What Car Do You Own/What Cars Have You Owned
Interested in seeing what most of OOT is driving.
2005 Nissan Altima 2.5S
Nothing fancy at all, gets the job done for me.
My car history has been pretty lulzy...
1987 Nissan Sentra (99-00) Threw a rod
1992 Plymouth Sundance (00-01) Blew Head Gasket
2001 Toyota Echo (01-02) Totaled In Accident
1981 Buick Century (02-05) Traded in for Jeep
1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited (05-08) Gas Line Tear
2001 Ford Escape (08-12) Traded in for Altima
2005 Nissan Altima 2.5S (12-)
I was pretty bad with cars early on. From the Century on I've been pretty lucky. I was able to get both the Century and the Jeep for $800, both in great shape at the time. Jeep had some electrical problems down the line, but I certainly got my moneys worth.

Re: What Car Do You Own/What Cars Have You Owned
First was a 2002? Dodge ram 2500 v10. Retarded ass hell for a 16 year old but thats what i thought was cool. Went to school and worked two jobs for that thing and still couldnt afford gas...at $1.80ish. Sigh.
Went to an 89 toyota pick-up and loved it til I blew a head gasket.
Now have a 2002 dodge ram 1500

nah, early 70s Plymouth Valiant.
If I'd taken care of it (lol me when I was younger) it would probably still be on the road.

Re: What Car Do You Own/What Cars Have You Owned
99-02: 1993 Ford Explorer. Decent ride, I kind of miss it. Engine was going to crap. Blew out a quart of oil every couple hundred miles. Sold it for pennies. Then I inherited from my Dad:
02-05: 1992 Buick Regal. There was some random electrical problem where it would drain the battery while shut off sometimes. I had to keep a jump starter in the trunk just in case. The powertrain was in great shape, and I would have trusted this thing to drive me around the Country. Traded it in when I bought a:
05-Current 2004 Mazda 6. Pretty decent. I've put all but the first 4k of the 140k miles on it. The front suspension is pretty well shot, and the engine is starting to sound a little rough, but it gets the job done. I rarely drive it anymore since I pretty much only drive company cars these days. I'll probably hold on to it for a couple more years as a back up.
Since I barely need my own car anymore I'm not sure what I'll do. I really want a new Chrylser 300C but I'm not sure if I can justify the cost it since I probably only drive my personal car 1000 miles/year anymore.
