84' Toyota Corolla GTX twincam 16 WRC turbo- This baby loved the twisties, and hauled arse on the autobauhn!

75'? VW Rabbit (POS, practically held together w/ nothing but bondo) actually fell-apart after putting on 25K

79' VW Sirocco 16v. A perfectly balanced ride(sold when my father got stationed back in the states) :(

75' Ford Mustang II (yanked out the original 2.3, and stuck an SVO 2.3 w/ T-3 turbo,C-5)

69' Ford Mustang 429 Boss- Found in a junkyard, and fully restored. Hit by a drunk bitch in a POS Sentra...cracked the block, and bent the frame!!!:mad:

90' Toyota Celica GTS- fun but slow, and heavy too

90' Mazda RX-7 GTU TT- raced on the eastcoast, sold it to a buddy of mine when stationed @ Mayport, Fl.

93' Toyota Celica All-Trac GTS- picked it up @ an auction for only 3K! The ride was already heavily modified, and in mint condition!! After doing additional mods myself w/ fun stuff from HKS, TRD,and Toysport...I had her up to 605hp.@10psi.:eek:

2003 Mazda MSP- after moving out west w/ my wiff, I wanted something new,my ALL-Trac had 184,056mls. and still running strong!!! And after shopping around...I picked the MSP(a toss up between:03'EclipseGTS,03'Celica GTS,and RSX-S. The MSP won me over w/ it`s overall appearance and handling!!! As well as $)
