Sorry to hear that, man. Thieves suck. What are you going to replace it with?

The engine in the Stratus blew up with a touch over 50k on the clock. We traded it as was for the Accord the same day.

The tranny on the Intrepid failed at 625 miles and the dealer wouldn't take the car back. It was a mess to own and ultimately led to the purchase of my first Acura.

Man, I hope my car history ends up as varied and interesting as you guys. Then again, knowing how random my tastes are...

Its kinda funny because for some of you guys you can easily tell what cars you had when you were a teen/20-something and when you started a family

Some of us old guys don't have immediate families and still lust over the same cars we did as teenagers
