1. 1998 XJ CHEROKEE CLASSIC

My first car and only car. 4.0 straight 6 undestructible

 

Hmmm..... Well here it goes,
Keep in mind I am only 20

From first car to the ones I currently have:

86 Olds Cutlass Supreme with rebuilt 350 Olds rocket(6mpg but it screamed!)
90 Honda Accord....no comment
90 Chevy S10
92 Jeep Cherokee, first XJ that I owned for 3 years.
85 Chevy C20
08 Kia Spectra( use for school and longer trips 35mpg is great)
94 Jeep Cherokee, $300 parts XJ
95 Jeep Wrangler, YJ...4cyl found out Wranglers aren't my thing, only lasted a month
95 Jeep Cherokee

Now of all these, I currently own the 08 KIA Spectra, and 95 Cherokee. At some point, I owned 3 vehicles at the same time. At 20 insurance sucks, multiply that times 3 so....I made myself get rid of one. So now I have a gas saver and a gas guzzler...evens out I guess

 

Ooh, I forgot, a 1992 Saturn with 260,xxx on the clock that I bought for fun, beat it into the ground, crashed it into a tree doing 35, broke out windows, trashed it, took entire exhaust system off, lit stuff on fire with the exhaust ports, did about 30 reverse donuts trying to destroy the differential (didn't...), then parted it out, made roughly $1400 bucks on that, then drove it 40 minutes to a scrap yard WITH NO COOLAND FLOW, Water Pump failed when I did all them reverse donuts. Drove almost an hour on an essentially air cooled 4cyl 4door sedan, and it didn't seize...

Did I mention I only paid $160 for it?

Sure Ill play.

First car I "drove" was my dad's 1970 something ford pinto, yeah he sold his Cutlass to buy a pinto.....whatever. That was when I was like 5 and he let me steer in a big open field.

as for cars I actually owned.

First was a 1980 something Plymouth Lazer
then I drove my mom's 1980 something Chevy Nova (the box on wheels, kinda looked like the old Camry's)

after that 1987 Camaro - Gave it away to a friend I owed money to
2001 Dodge Intrepid - Repo'd
1982 Mercedes - sitting in driveway

and finally my 1987 Cherokee!!!

There were others in there somewhere that I drove but did not really own

1980 something Buick skylark (box on wheels edition)
1995 or so Mercury topaz
My brother's P.O.S fox body mustang (had the small 4 banger engine in it)


I think that pretty much covers it.

 

im 17 and well its my one and only..... 95 xj

 

1983 Mercury Zephyr - 200$ and ran for 2 years!
1998 Pontiac Grand Am GT - Totaled by friend 2 months after I got it.
1991 Dodge Dynasty - Loved this car. Ran forever. Donated to charity.
2000 Chevy Cavalier - Going into demo derby next year. Glad it won't be me driving it.
2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport - Love it, will be driving this for a while.

 

I'm not sure I can remember all the cars I have owned, so here are just the 4X4s

42 Ford GPW
42 Ford GPW These were the WWII jeeps
68 Bronco
68 CJ5 (with 661 miles on it when bought)
64 Dodge W300 Power Wagon (Incredible work truck)
66 AMC Might Mite Only 6,000 ever made
84 Toyota PU
85 XJ Totaled
85 XJ given to daughter
86 XJ My current project

And a several Subarus over the years.

 

1. 1994 Caprice Classic, LT1, Buick Roadmaster seats, 18" chrome wheels, drove it for 3.5 years, ran like a champ, now its hanging out, waiting for me to get money to turn it into what i really want it to be

2. 2000 Cherokee Sport, trying to keep the bug from biting too hard, not work. at all

 

What ever happened to those? Were they actual army vehicles that were used in the war? There are a few of them in the local WWII museum...lol

 

Actually, I just put new pistons in my CJ5, and my connecting rods are Ford GPW.

And yeah, Ford GPW would've been pretty much for military only during WWII. Only reason ford built 'em.

 

ok... Im a little confused now... I just googled Ford GPW and they have a vertical 9 slot Jeep grille... I thought the Fords had a horizontal slotted grille...

Is the jeep grille originally designed by Ford?
