My first car was a turbocharged '86 Chrysler LeBaron, a 4-door granny car with *****, LOL!
I loved that car, and boy could it scoot! Sold it when it started running on only 3 cylinders.
Second car was a '90 Dodge Daytona Shelby, Turbocharged and rare, one of 850 ever made. I loved that car too. I still have it, but transporting 2 kids is really hard when all you have are 2-door hatchbacks, and your husband won't give up his!

First one was a 95 Neon. Man, that sucked. But my second was a 96 Trans Am, that was a blast. And now my Blazer. Fave out of the two that I admit to.

First "car"- 1997 Chevy Venture which was a hand-me-down from the parentals. Still have it, but I like my blazer ALOT better, lol.

My first vehicle... a 1990 Mazda B2600i 4x4, single cab with a 5 speed... sold as an FWD truck... owned for 9 months, purchased in 2002.
My second vehicle, purchased in 2003, a 1993 Chevy Lumina Z34 "Offroad Special" had for 3 years
My third vehicle, 1985 S10, 2wd, extended cab 5 speed, 2.8L V6 (full throttle = about 1/4 of my Blazer throttle) lasted 1 year, traded in for $500 towards the Blazer, got to keep my stereo and headlights, and it leaked oil, needed a t-stat, and first gear was a 50/50 chance of kicking itself out...

My 4th vehicle (and FIRST with cupholders) is my Blazer... Officially mine on Jan 8, 2007... Well, the bank still owns it, but still...

1978 Ford LTD Station Wagon. Emerald Green, didn't have that stupid wood on it thankfully. My dad had dropped a 400+cubic inch motor into it.. and it ran great. Kinda like this but no paneling and not those rims.... but it was 18 feet long and was 2 and 1/2 tons. BIG sucker!! hahaha...





After that I had a 1989 Ford Taurus, a 1996 Chrysler Sebring, a 1985 Toyota Celica (5 speed manual), a 1994 Saturn SC2 (5 speed manual), 1988 Trans Am and now my 2000 Blazer.

I am not 100% sure on the year of the car now, I think it was an 84. Anyway a Subaru GL-10. That car did 0-60 in about a week. Then a step up to a 86 Corolla Hatchback. Next was a 87 Supra Turbo. Then a 92 Acura Legend 2 dr coupe (this was a 5spd which was really rare). Next was my favorite, a 2001 Audi S4 twin turbo. Then life happened and it all went downhill. Next was a 95 Geo Prism. Slight difference in power going from the S4 to this. Then a 91 Eagle Talon TSi, a total POS. Next a 93 Chevy Astro AWD, and I actually really like this van. Next is my 99 Blazer, and most recently a 93 Ford E350. I still have the last 4 vehicles.
