Rep Power: 389 1st: Ford Bronco II Eddie Bauer Edition. It was a hand-me-down from my dad. The tranny blew for him and he had it fixed 2 years later for me, but in reality it was never fixed. The tranny seal kept blowing forcing it to leak out which would blow back when i drove and hit the hot exhaust and would smoke. It did that once, but the tranny fluid heated up so much it came up through the feeder tube and caught fire hitting the hot engine. got it fixed, drove it to CT, and my dad sold it for $1300. It sucked on gas milage, had some good power and lots of space. Nice height for a tall guy.
2nd: 1992 Ford Mustand, 4 cylinder automatic, Yeah that's right, a big woppin 105 hp when new. I got it with 58k on it. It was real nice on the inside and out. It stopped shifting into overdrive at about 65k, got that fixed. It started to idle low, but wouldn't stall. Got the ignition coils replaced and cat back exhaust (OEM) put on. didn't help. The part I needed was on back order for 4 MONTHS!!! It also would roll backwards when parked on hill in park. that is when I had enough and got the civic. It was low on power, but it had nice interior. Poor placement of the radio.

Rep Power: 0 White 1999 Civic DX 5spd coupe. Damn good car, I loved it.
It got stolen, stripped and burned which led to me getting my 7th gen.
There are pictures of it in Members Rides.
