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!

I had an 89 Corolla! Only had the drivers side mirror for some reason! lol Had no choice, it's what my parents bought for me. Then I traded it and bought my 6gc. Which was a car that I just loved exterior wise, plus we were a Toyota family. So as of today it's my DD and I have a 95 Supra hibernating in the garage.

repost...

91 ford ranger xlt black 5 spd 3l v6 (totalled) (I bought)
89 ford tempo (blew frost plug, junked it) (parents bought)
84 pontiac 6000 (sherman tank) (destroyed it on purpose, $400 beater) (dad bought)
86 mitsubishi mighty max 4x4 (blew the engine, replaced it, sold it) (i bought)
78 chevy 1/2 ton c/k (in between all vehicles) (dads truck)
98 PLYMOUTH neon coupe 1.8l SOHC auto FTL (sold) (i bought for some reason, didn't realize i had the crappiest one until it was too late)
95 curren black 3sge auto (wifey's) (i bought)
95 celi hatch white 3sge auto->manual converted (mines) (i bought)

got to japan, got the curren ($1200, which is exactly what i sold the neon for), i was on the lookout for a car for me, and had my eye on a 2jzgte aristo, but the guy wanted $5k for it, and he told me that he had a celica that he was getting rid of and showed me a pic of it on his phone. he brought it over to my house for a test drive, my wife and i loved it (now she hates it), so i bought it... $2300. same engine as the curren but tuned differently and the suspension is completely different.

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.

[DEATH]

-81 Celica GT
-84 Celica/Supra
-86 Celica GTS [2nd gen swap]
and now 3 6gc's in a row

Plus the family/grocery movers:
-95 Saturn SL2 [*Shudders* What a horrible time in my life - I also had no Celica at this time]
-94 Camry V6 XLE
-02 Camry LE
-05 tC
