Past Cars
 

How about a thread where we post all of the cars we owned and maybe include any good story about them? Pictures would be even better.

1982 Ford Fiesta - My first car
I bought this car for $500 from my neighbor. I had it for 3 months and then it wouldn't pass smog. I wanted to keep it so bad but the cost to repair was more than I could afford. Returned it to my neighbor. First car, first problem...

1979 Datsun 280ZX Turbo - I'd love to have this car again
Turbo was not stock, previous owner took the Turbo that came with the 1982 Z and put it on this one. I was told it made 180hp. For a car that weighed 2400lbs, it was a rocket when I was a kid.
(Not actual photo but mine was identical)

2006 Mazdaspeed6 - Great car, AWD Turbo 6spd - I had it over 300awhp.
In this photo, I'm the tall goofy guy on the left (it was windy) and my Speed6 on the right. This was a RX8 meetup back in 07.
