That blue neon on my friends old Camry definatly is whack. So was Me and my ford taurus with yellow neon. But I have rehabilitated and have my tastes and priorities straight. It was a twelve step process at the Betty Ford center.

Both those wrecked black CL's still make me cringe even though i've seen the pics a 1000 times. My first car was a 97 Saturn SL2 (totalled) Then I got a saturn SC2, had for like 8 months traded in for half what I paid for it toward my 2000 trans am. Still my favorite car, it was taken from me by an asshole in a dodge ram 3500 dualie, ran through me and killed my baby. I then pimped my beater for about a year,(94 Intrepid) till I got my 3.0, the rest is history.

first car

My first car was a 1997 Nissan Maxima SE, bought new on Oct. 30th, 1997 for $25,500.

Great car with the nice VQ30 engine. It wasn't a really fast car, but I drove it pretty hard, modded it, and still didn't have too many resulting problems. It got into an accident in Feb of 2002 and wasn't the same anymore. I sold it in September with 125k miles for $5.5k and I still miss it.




At one point it had:
H&Rs and Tokicos
dimpled and slotted rotors with Axxis pads
Stillen front and rear strut tower bars
Injen CAI
Cattman Y-Pipe
Technosquare ECU (A/F, timing)
DMS crank pulley
tranny valvebody mod with cooler
Stillen aero kit
18"s
5000k HIDs

Thanks for the compliment. I never got a chance to dyno it, but from the mods I put on it and compared to what others on maxima.org dyno'd at, I'd say roughly 170fwhp, 185 tq (25% drivetrain loss from the nasty auto). Stock is about 145fwhp. It only weighed about 3100lbs, so overall it was quick enough to duel on the highway once in a while.

Early 70's bright yellow Chevy Vega. Only had it a couple months and cracked the block when it overheated on a 200 mile trip to Seattle. Long time ago.

An old Ford Granada that I beat on and it just wouldn't die. I remember driving it home from HS with my freinds and we had to drive down these farm back roads that no one was around. We'd be doing 30-40 mph and I would shift it into reverse and floor it. It would continue forward with the tires furiously spinning in reverse and HUGE clouds of smoke pouring from the rear tires. But we laughed and thought it was the funniest thing. We did it almost everday to see how long of tire streaks we could leave. The road was covered with them.

Damn was I stupid!

But as I always say, to be old and wise you first have to be young and stupid (I think I'm going to be the smartest m@therf@cker on the earth one day!).

The first car I drove around was a 90? Mazda MPV. I originally wanted a Prelude or an RSX, then all of a sudden one day my parents came home with the CL and told me it was mine. Good thing I didn't get the RSX, since it's a girl car..
