I came from a 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX wagon w/ around 305hp/295tq at the crank. Sold it to orginally buy a built 99 2.5 RS impreza that had been turbo'ed but the sale price of that vs actual worth no one wanted to finance the rest...so did some car hunting and had always like xB's and wanted a white Impreza wagon, so found a used white xB w/ super low miles for great price, manual, locally. So here I am

1988 Nissan 300ZX Turbo. My friends NA 1988 Toyota MR2 on the left. I miss the feeling of T-Tops . I'm definitely getting another one once I graduate.

CF hood, jdm blackhoused headlights & sidemarkers, tein ss coilovers, fr and rr strut tower bars, h23 intake manifold, cai, header & exhaust, amber LED conversion w/integra type r clock and a bangin system to finish it off. I loved that car until it started getting 15+ year old car symptoms and I didnt want to invest the money to fix it. That thing handled like a beast tho.

I wish i was around for the time when accords were good sporty cars and civics had a double wishbone up front. Honda cadillaced the ____ out of their lineup.

Sold the m3 to make room for the XB...


but then got the Mini to replace the m3. XB is still nice for what it is. As a daily driver/commuter, it is a very nice car IMO.

My xB replaced a 2005 Monte Carlo SS Supercharged. Ran 14.4 @ 96 in the 1/4. Fun car, just needed something with better gas mileage and more utility...

Default My last two vehicles.

My first real custom ride. 1989 Amigo, one of the lowest in the state without airbags, or any radical suspension mods. Just mostly leaf springs and torsion bars, the old school minitruck way.


And then I went to this. A few slight custom items were added.


And the I got a family and now I have the Xb, which allows me to customize and have a family.

I came from a used '86 Camry. 1.8L 4 cyl, manual locks and windows, plain white. Didn't have a lot of power, but was decent on the mileage. I finally had to part with it after my mechanic said he couldn't get any engine mounts for it. One had cracked, which loaded the other 3. Got so bad that hard acceleration would pull the car to the right (never did that before). So, after 6 years with a total of 165,874 miles on the clock, Kidney cars took it away (but not before I cleaned the car and gave it one last good wash). Sniff, it was a good car!

I wanted to lower my payments plus the 2008 had fairly high mileage for the year.

'99 Passat, just got too expensive with repairs and the VW scene turned into a bunch of uber choads.
