First was the POS, the Pontiac Grand Am, 1986.
She had about 150,000 miles on it, the drivers side window wouldn't go down, the cloth panel on the roof would sit on your head as you cruised. I used thumb tacks to hold it up, FAIL. The effer would over heat and the antifreeze would boil over and go everywhere so I never traveled. Plus she had no AC so you would literally roast in the summertime with the heat and humidity here in good ol' NC...
Moved in with now husband and we got a green BMW 325i. Sweet car, loved to drive it. Transmission went out and it wasn't worth getting fixed so we sold it cheap. We were also expecting at this time so we went down to one income and then we got a 89 Honda Civic, stick shift, which I could not drive. So I basically went a year without my own car. That sucked!
We got our 98 4x4 Chevy Blazer that we still own and that has been the best car ever!! She sometimes has issues with her drivers side window but she gets us on the beach and that's all that matters!
I finally got a 97 Ford Explorer right after the second kid was born...fully loaded, leather, all automatic, CD player that held 6 CD's, I drove the hell out of that. The kids completely destroyed the interior. She needed tires, her transmission was slipping, and she was just going under. She also had 150,000 miles on her. Which leads us to my new baby...an 09 Honda Civic. I really really really love driving this car. She's awesome on gas, still has that new car smell, and the kids have the fear of God in them if they eff this one up. Nice.
