Re: New spin on a 'Car' thread
Fun game
1976 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce. Not mine (my dad's) but the car I learned to drive in. Really wish we still had it, probably worth some money now. 1988 Jeep Cherokee. Got it from my parents with 120k, gave it back with 180k. Best car I ever had. Went to my stepbrother who put another 30k on it. 1986 Mercedes 190e. Got it from my parents with 240k, gave it back with 285k and they traded it in on a new car for my mom. It was on it's third transmission and second engine. From what I hear it's still running. 2001 Acura CL. Tranny went with 30k on it. Nice car but the motor was too powerful for the transmission. 2001 Jeep Cherokee. Drove this almost all the way across the united states (Philly to Phoenix). Totaled in a very minor accident (according to the insurance) co (bent frame) but I think someone at the body shop wanted it so they trumped it up. 2001 Subaru Outback. Had this until we traded it in on the new Forester. Great car. 2008 Dodge Caliber. Sold this when we went down to one car a few years back. 2012 Subaru Forester. First brand new car that I or my wife have ever had (6 miles on OD when we got it). My wife's daily driver. 1991 Honda Civic EX. My run around city car. Mostly sits but it always starts right up and goes. 3 more years and this baby is a classic! |
Re: New spin on a 'Car' thread
OH, I forgot. In between the the 86 Mercedes and the 01 Acura I had the venerable 1997 Ford Explorer (a/k/a Exploder). Yeah the one with like 20 recalls. Traded in on the Acura.

1987 Dodge Dakota-first one. Saw it in my old home town last time I was there, about 6 months ago. Still had my fraternity sticker I put on it.
1992 Jeep Cherokee. Rolled it after I hit a patch of black ice south of Austin. 1996 Dodge Ram 1500. Drove that until three years ago. Put almost 200K on that thing. 2009 Jeep Liberty. Going to drive that until SWMBO realizes I'll need a truck. |
Re: New spin on a 'Car' thread
1985 Ford Tempo. I used to take it out when my parents weren't home to teach myself how to drive stick.
1983 Chevrolet S-10. I went through about 4 transmissions in that thing. 1996 Saturn SC1. piece of crap. had it for maybe 6 months. 1999 Ford Ranger. Loved that truck. I had it for about 5 years and then had to sell it when I bought my 4x4 truck. 1991 Ford F-150. Beater truck. bought it for $500 and sold it for $500 about a year later 2004 Ford F-150. Great truck. Love it to death. 4x4, 33inch mud tires, flowmaster exhaust. |

Those Cherokees are nearly unbreakable IF you maintain them properly. Transmission fluid every 30k, oil every 3k. Mine was awesome. I wish like hell I never traded it. As I noted in the lead post for the thread, I just bought my wife a 2013 Outback 3.6R, pretty well loaded out. Never had a Subie, but I understand there is a cult following and most people refuse to drive anything else. I am happy to be in the club.... |

Subarus aren't the flashiest cars and don't have the fanciest bells and whistles but the symmetrical AWD system is the best on the market and they are an excellent value at least in the forester and outback lines. I'll take a boxer engine and the SAWD system over any fancy toys out there. Driving a Subaru in the rain is an experience, I've never felt safer on a wet road in any other car. |

The cargo room sold me on the outback. a hair of 7ft deep with the seats down. We go the new Special Appearance package in Brilliant Brown Pearl, which is only being made through the end of August.
