Author Topic: How many cars have you had? Jennifer Pan THE JEN! Posts: 1219 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: Nov 2003 posted 01-19-2004 05:37 PM                        I realize that at my age I've went through quite a few cars. My first car was a '99 Pontiac Grand AM, after about 6 months my parents wanted me to get a better car... So I got a '98 Honda Accord... After about a week my dad really wanted that car so I got my parents' new '01 Ford Escape... Then about a 6 months later my parents didn't trust me with the Escape so they gave me the '97 Nissan Altima. And about six months ago I begged for the Honda back and I got it... Now after an excuse I made up, saying I needed a bigger car so I can be able to take all my stuff as I move to Arizona, I get the '01 Escape back. (I'm 19) How many cars have you had?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-19-2004 05:45 PM                     Everyone be sure and post your age so we can get Evans to calculate who has gone through the most cars on a per year basis. I am 34 and on my 5th vehicle.

I got it for free from my grandmother, and I just paid for new registration and crap like that. What a piece of crap! Then I started dating a girl who also had a 1984 Ford Tempo. This and especially the fact that the Tempo sucked prompted me to get a used 1984 Honda Prelude (manual transmission). This was a damn fine car, especially for its age. Then that same girl decided she needed a 1984 Honda Prelude as well. I don't date her anymore. About 6 or 7 months ago I went and bought a brand new 2003 Honda Civic EX (manual transmission... you won't catch me driving an auto ever again!). I almost bought the car outright, but I was a little shy. But at least my monthly payments are super low. This car rocks so far. It gets like 400 miles per gallon and pretty fast to boot! Also I can add a racing stripe, spoiler, and neon lights to make it even more faster! Actually my Honda Civic is probably one of the few that won't get riced up. The only modification I made was to remove the included CD player and install a MiniDisc player in the dash (it's lighter than the CD player, so the car goes faster).  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

Station wagons aren't exactly "chick magnet" vehicles, but they're useful for hauling stuff without having to drive a truck or van around all the time.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-19-2004 08:10 PM                  I've had 17 cars since I was 15.
