1992 Eagle Premier

Had a baseball bat propped to hold the driver seat up because I kept breaking the seat and it would lean way way back.

1984 Pontiac 6000. I loved it, it idled at around 26mph but it leaked oil like a bastard. The engine eventually seized, I was pretty bummed. If I'm ever loaded I'll buy one just to drive the beast around for kicks.

'89 Buick LeSabre. Balla.

1981 Mazda RX7

1990 Honda civic. Got it in 1999 from my aunt. It was my grandmas and she never drove it so it only had 30,000 miles on it. Pretty sweet. My sister has it now while I'm at school, but it still only has around 90,000 miles on it. It has gone downhill though, we now call it the shitic

1978 VW Dasher hatchback, gas engine, 4 spd manual in 1991. 78 hp, 0 - 60 in 13+ seconds, 1/4 mile in 19+.

(Not my pic, mine was dirt brown.)


At the time, it was the lowest value car listed in KBB. They obviously overvalued it as it was a complete money pit. Aftermarket AC that never really worked and it ate a radiator cooling fan fuse weekly (not by blowing it but by melting, yes melting, the fuse element on a 30A glass fuse). When the strut mounts rusted through the body I finally put it out to pasture.

Funny thing about it was that I was missing a hubcap set for one wheel (above pic has aftermarket wheels). I still saw some on the road and my friends swore we would find one to swipe and complete my set. I only saw one, once, with even a single hubcap and this specimen had FOUR! Too bad it circled the parking lot of the movie theater we were at and left, without parking.
