I bought my car because I wanted to get rid of my crx and start with something fresh and unmolested..and I love 4th gen civics. I found my hatch on craigslist, guy said it didnt start and wanted 500. I emailed him and asked if it had ac and he said it did but needed a recharge. I was at school at UT and he was in clearwater, so it was a very short drive. The pics online were kinda bad and it looked like it had 2 diff tires. It did. Also it didnt have ac. He had said one day it wouldnt turn over..so he bought a truck. We push started it and i offered him 300..we settled on 350 and I drove my baby back to UT. I still have less than 1k in the car and it now has AC, Konig feathers with Hankook z212's, ground control springs ans frotn and rear sways with DA front brakes and crx discs in the rear... so far im EXTREMELY happy.
Also..the "it didnt turn over" turned out to be the small $0.50 plastic plug that pushes the clutch safety switch...after he replaced the starter, and battery.. I reached under the dash and fired it right up once I got back to school.

Forgot to explain my truck and my corolla...
the corolla was my dad's and he's the original owner...its rwd 5-spd, taught me how to get into trouble and has a 3tc motor. So I'm holding on to it to rebuild and and a few ponies too it.
The F-250 w/5th wheel is the toy hauler. Looking to pick up a 32ft enclosed 5th wheel trailer for the long haul race weekends. I am going to give it some love...DPtuner, GT38r, stealth pump, 4" straight though and an intake are on its line up...because every diesel needs 400+whp and 1000+lb-ft

I've always been a Volvo fan. Family full of Volvos and coming from an 850R.
I shopped E46 M3's, Audi S4's and C32 AMG's. My favorite was the C32... but the lack of a clutch pedal made it a no-go. The S60R was cheaper and had a better warranty than the Audi and BMW, and neither felt like they were worth the $10k premium over the R I found. Also, factory forced induction and not seeing myself at every corner...

Loved the way it looked. good for the money i guess, warrantied till 100,000 miles (says 6 years, but i'll get to that 100k way before then), AWD, and pretty zippy.
Cadillac's commercials asked it best: When you turn your car on, does it return the favor?
answer: every day.

Now there's some logic!
