Lets see...
RIP
1. '80 Buick Century; Got this for $100 from my brother in law. Jacked rearend with Mags in the rear, LOUD BOX for metal only!LOL. Actually I really loved thi car, Someone tried to steal it from me but it broke down in my Apt's lot before they could get it away!!! Unfortunatly they cracked my column and it never ran right after that...
???
2. '78 Chevy Chevette; Bought this for $50! I had a 1.5 inch lift on this and had huge off road 'nobbies' on this. Of all of the cars, this refused to die!! Jumpped some tracks in this several times and eventually just gave it away.
RIPieces
3. '89 Chrysler LeBaron Coupe; Biggest piece of CRAP EVER!! Ran this for 1 month and after about 6 months of repairs, the lot finally took it back as, get this, a trade in. then I got this,
Still owned by someone...
4. '88 Ford Escort 4 door 5-speed Nothing special here... but I traded it to my old man for;
RIP
5. '88 Chevy S-10 Short bed. 2.5" lift kit, Hooker push bar with a fab wrap around for the headlights, lots more of fabs I can't remember.
RIP
6. '91 Subaru Forester (I think). Bought this for $50 to use while I worked on the Head gasket on the S-10. Gave it to a friend who since passed.
MIA
7. '96 Ford Ranger. Bought this when I moved out to Huntington Beach, CA. Came up missing when I was in the service. My Ex states that she kept in the Garage, My friend said she moved it out into the street. If anyone knows Cali, They tow after the 3rd ticket for parking. I'll belive my friend. I never checked with the Police, just left her...
MIA
8. '00 Ford Explorer. Actually really liked this truck..... untill my wife and I broke up. I gave it to her (I know) because she had the baby and she couldn't drive anyway. It made me feel safer for the Baby. I had bought p235/75/16 BF GOODRICH All terrain TA/KOs. Loved those tires. She eventually traded it for 3 cars that ended up being garbage (go figure).
GOODRIDDANCE
9. '01 Plymouth voyager. Originally bought this one for the wife......
See above. I ended up with this of course.

10. '01 JEEP CHEROKEE SPORT. JUST BOUGHT THIS YEAR. YAAAAAY!!!
I'd like to work this up, but money's tight, and it is my DD. So I'll probably get a lift and BF tires. We'll see about the rest.
Thanks for checkin' out my rant!!
