1954 small town in Arkansas. 16 years old. Guy ran over my 125CC Harley and pretty much totaled it. Used the money he gave me to buy a 1948 Nash. Too many cars since then to remember them all. Two weeks ago stopped by the Nissan dealer, spotted a new Solar Orange Touring Z, wrote em a check and drove it home. Getting a little old now but still enjoy a fast car. If I check out tomorrow it will be with a big assed on my face.

Latoya the Toyota : manure brown 1985 Toyota Camry (it was actually three shades of manure brown, plus: windows didn't work, neither did the door locks, leaked exhaust inside the car, and it was only a year younger than I was. Its a miracle I'm still alive...), i totaled it in a fender bender (5mph crash, it was too old to bother fixing)

Candy the Camry : 1992 Camry- POS with V6 power. went through FOUR auto transmissions bc the frame of the car was so shot. Luckily the dealer was a close friend and covered all repairs and decided to buy back that car for what I bought it for

Nina the Nissan:1997 200SX SE, my first stick (but I've always known how to drive), fun toy especially with all the suspension mods, still gets 34mpg!!!, low maintanance, but 10years old and 143K on the odo, its time for an upgrade

either an 2006 Z or G sedan... we'll find out soon.

It amazes me what some of these kids are getting themselves into, my dad is a doctor, and offers to buy me a car but I wasn't raised that way, and I refuse to let him. All cars were bought by me (same case will be with the next car), except for the first Camry in which we all shared. I've got friends who are 17 with two two premium cars (one friend had an E46 M3 and an 06 G35 Coupe simultaneously!!! and another had a C5 Vette and a Lexus RX330 simultaneously!!!) Let me tell you, it's a lot sweeter when you've earned it...
