I had a '89 Dodge Dynasty which my grandparents passed down to me. I body colored most of the chrome and put a huge system in it. This thing had 170,xxx miles on it and took a crazy beating from me but held up. This is why I still like Dodge.
#2 2001 GTI VR6 with a **** load of suspension mods, reacaro interior etc etc... I have a better picture but can't find it for whatever reason.
#3 06 cobalt SS/SC

I started off in a pimpin 1987 Lincoln Continental, Silver with red leather, 60k miles. Wrapped that one around the back of a towtruck.
Then I got a lovely 1993 Toyota Tercel. 82 hp from fatory, maybe 55 hp now with 140K on it. 4 Speed tranny, like anybody still uses 4 speeds in the 90's. I have converted the interior to Paseo stuff, which is much sportier. I even added the B&M knob out of the cobalt when I put the sparco one on. Also found a nice set of 14" wheels for $100, added a stereo with 4 speakers instead of the factory 2. Then, I got nuts and added a flamethrower kit to it. Nothing gets more looks than a stock white Tercel shooting flames out of a stock Cobalt SS exhaust tip. I have maybe $1800 in the car, and now my dad drives it to work instead of his truck and I use it when the Cobalt is down.
I would add some pics, but I don't know how.

my old car was a 2001 ford escort zx2 ...(stop laughing) lol , i loved the car i did so much to it a and planed on doing more
fasted i went on a 60shot was 14.6 @97 with a bad clutch. now you might be wondering why i got a new car.....welp i fixed the clutch then this happened.....
drunk driver rear-ended me at 55mph I was at a dead stop at a traffic light the force sent me into the car in front of me and that car into the car in front of it and so for another 3 cars.
if your wondering why I looks like its my fist time seeing the car welp it was ,because i suffered a concussion and lost 3 days of memory(day before ,day of, day after) and even after seeing the car i still don’t remember what happed...the funny thing everyone says i was awake the whole time ,i was just suffering from lapsing memory as my brain tried to repair itself. i was pretty much stuck in 5mins ago every 5 mins. i would ask. what happened ? did they shave my head? is there an IV in me ? was anyone hurt ..was it my fault? ...then after it was all answered I went blank and 5 min later i would ask everything again in the same order the same way. im very lucky to walk away with just a concussion.
welp a week later after i got my money for my car 6,000 bucks ...i paid off some bills .i was gonna get another zx2 , but i just didn’t want to start over. so i thought id try factory speed for a change ..i looked at srt4s and wrx's ,350zs but the only ones i could afford had over 30k on the clock ...and im sure those were a hard 30k miles considering the type of cars they were, and I just really didnt want a srt4 becasue everyone has one around here. then I remembered watching a redline run 13.5 at the local track in 90+degree weather so i looked into redlines I found one for with 20k for only 11,000 ..jack pot!! welp my bank didn’t think so , to many miles and to old(2004) for me to get a car loan , then i found the balt used with 12k on the clock selling for 18,900 i test drove it singed some papers and drove her home . i still miss the z and sadly the ss dosnt make me feel anybetter about losseing it , dont get worng i love the car , but theres just a hole left were the z used to be ,so i think when i get the money im gonna build another one and use the ss as my daily
http://www.cardomain.com/id/zx201 its cardoamin page
http://www.cardomain.com/id/lesaber88 and the car befor its page ...i didnt buy this car with the intent to mod , my frinds bunrd on it all the time so i said i can probly make it nice , they said ya right ...so i took there challange
