89 Honda Accord Coupe LXi ( bought in 97 with around 40000 miles, got T-boned in 99 with 75000 miles )
92 Honda Accord Sedan EX ( died due to crap mechanic using junkyard parts for repairs )
90 Honda Accord Sedan LX [ Mom's car, as replacement for my dead 92 ]
( had it for two months, hit a deer, totalled )
97 Toyota Camry California Special Edition [POS] ( oldest brother's car for the fact that I killed two Honda's in a two month period, more problems than worth. )
No more stuffing money into used hunks of a$$!
And finally...
My baby

eh .. no pictures, as I never really cared enough until I got the tC
83 Toyota Pickup, listed in profile though no pictures; My brother and I put some grunt time into it, and being a stupid teenager, didn't even try to take care of it. Ended up ceasing the motor. It not sits with my brother's 4 wheelers and dirt bikes. He's in the process of cutting the bed off and making a short trailer out of it lol.
92 Plymouth Laser RS-T; didn't do a damned thing to it. In fact, I only owned the car for about 3-4 months. The old man made me sell it because I couldn't pay my insurance. Secretly, I think he just didn't want me having a turbo anything. He was against me getting it from the beginning...if only he knew what I'd do to an n/a car 6 years later...
92 Chevy Cavalier RS; Added fog lights, replaced the whole stereo system with parts left over from the truck, added some more for a little extra "boom", removed some trim to clean it up a little, and even added some hip-cool ebay super white xenon head light bulds! Then it got broken into and I sprung a leak somewhere in the firewall. Basically just put gas in it and drove it for another 2 years. Quit taking care of it, let the uh ... something crack and leack coolant. Had that fixed, then something else started leaking coolant. Rather than figuring out what it was, traded it in
06 Scion tC; also in my profile, my super white tC. Everyone that associates me with Scions thinks of this car. Totalled it back in July. Insurance came through for me
07 Scion tC; BSP this time.

Started out with my hot 2 door 85 Buick Century! That car helped me pick up all the babes!
Then after that piece blew up on me, I upgraded to a 93 Jeep Cherokee Laredo! *Not much of an upgrade though
Then finally, the love of my life, My 2006 Scion tC.

1st 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix. No gauges worked, window would stay up, engine had a leak and blew.
2nd 1999 Pontiac Grand AM. Sold to my brother.
3rd 2005 Nissan 350z. She was my beauty. Insurance was getting to high and gas was getting expensive, so I traded her in.
4th 2007 Scion TC. No 350, but turbo soon.

Hello everyone, this seemed a good place to make my first post ...
Here's my first love, an 01 Maxima GXE automatic (that I modified mostly to look like an SE):
and it ended like this (The gunmetal Motegis were only on for 3 days when I totaled it didn't even get a picture of them on the car before the crash):
And after that I got a 04 Accord LX (5-speed. Nice, but boring.)
Sold that, and found the best car I ever owned (but unfortunately sold because the woman I was with at the time couldn't drive it. Stupid, stupid, stupid me). My loaded 02 Maxima SE, 6-speed:
And the 06 Accord EX automatic I sold it for:
and of course, the first thing I did after the breakup was sell that and buy something that I actually wanted. My 2006 Scion tC, 5-speed. Only thing I added was a strut bar:
It's definitely a step down from the Maxima, but it's still a pretty cool car and handles a lot better. And clearly seems to be a lot of people on these forums, to boot.
Also, AgentRice - did you add the 97 grill to your 95 Maxima? Sharp looking. I used to hang out on Maxima.Org as Wasim521, were you on there?
