My story!
My first car I got in 2004 from my mom. Champaign Green 93 Escort. 80 hp 1.8liter engine for the win.
It was rear ended on the highway a few months after I got it, my older brother was driving . The car had 105k miles and nothing had to be done with it except new head gaskets. It was dominated by a mid 90s 1/2 Dodge Pickup.
I then shelled out 500 bucks and my dad paid 1500 for an 89 Camry with 175k miles on it. I did some messing around with it just to get to know cars since I didn't take auto shop or anything. Helped me figure out the basics.
I had that for two years or so until December of 2005, I was out doing some white knuckle driving with it in deserts east of San Diego and somehow knocked a bolt into the transmission casing it rattled around in there for most of the drive back to the city. The transmission Died after I got home, I noticed fluid on the ground and decided to get the car off the ground to check it out. When I tried to get the car to move forward it only reved I got $180 from the wrecking yard. 2 days later I got a car loan and got my....
. . .2001 Mercury Cougar. I freaking loved this car and bought myself some nice set of springs for it. Got them a few days after I lost it
. I did get a full refund. Car's KBB was 11000 when I got it but I paid around 8000. Lost it in an accident last September, a 94 Econoline ran the red light and I didn't stop in time and went right into him. Bank gave me 9500 for it 1 1/2 year(s) left to pay off on it. It's worthy of two pictures. 
A few months go by and I look into all sorts of cars, a sweet 03 Mustang GT got my attention but since I was found at fault for the accident I had to get something that would be easier on the pockets. Came across my Cobalt on accident.
I also have a late 60s VW Karmannghia roadster that will eventually be a project car. This is a special one as it wasn't assembled on this side of the pond. My grandfather was stationed in Germany and brought it back with him after he retired.

I drove my grandma's 1993 Buick Century. It was actually really nice, until a van hit my front bumper (my fault) and shoved my whole bumper to the right side. My mom drives my old car now that I have the Balt. Yay for new cars!

I got rid of the Eclipse in the picture to put my downpayment on the Cobalt. The Talon looks horrible in that picture...its before I did anything to either car.
I've also had a 91 GSX, 91 TSi, 94 GS, 99 RS, 90 TSi AWD, 91 ESi, a 90 Ranger, 93 Buick, 79 LTD (first car) 89 Cavy, 96 Cherokee, 87 RX7...probably more but I'm tired of thinking.
