Bought in 1983 with money I saved from 2 paper routes: 1973 Dodge Duster with a slant 6

I wanted a blue 1969 Charger 440 but could not afford it.

1993 Nissan Maxima.

It had automatic seatbelts and was pretty quick for the time. This I believe is also when Nissan coined the "4DSC (4 door sports car)" concept. This is also when Nissan was building good, fun to drive cars.

Eventually I blew the transmission just by driving it too hard.

1981 Ford Escort Pony (GT interior throughout) couple 5MT. Wrecked it and bought a 1981 AMC General Mail Jeep 850.00 wrecked into a tree after hitting black ice in MI Winters. 1990 Pontiac 6000 Beige with Alpine CD Deck and no hubcaps. My pride and joy to own was a 1993 Acura Integra GS-R (AEM Intake, Magnaflow exhaust, BFG a bit wider then OEM) handled like on rails!

My old 1988 Celica All-Trac Turbo circa 2003 or so.

Rally homologation special and ultimately way too cool for me as a first car. I managed to cover all my bases though and both over AND understeer it into ditches on separate occasions.

2.0L turbocharged inline-4 with 190 hp and AWD isn't really anything to write home about by today's standards, but in the early 2000's it was near WRX performance at a sub $3K price point.

I had two.

1984 AMC Eagle
1979 Datsun 280ZX

The Eagle was a beater but would go through just about anything.
The Datsun was mint, but motor went due to faulty oil pump.
