My 1st car in 92 was a 1977 buick regal 5.0. It was in perfect condition when I got it. The only thing wrong with it was that the headliner was coming down but I got that fixed. Man could that car move! On the outside it looked like an old ladies car but it didn't drive like one...I got pulled over quite a few times...never got a ticket though
In 93 I got a red 1990 cavalier z-24. I LOVED that car! That was another car that was very deceiving. It got me into trouble though. I loved to drive fast and I ended up getting into a bad car accident with it and totalled it.
After that I had a 1988 monte carlo ss..also in close to perfect condition. I drove that when I lived in Florida. It was a V8 so I was spending a fortune on gas..even at 98 cents a gallon. I ended up trading with someone for an 89 nissan sentra/stanza. That was the 1st car I ever had that had a moonroof. I used to drive it down to Miami Beach with all my friends and they would hang out the moonroof and yell at guys That car died at almost exactly 250,000 miles. The head gasket blew. SO then in 99 i ended up getting a 95 monte carlo LS. She was good to me...never really had any major problems with it except for the fact that you can't lube the ball joints on those cars so they tend to rust and break and if you don't pay attention to em you could end up in big trouble! Luckily the one and only time a ball joint broke on it I was only doing about 20 miles an hour through a parking lot...actually i was probably going slower beceause I was about to turn into a parking space. When the ball joint broke it pulled out the axle. Good thing it happened then because after that I was getting ready to get on the highway. If it had happened when I was going about 65-70 I may not have made it home!
Now I have Skittle! My 2002 cybergreen gls 2.0 and I wuv her!
