So, as the title says, post up pics of your previous rides. I have quite a few, so have at it!!
First ever car, when i was 16:
2001 Honda Civic LX sedan, auto (don't have any pics of it, but this was it)

Ended up doing what any 16 year old does with a brand new car, wrecked it and then got a 2002 Civic EX coupe, then did what any 17yr old would do:
-Custom T25 turbo kit @ 6lbs
-Tanabe racing medallion exhaust
-Revo short shifter
-Tein springs
-wheels (forget what)



This was in the ago of time before AEM and Innovate made 2 1/16" wideband gauges. So they used giant stones with LCD screens on them:


The fuel system on the turbo kit was also funky. At the time, plug and play or splice in injectors w/ a piggyback was too much coin for a kid working in fast food. So i utilized a piggyback fuel system...... Aside from the stock injectors there was a fuel block between the throttle body and manifold that housed 2 auxillary 210cc injectors controlled by an "ICU" that I tuned by boost level + RPM with the GIANT innovate LM-1 wideband. Never dyno tuned, but she could get up and go for a stock motor d17a2 civic. 14.12 in the 1/4 mile on street tires.
I then traded in the civic after a while and got an 05 xB RS 2.0. I sold the civic because like any teenager with a turbo, i got a few tickets. Bought the xB because it was slow and i wanted to wait to get the tickets off my insurance. After i bought the xB i started doing little odds and ends to it, and started hanging out with a good group of people that liked the car show scene. So, i fell suit.
Mods: Too many to remember





Stepped up the I.C.E after a while as well:







After a while, a friend and I two toned it ourselves. Being the first car i had ever painted, it came out amazing!





At that time, the final project looked like this before i parted the car out and traded in:


Looking back, this was def the car i had the most fun with. So i ended up trading it for an 06 tC. I got the tC because i wanted to go back to my roots of boost. Boost came a bit later though.




After going through a couple of wheel changes and exhaust/intake changes, i finally went on to boost.


















After sometime with this setup i grew tired of front wheel drive, so i parted out and traded for an 03 S2000.





Did a few things to it:
-coilovers
-test pipe
-spoon exhaust
-aem intake
-4.57 ring/pinion
-ACT clutch
-staggered wheels


Grew tired of the S2000 and ran across an SRT-4 for a good price (boost bug). So next was an 05 SRT-4. This i kept for maybe a month? Boy did i hate this car. I had wanted one for a LONG time. And yet, it wasn't at all what i expected.


While i had the SRT-4 i wanted to get into bikes. Never rode one before so i picked up a ninja 250 for short term use to learn the basics:


Traded in the SRT-4 for an 07 chevy colorado. I had just bought an 07 ZZR-600 and wanted a truck to haul it around with.



A short time after this, i decided to join the army. Got tired of not knowing what i wanted to do with my life, so why not have someone tell me what to do! Haha.






For the first time ever, i have a job i love going to. Anyways, back on topic. This past april i went home to the states on leave and ran across a monster of a deal on a super super rare car.......couldn't pass it up:





So far, that's my story. Other's share!
