1994 Ford Tempo. Loved that car. Had well over 100,000 miles on it, and would've lasted longer, but the bottom was apparently rusted out and NH laws are stupid. Had to get a new car. Now have 2005 Hyundai Elantra and love that just as much as my Tempo.

Trapped in the catroom! ;o)
1989 Ford Escort GTO...I loved that little hoopdie car it was in great condition till some jerk smashed my windshield out when it was parked outside my house! I ended up getting a 98 Neon after that and proceded to total it after trying to drive home in the snow! :eek:( I loved that car..Im hoping BF can get my car fixed whenever PENNDOT decides to give my license back. Ive now got a 97 Cavalier that IMO looks like crap cuz its so beat up

My first car is what I drive now, a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 that I got as a wedding present in early 2007.


(yes, I got my license later in life...have only had it for 6 or 7yrs now)

A 1986 red Dodge Omni. I had (and still have) a thing for hatchbacks! It was a quirky little car - it would threaten to stall any time I drove it within the Boston city limits, but as soon as I got out of the city and into the suburbs it behaved very well.

1999 Pontiac Grand Am GT1. Green blue color. Loved it. Cried when I sold it, wouldn't have except that I was moving to Japan and still owed on the loan.

A bright orange 1974 Chevy Vega - bought in 1978 for $900.00. And yes, my entire family tried to talk me out of buying it. It lasted one year.

1970 Toyota Corolla Sprinter -- Dresden Blue, with black vinyl roof -- all the rage then. Sweet car.

A 1995 Hyundai Accent in bright green. My grandfather gave it to me as a present when I got accepted into grad school.

It just died a month or so ago and I'll admit it was hard to let it go.

1960 something Sunbeam Alpine...67-68 somewhere around there. And no it wasn't right hand drive, was one of a small handful that were shipped to Western Canada, got it used for cheap.

1991 Dodge Spirit. It got me from point A to B. But when the transmission went, I just decided to get a new one. It would cost more to replace the transmission than the car was worth so I upgraded to a car I started to build a couple years ago. It runs but there's still so much more I want to do with it.
