Your Car history meme
12 years ago
This was a reply to someone's journal post... It was so long. I'm making a meme out of it.
1 First car was a 1984 Mustang. 3.8 Notch back. Auto. The one with the ugly grill Had this car through high school. it was also my first motor rebuild.
2 Another 1984 Mercury Cougar, 302, 5.0 H.O. This was a 250 dollar car. The main intent was to pull the motor to drop in the mustang. And it never happen. I wound up driving this car wile in school as well.
3 Another 1984 Mercury cougar. 3.8. This car was a Florida custom that had a bad motor. The valves would rattle above 3000 RPM. The first cougar had a good motor. the intent was to do a direct swap from the LS And drop the 302 in to the Florida custom XR-7 that had 100 spoke wire wheels and yellow paint job with hand pin striping and yellow tint to match. Was also a low rider. This car never got drive much. and the motor swap never happen. I did get to take this car to my senior prom. Tones of people took pictures with it.
4 And yet another 1987 Cougar XR-7 5.0 EFI Full digital dash red leather seats power everything. Was the 2nd owner. She was my baby. But once she hit 120k she started having a dry knock when you would start her up.
5 1987 Nissan Pathfinder two door hard body. I had this one painted. put a warn wrap around brush guard. I had her for one winter. She was to hard on gas. 3.0 litter V6 Small gas tank This is when gas started to clime in price.
6 2001 Ford Focus ZX3 this car had just at 3k on it. she was a reconstructed car. But she was the most fun I ever had wile driving in the snow. She was also my first 5 speed. After a few years I got tired of everyone and there brother having the same car.
6 And we are going back a year. 2000 Roush edition Cougar. This was by far the fastest thing I have driven so far. When I got her. I really had no clue what I had. I know I always wanted this year cougar. it was also a 5 speed. I and the SVT Contor had alot in common from the same motor. to lower A arms and rear sway bar It just didn't share the 6 speed the contor had.this was my baby. She took me to my first Anthrocon in philly, She took me to Virginia for a fur camping trip. I did most of my travel with her. Had money problems and had to sell her for money. I still miss this car.
7 1991 Isuzu Trooper This was a winter car. my cougar wasn't the best in snow. After I slid the cougar off the road. I looked for a 2nd car. The trooper how ever became my main mode of transport after I sold the cougar. The Trooper found it's place in my heart. I had so meany reasons for it to not run. but it keep going. I had her for about 5 year. turned around and made my money back on her. I listed her for sale to see if anyone would bite. And someone did....
8 My current car Another 2000 cougar. This one isn't a roush edition. she is just an auto V6 But she also found her way in to my heart. She took me to Wisconsin last year. It will be tuff. But in 2014 She will be replaced.

Wow! That's a lot of cars. I'm only on my third vehicle. Went from a '99 Chevy Cavalier (Crap-alier!) to a '06 Chrysler Sebring convertible to an '07 Jeep Liberty. I also have a '63 Ford Falcon Futura which is my project car and automotive repair learning assistant but it doesn't run yet so it doesn't count! The Jeep is my favorite so far.
