Conservatives wouldn't ride that lame..... Besides we're all rich. So, we don't need a car simply to be cheap.

And we do understand the need to take care of the planet.... So, a smart car makes more sense... But some customization is in order... Its just how we roll....

Wow, you guys own a lot of cars, but I have a lot of pics!

1999 - gift from grandparents, my uncle-in-laws old ride before he got a kid - 1989 Nissan 240sx Coupe - sold 2008
This car went through a lot of iterations; I'd count this as at least 2 cars.
"OMG, I hate RWD, why would anyone want a car that kicks its rear out?"
Image

2006 - picked up my 2nd car (the orange one you all know & love now) - 1992 Nissan 240sx Convertible
This car has also been through extensive modifications; I'd count it as 3 cars, haha
Image

2007/2008 - "thought" I could handle getting my friend's '91 300zx TT to run right - *stick shift* - gasp - traded for car below in April 2009
Image

April 2009 - traded car above for a more pratical daily driver - 1992 Nissan 240sx Convertible - gave to my lil cousin recently who needed a car
"You can have this car under one condition: don't 'fix' it up, it wastes a lot of money."
Image

July 2009 - got myself a super practical daily driver - 1998 Mercedes SL500 Roadster
