What car did you drive BEFORE your 6G? Options

[Badkarma]

Just wondering, what made you all decide to switch from whatever you WERE driving, to a 6g. thought it would be interesting to hear from you all.


Ill Start. i had a toss up between a 95 GT a member Pimped6gen was selling, or a 99 mustang V6 5 spd. couldn't afford the 6g. so i bought the mustang. i've always liked them anyway. but i should've just waited till i could afford the mustang GT. (V6 was kinda under powered, and poor mpg)

So i went from a 94 Geo Metro 5spd, to a 99 Mustang V6 5 Spd, to my two 6g's. one Red Gt Auto Hatch. and One Turquoise GT 5Spd Hatch.

Had to sell the mustang because of the unbelievable amount of Rust i had on it from being in NY all it's life.

....next!

Cars I've owned, from oldest to latest.

-1988 Ford Thunderbird 3.8 V6. Miss that car to bits. Sold it as the floor was rotting
-2004 Mitsubishi Lancer ES. Totalled.
-1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST. Bought 12400$. 5000$ in repairs and 2 trannys later, I sold it for 9k exactly a year after I bought it.
-1995 Toyota Celica GT-S. Bought in september '06 with 142k km. Total amount of repairs and/or breakdowns since then : 0.

The Celi and the Eclipse have never been driven in the winter (people use salt on the roadshere so it eats up the car real quick) so I've had my share of winter beaters :

-1995 Chevy Cavalier 2.2 auto. 3 headgaskets in 60000km, and that thing was well taken care of.
-1993 Ford Escort 1.9 manual. Bought for 500$ including push start button made out of a doorbell button. 2 months later, brake lines blew, I'm ok, nothing happened. A friend offered me 300$ to go destroy it in a sand pit.
-1992 Honda Civic CX hatch 1.5 non-vtec auto. Meh. Point A, point B.
