I'm still waiting to find out.
1970 Chevy Nova, white over black. What a great car that was.
'02 Ford Focus ZX3 black.
Define own. Family own....? We all shared. Ours was a small Mazda 121.
1984 mazda 626...
lot's of good times in that car...VERY good times.
A Pinto........Hahahahaa. No idea what year it was. Just that it was lemon yellow.....go figure.
1989 Pontiac Tempest - Maroon. Bought it for Cdn $5,000 in 1991 few months after getting my first job. My hubby (then fiance) split it down $2,500 each. I saved every penny I've got to get a car after waiting in -25C with bus stop full of smokers. Transport it to BC using truck for $750. I used it until its last leg, fix it up one more time and used by my parents until they barter it for $250 to the dealer. Reliable car and served us well. Like Albert for Bruce Wayne...
1. '93 Cherokee (drove for almost 15 years- on and off)
2. '83 Suburban (drove into the ground)
3. '88 Suzuki Samurai (actually got a speeding ticket- 135 km/h!!!)
4. '01 Subaru Outback
1989 Nissan Pulsar.
I worked all summer to put a kick ass stereo in it. The Stereo cost more than the car. I think it cost about 5 dollars to fill up though.

Um. I never looked underneath, so ???
I got the ticket heading downhill into a coulee oustide Red Deer (really strong tail wind).
I liked that vehicle, though I drove it mostly in AB and I'm a seriously bad winter driver at the best of times. The short wheel-base led to a lot of 180 spin-outs-- luckily I usually finished work and drove home in the middle of the night when noone else was out driving.
I also remember that when you locked the front hubs and put in into 4x4 mode, it felt like you had power steering...
Hmm I'll go family cars
First family car: 1978 or something yellow Chevy Nova. It was a beast and it blew up in my garage burned the house down in '88. We've never bought a chevy again.
second car: '88 white Taurus. The car was nice, it was fully loaded, used of course. Had the car from 1989 to 1996. It was notorious for breaking down on the way to Florida each summer. One year we went from Chattanooga Tennessee to Sarasota Florida without Air Conditioning in the July heat because altinator didn't work or something. classic.
'94 Olds Cutlass. Got it from Grandma and Grandpa after the Taurus. Didn't have it too long. 96-1999
'00 Olds Silhoutte- (still in use)- best vehicle we've had. Its been to every state east of the mississippi plus Ontario, Kansas and Colorado.
'96 Bonneville aka the big boat- grandma's car. The thing is huge, massively huge and oddly shaped. Probably will ditch it for a smaller car once we find the money.
'00- ZX2- dad's car. It's got 200,000 miles on it and it has parkinsons. It shakes badly. But it runs, we need it to. I work out of it.
my first car wasa 1987 oldsmobile cutlass supreme with burgundy interior and had a 307 v-8 it went all right but it had a sverve water leak ans was always having moisture problems so i ended uo selling and getting a new car.....
kewl. My friend Mike just bought an 87 Grand National. We spent last summer laying rubber all over the Mary Hill bypass :)
First and current car is a silver 2004 Mazda 3 with a nitro-injection system for teh turbo boost.
Ok, that last part is bullshit but sometimes when I'm on the road I pretend I'm Mad Max!
Zoom Zoom!!!!
Thats cheating Tenk! I had already hit quoted reply when I saw that there wasnt nitrous. I was going to ask what system you had in it.. I had a buddy with an AWD talon huffing nitrous.. that thing would light up all four tires and take off NOW. We replaced the engine a year after he got it.. with no nitrous.
nitrous voids the warranty.
*huffing nitrous*
Wah?? (//forums/richedit/smileys/Sad/9.gif)
