4 and counting
1986 (?) Ford Tempo
1984 (?) Ford Tempo (I know it was older than my first car, and I know they were both older than me)
1996 Dodge Spirit
1997 Mitsubishi mirage
Thanks especially to the spirit and the mirage I now know enough about what can go wrong with a car to accurately diagnose why my car isn't working right. This is a skill I get to use all-too-often. My cars pwn me, too. My mirage almost prolapsed this summer. That was fun. When I got rid of the dodge, it was sold to a mechanic. Last I heard, he coudln't make it run.
To be fair, my current car has issues in part because Midas raped it a couple years back. Cross-threaded a spark plug; poor car only had 4 to start with, and now it effectively has 3 1/2. Under the best of conditions it woudln't be very peppy. As it is now, when I floor it, it
sounds like a small plane trying to take off, but
accelerates like a fat kid riding a tricycle uphill.
As soon as I feel like I have the funds and it's a practical investment, I'm planning to update to a grown-up car- i.e. one that's less than a fucking decade old and breaks down less than once a month. This is 2010, I'm done with school, and I should be done with high school/college student cars (i.e. shitboxes).
Christ, am I the only idiot who has owned 15 cars (sometimes two or three at a time)?
Give me time and I'll catch up. I'm young yet, and have shit luck.
1984 Ford Tempo (had this car forever)
So you know the pain?
37.
Not counting the limo in the garage.
IN A ROW???
