Your Cars

**Ed_S** · November 2nd, 2003, 02:09 AM

Half right, Chris - I'm 44, but you might say the 'ole accounts are fully stocked....

Every one of those was bought on the ONE payment plan!

Total debt owed -0- including house.

No mid-life thing, really - I've always owned multiple cars, even as a teen. Much nicer ones these days!
They really don't cost much if you play it right...
For instance, the LeMans was bought (already fully restored) for less than it's value at the time and is now appraised at almost twice what I paid. The 'bird was a trade-in at the dealership I work at, got it way under wholesale. The truck.... long story, but let's say I've got a lot less in it than you'd believe!

About the mid-life thing, I will admit to a twing of desire for a bike again after 18 yrs w/o one! Saw an HD trike that's kinda cool...

Good for you on the debt free! Definately the way to go

At least you own them all free and clear, makes it a much better mid-life deal

Pretty good at guessing age eh?

Pretty good at guessing age eh?

Especially with the user profile.

Close! You're about 20 years off, though.

A '94 Subaru Legacy. Eventually I want to get a WRX. I love driving Subarus for some reason.

I wish my dad would buy me a Beemer.

LOL... Chris, I believe Brandon's age based on his brash actions and statements in the past. No offense, Brandon.

He's pretty young but he comes from money!

**brandon184** · November 2nd, 2003, 02:24 AM

I wish I had a WRX at this point... 333 horses and RWD aren't the greatest combination for icy Canadian winter driving conditions. Even with winter tires. Not that I'm complaining, or anything.

None taken.

I'll pitch in for a bus pass.

**Bizkitkid2001** · November 2nd, 2003, 02:40 AM

I like the Lancer Evolution better than the WRX. They had one at a car show I went to a couple weeks ago, where they had pumped out 401hp out of the 2.0 4cyl that came in it.

1993 Nissan 240SX

Cheap, reliable, and sporty. I'm happy with it.

Oh, and Warthog. What ever happened to the BMW?

**Thud** · November 2nd, 2003, 03:50 AM

Japan: 1988 Toyota Sprinter (same as a Corolla or Geo Prism stateside). 1.6l 4 banger with 4 speed. Great little car, for what I paid for it. Gets me around here just fine, and is great in the snow.

USA: 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 4X4. Like driving a 4WD Cadillac. Gas mileage sux, but it's paid off.

BMW 320i, 6-Cylinder, 5-Speed Auto Coupé, fuel injection, Airco.

It will do 133mph if you have the room to do so, but, more importantly, it will get 40mpg at a steady 75 miles/hr on a flat road, which is not as good as a 318is.

It is only about 140BHP compared to the M3's 321BHP, but you pay much less insurance.

**jerrygarcia** · November 2nd, 2003, 08:56 AM

1998 Chevy Z71 Silverado 4x4 Extended Cab.
My wife drives a 1997 Ford Explorer XLT. Both are loaded, leather, cd changer, electric seats etc......

I have a 1995 Chrysler LeBaron convertible in the garage for summer driving.

88 Cadillac Sedan Deville
87 S-10 Blazer Tahoe

I know, they are all older, but they run and they are all paid for.
