What Cars Have You Owned

[MRS TUR-BO6]

First car was an '89 pintara, that I ended up replacing an engine in (though now that I know something about cars I suspect that the engine didn't actually NEED replacing... more like the clutch, but hey... we live and learn!) then a couple of years after that it got broken into, shot at and smashed all in the space of 6 weeks! (luck was not my friend back then...)

Since then I've had a:

'96 honda civic coupe

'91 Nissan Silvia s13 SR20DET (co-owned by my ex... who I gladly let keep the piece of crap!)

'05 Subaru Impreza GX wagon

I'll add some piccies when I get a chance.

... and now, the '04 BA turbo... pretty much stock... for now lol

Tell me about it! I get that look from anyone I say it to!

Country girl moves to supposed 'big smoke'

country girl knocks off work at 11pm one night and decides while driving her apprentice home to do a little exploring around town.

country girl gets to a sort of deserted part of town, that's almost not in the town anymore, and starts getting tailgated out of nowhere by a car on a very narrow dirt road. when road opens out, stopped, group of about 4 guys get out of car... in the dark...

Country girl FLOORS IT cos she thinks she is about to be raped and murdered or something... country girls' apprentice is laughing and thinks we should pull over and TALK to them (!!!)

as we get back onto sealed road, the car behind, that has been flashing hibeams and indicating the whole probably, 5kms back into town, pulls out as if to overtake...

At this point apprentice stops laughing and starts screaming 'GUN!!!' at which point country girl hits the anchors just fast enough to have the solid homemade shotgun slug pass under the pedals, and get stopped by the engine block.

... I damn near had my feet blown off.

funniest part? as soon as it happened I started chasing THEM to get their number plate! lol... mind you at that point I didn't realise how lucky I had been. But apprentice was freaking and made me stop.

Cops everywhere, car taken for forensics, what a mess!

The guys were never caught, and a cop even called me 3 months after it happened and asked me if I found out who shot at me? WTF?!?! "pretty sure that's YOUR job mate!"

so now I am very careful about where I go at night! especially if I don't know the area!

1st In 1992 I learnt to drive in a 1983 manual falcon s pack - loved that car!!!

1996 purchased a 1988 Honda prelude - thrashed the poor thing to within an inch of it's life!!

1997 traded Honda in for a new Mitsubishi lancer MR, didn't have guts or handling so I don't know why I bought it

1999 sold the Lancer and bought a 1986 corolla - needed to clear debt!

2000 purchased a 1998 model au falcon - not a pretty car but it was reliable

2004 sold falcon and purchased a new Honda Accord Euro - still use it at my Mrs car... it's a great car.

2007 purchased a new territory ghia AWD

October 2010 trading in my territory for a new G6E Turbo 50th anniversary - can't wait!

Of all these cars, the only one that I couldn't find any love for was the lancer. even the sh*t box corolla was loved cos it was cheap but kept on going and going.
