still have it...almost a flawless car and never had major problems. It still has the factory fill R12 in the a/c system.

1991 Toyota Celica GT coupe - very significant car for me. It drove to my college graduation and first real job in this. Owned 10 years and sold to a guy in rural Iowa. We still keep in touch and he loves the car as much as I did.

1991 Toyota MR2 base - A total money pit. Bought it in college for $2200. I spent at least 3 times that on this thing. It was a mistake to buy but I learned a lot about car repair on it. Sold it to a high school kid for $1600.

1991 Toyota MR2 base #2 - bought from a dental student that needed to pay bills. Bone stock and mint. I sold it to my sister for $3200...paid $5K for it.

1992 Nissan 240SX fastback - got it before the drift crazy so it was cheap at 4 grand. Put a new a/c compressor and clutch in it 4 months before a teenager ran a stop sign and it got totalled. Insurance screwed me on the settlement.

1994 Mitsubishi 3000GT SL - got it when shopping for a repalcement 240SX. Spent over 7 grand in 10 years to maintain properly and restore small things. Still have it.

1973 VW Bug - my family had one when I was a kid so I got this as a toy. 32K miles on it and had 1 owner since new. I drive it a few hundred miles a year.

1998 Lexus SC300 - I drooled over these cars when I was a kid in middle school. Found one on craigslist that was black with factory chrome wheels (best look) so I went to see it. The price was right and all service was done so I bought it.

Next car?

Maybe a 99 S70 I will get for free from a friend who had probably blown the head gasket.

 

My sig.

 

I didn't had any idea. Thanks for such beautiful information. from do you get all these stuff.

 

1988 (2 yrs) Plymouth Sundance: Sold it & was contacted by the new owners brother who wanted me to pay $350 for something he had fixed at the dealer since it wouldn't pass inspection. I told him we could undo the deal or I could have it repaired at the dealer where I worked - he had already goten scammed out of $350 so he was SOL.

1992 Acura Integra (2.5 yrs): I was 18 so I tinted the windows, got rims & a big stereo. Some kid who just tunred 18 bought it and got everything stolen out of it one month later....

1998 Grand Cherokee (3 yrs): A drunk idiot did 90mph into the back of it while it was parked...... in front of my buddys tow yard!!!! We towed it 50 feet before the junkyard picked it up.

1999BMW 328i: Sold it after 3.5 yrs of ownership. A friend of mine does paintwork and painted the wheels gunmetal. The new owner lives in the same town as my buddy, he told me he sees it all the time and just the other day he pulled up next to the kid at a red light and went "hey - i painted those wheels".

Still have:

2001 V70 - I want to put at least $250K on this car before i get rid of it.
2004 BMW 330CI.

 

Wouldn't exactly say it was my first car or the one I drove for I was only in the 2nd grade at the time. It was a 1986 Volvo 740 turbo wagon in marron w/ split tan leather and fabric interior. Car was in a bit of a sad shape but not as bad as most 740s out there that I've seen so far. It had a very bad oil leak, one of the rims were bent with the center cap missing, headliner sagging, stains on the carpet, crack leather and dash, bubbling and faking paint on the tail gate, football size dent in the left fender, and most worst of all was that the inner fender where the battery rested was rusted through. My uncle was driving it once and it just fell right through! Had a piece of sheet metal riveted in place to fix the hole. My uncle only gave that car to me b/c he had move and no longer need it for it sat for 4 yrs since he left. I was quite happy to get it for it was one of my favorite cars, but I only had it for a month b/c my parents hated the car for it was a bit of a junk and I can't drive or fix it b/c I was still a kid. So it was sold to my other uncle's brother's son to transport goods for the resturant he works. Thought it was a good idea until he owned it and later sold it to somebody else. That was the last I heard from it. Still to this day I still remember the roar of that powerful engine when it starts and that funky manual handle to open the sunroof back in the early 2000's.

PS Does anyone knows if the top dash that is same color as the rest of the interior a rare one? Most 740's I've seen so far had a black top half of the dash.
