'86 GMC Safari Cargo Van - I actually lowered this piece of crap too and custom painted it

'97 Mercedes E420 - My first car that I didn't have to actually work on and worry about... H&R Sport Springs w/ Brabus wheels

'05 Mercedes E350 - First NEW car I ever got... Probably the LAST new car I'll ever buy as well after the hit I took on it

.. H&R Sport Springs w/ Brabus wheels

'01 Toyota Tacoma - Still have this hunk of crap... has a dent in each panel I swear !

So, Annie, you're a car namer. Interesting! A couple observations questions:

1. Rusty is a very unfortunate name for something made of metal.
B. How do you distinguish between the boy cars and the girl cars? Is it how they drive or do you look under their side skirts?

I don't know how I totally missed that after looking at Annie's short and succint fourty four car listing.

My absence from AX has not made your jokes any funnier either.

You bought a new MX5?!
