Didn't take any photos because I hated it.

1985 Chevy Celebrity
2.8L
silver
it did have all power options...only good thing about the car

What I did to it...
*TRIED and FAILED to hit 75 MPH (speedo went to 80)
*put on a Thrush turbo muffler (sounded nice actually)
*hacksawed the woodgrain to get it off while doing my first-ever stereo install (Jensen!)
*blew it up, it popped the serp belt that flew around and took out all of the other belts and turned the car into a sauna inside.
*towed it home
*fixed it
*sold it for $700
bought another car. :D

It was a 1988 Chevy Caviler....

What did I do to it....well put a cd player it...

Wrecked ALOT...

Blew head gasket...had the head shaved...and rigged to work. If you went over 65mph it would blow up again. I then sold it to someone that didn't know shit and I got screwed cause I bought a POS from a family member...I f someone just to get f'ed...

Not a pic of my car, but it was just like it. JVC HU, 1-10" Sony xplod w/ scosche amp (stolen) Cut stock shifter just like I did in the zx2, oh and it had a black primer hood, lol.

I loved that car. Beautiful blue, and you couldn't dent it if you tried.

My first was an 84 Buick Riviera. FWD with a 307. It was worn out. I ended up catching the motor on fire after I had over heated it. Then I pulled a Tommy Boy with the driver door on a tree while the motor was on fire. Was never realy worth anything.

Man I loved this truck. Started to work on cars at the age of 14. With this truck it was a 3 speed on the tree manual. For the engine it was a straight 6 lol. For some reason to this day I still miss it for giving it up for a 100 dollars. Something in the engine blew at the time..which now i know is the intake manifold gasket. Those were the good old days.

My first car was a 91 Escort GT turbo. Black, black tinted windows, black wheels, lights were sprayed with something to make them look black.

Went to go pick up the car since my parents had bought it for me- opened the door, looked in the floor and said "WTF, why does it have 3 pedals?!" That was some fun times. It ended up totaled.

And that was like 11 cars ago or something like that. First car I bought myself was a 93 Probe GT turbo. Bright red. Huge body kit, huge wheels, huge wing and more neon than Vegas.

Pulled out infront of a Grand Am back in Oct 06. When I got it home I gutted it and flipped it on its roof in the back yard screwing around. It was totaled anyhow LOL.

Then the junk yard came and hooked the winch up to the hook where the trunk lid latches. Easy to say the 1/4 panels buckeled in some as that hook was screaming for mercy.

I don't have any pics but I had a 92 cougar and just put in pioneer 6 by 8 speakers in it and a pioneer head unit. My mom bought it new then my dad drove it then my sister drove it then my dad again then me. By the time I got it it had about 180,000 on it and by the time I got rid of it it had lost a cylinder. That thing did 0-60 in 30 seconds if I was lucky. :rolleyes:

My beater... '92 Ford Tempo. Came with just about all the body damage seen when I bought it except that I added the mismatched fender a few months ago after a deer took out my other one... It was repainted on the right side most likely was in an accident so that side actually still has a clear coat... When I bought this for $500 I actually wanted to get a late 90's Escort 4 door and almost got one, but my dad didn't want me to get a black car (Texas heat...) So I could get this car and save a bunch of money over the Escort, or save more money for an Escort... I went with this car. I can't say I regret it. It's been a good car overall. Get a dent in the body and it's really not even noticeable over all the other dents that are already in it...lol. Hopefully only a couple more months of this car before I get a Zx2 though!

My first ride was your mom :pissednana:

Acutally I still have my first vehicle. It is on the trailer in this pic.
http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/650882/fullsize/new-camera-268.jpg

It started out stock height with wagon wheels.
First mods were a RoadMaster Cassette player, a CB, and mud tires.

Then a homemade front bumper/grill gaurd with fog lights and rear bumper

Then it got a a set of chrome 15x8 wheels with 31x10.5 mud tires

Then went on a new exhaust system. 12" glasspacks and 3inch exhaust

Then a 4" lift kit.

Sold the 31" tires in favor of some 36" super swampers

Cut rear fender rust off.

Started adding new floorboards and body lift.

It now sits on a trailer in my driveway as of Friday. :eyes:

well, I learned to drive on one of these, with a blown clutch, 180k, and a hell of a misfire.
It was my mom's car.
http://images.automotive.com/reviews/images/escwcar.gif

And My first car, that I payed for, I bought off my dad for $50. Had that for 3 years. Tons of mods, fast as fuck for a J, lowered, your typical engine mods, plus a valve job, intake p&p, full exhaust, then it had a a complete suspension set-up. Ground control coilovers, KYB Shocks, strut bars F&R, Sway bars F&R, brakes were screwed around with too. And there was a b&m short throw, Clutch master's stage 1, pass seat and rear seat removed, and it had a full system.

It was my baby. Then the A/C compressor went, and was chewing up serp belts every day, but I had just lost my job, so I couldn't afford to get a bypass get made, cause at that time, there wasn't one available to my knowledge for the 2.4L twin cam. And then, someone backed into it, in a parking lot, completely crushed in the rear quarter panel, and the driver door. Had to get in it on the passenger side, and that's when I said F-It.

Never shoulda sold that car. just shoulda fixed it. 150k on the clock, and still freeking kicking. Never had a major problem with it. I loved it. It was my baby.

Here's a picture of it when it still looked good. Before it was hit.

1994 Ford Tempo w/2.4L

I had it for a year, the alternator went and I traded it in for a brand spankin' new 99 ZX2. The Tempo always smelled like a taxi cab air freshener. *shivers*

First car was a '90 Ford Probe GL. Got it when I got my license in '95, my parents had it since it was new. 4 cylinder, automatic...SLUG. I took it to the track once and managed a whopping 18.05 with it, but it was consistent enough that I won a trophy in the brackets. :lol: I was a baller, though: it had a built-in phone. Or maybe that just dates me more than anything.

No pictures, of course, as I got rid of it in October of '96. My Dad got a company car, so I got his '96 Nissan Maxima SE 5-speed and we sold the Probe. Needless to say, it was an upgrade. :D

I knew those kinda comments were coming.

Come on now...

Thing is, I was young, and stupid, and knew nothing. I did take off all those stupid stickers though, and I did grow up. No more vinyls for me.

Come on. I'm sure even you went through that phase. Good news is, I'm over it.

No, the ZX2 feels like a Bugatti compared to a CRX.

first car, 66 mustang:cjw:. Have had to do everything: autolite 4100 carb, tri-y headers, dual exhaust, pertronix ignition, chrome engine dress up kit, install original split bench seat (very hard to find for these), 1" front end drop, kyb gas shocks, a/c delete (coming back because it is friggin hot), factory style foglights, etc.
Getting ready to pull it out again for the rest of the summer. :splitnana:
