What kind of car did you have before the focus.... or if it was your first car, what did you drive before the focus...

Post it up :D

1981 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am (Smokey and the Bandit Edition) <-- First Car
1982 Mercury Bobcat
1992 Geo Metro
1996 Cavilier
2000 Sunfire GT

My very fisrt car I bought with my own money working at McDonalds for 3 years.



After this I had a

-88 CRx
-94 VW Golf CL

85 buick skylark
92 chev tracker
95 sunbird.

1991 Ford Aero Star
1996 Ford Taurus B)

Blew the tranny out of both.

Ford Escort GT - written off :(

too many others to list. B)

- 1989 GMC Sierra S15 Pickup 2.8L V6 ext cab short box black/red. T-boned a blonde who ran a red light and decided to stop right in the middle of the intersection. Write off.
- 1990 Pontiac Tempest. Still have it, its pretty much rust, seats, an engine and rims.
- 1993 Chevrolet S-10 pickup. God I loved and hated that truck. Regular Cab/Long Box with a 2.5L 4cyl. Good for gas, shitty on inside space. Fun for tailgate parties. I miss it's metallic blue colour. Sold it for $1750.00 last month. :(

Next car/truck
- probably a 2004 Chevrolet S-10 with 4.3L V6 for a winter vehicle

00- Grand Prix
94 Sundance - 2.2
93 Acclaim 3.0
01 - ZX3

1985 Nissan Pulsar NX 1.6L - written off by a "visible minority" who never should have been given a license in the first place.

1986 Chev Celebrity sedan... first car I ever got near 800/KM on one tank...

1987 Ford Bronco II 4x4 - first truck I ever really loved driving, I still miss it. :(

1986 Ford Tempo - in-between vehicles car, lasted all of 6 months

1990 Chev Celeb Eurosport Wagon - the most balls I've ever seen out of a car of that era - that V6 was insane and the car topped 200 KPH.

1987 Ford Ranger - my "project truck" with the 302 V8 and A4OD transmission. I've blown 6Gs on it, and it's sitting collecting dust and rust right now and has been for a year and a half, if not more. If there ever was a definition of "money pit", this is it.

First there was an '85 K-car in the summer of '93 when I got my license (3 months of "will it start?" until I got out from under it

The came an '86 Ford Taurus 4cyl. reasonably reliable but ended up dumping that in '96 after the heater core started letting vapours into the car :blink:

In '96 I then got an '88 Chevy Celebrity (hand me down from my father) and that lasted three years, until the gas tank started leaking and three replacement tanks later the problem remained :angry:

In August '99 I purchased a '95 Olds Ciera and lost it four months later in an accident that also saw me mangle my right leg thanks to a fool failing to secure his load on his truck properly :censored2:

Replaced that with another Olds Ciera in February '00 after I was cleared to drive again and had it until the unexpected repairs late last year/early this year reached $2,000 in the space of four months :wtf:

and that brings us to my little red rollerskate, purchased April 8 of this year :D
