I'll throw in the girlfriend-later-wife's cars too, since we've always shared...
1983 Dodge Omni, auto, AM radio, college car from mom. The thing was like a mule- drove it 70K miles around the country till it blew a head gasket at 101K. RIP.
1986 VW Golf, 5 spd, 82k - 162k learned to drive stick on it, manual crank sunroof!
1988 Acura Integra, 3 door, 5 spd. One of the best all around cars ever produced IMO. Cheap, practical, fast, classic clean design, handled like a go cart and still fit 10' 2x4's INSIDE the car. Bought at 62k, rear ended at 186k. RIP.
1992 VW Corrado SLC, VR6, 5 spd, owned 20k-68k. A monster of a car. Cannot understand why VW did not follow with another sport coupe given it's cult following. Fun as hell till 60k when it got very expensive to maintain.
1996 BMW 318ti California Edition (current)
1999 VW Passat GLS VR6, tiptronic. Bought new, now at 57k. Solid sedan, enjoy long tips, now valued same as my older ti. (current) |
