What was your last car and y did you get rid of it??
Just curious what everyone elses last car was. Mine was a 97 Dodge Avenger. This car was a big learning process for me. I learned alot of things about cars and learning how to work on them. I made alot of mistakes with this car and i def learned from them. I had alot plans for it but those plans fell thru when 2months ago it caught on fire. Even though it was very slow it was a fun car and i loved how it looked. Here goes a couple of pics of it. Dont mind the front bumper cause it was in primer at this point cause i had a hit and run accident.

I had a 98 S-10. Just like the first poster, this truck was a big learning process. I had a ton of fun building it, and regret getting rid of it. I traded it in at a local dealership for my stang. Some kid that works there bought it and I have been talking to him about buying it back ever since he got it, so we'll see what happens when I graduate college in a year. Anyways, I bought the truck bone stock about 2 years before these pics. The truck was the base LS model, I added the Xtreme body kit.

1985 AMC Renualt Encore
1981 Chevy Camaro - what is piece of garbage, lol. But hey I was like 17 then.
1989 Dodge Daytona
1996 Chevy S10 (only 1 ever bought brand new from factory)((show truck)
1995 Chevy Monte Carlo(show car)
1997 Chevy S10 SS(show truck)
1995 Chevy Blazer
1998 Chevy Camaro(show car) I really like this sleek look of this car.
2001 Chevy S10 (last car before the mustang)(show truck)My favorite truck owned.
2000 Ford Mustang GT (current)in my sig of course.
Oh yeah the reason I got rid of the truck was that I just wanted something completely different, so that's why I went with the mustang. She caught my eye one day driving down the highway at a local dealer, so I stopped in and bam the rest is history. I put that truck back to complete stock.
Here's my 2000 Mustang GT before all the customizing, god it's ugly, lol. Not really but damn compared to what it is now. The only thing that you see in the pic was the hood scoop. I added that on since it didn't come with one.
Before Customized
After customized

'05 1500 Dodge Ram 5.9l V8 4x4. Thing was a beast, had full bolt ons and 4.10s but the transmission was poop. Was too poor to upgrade it and gas mileage was horrible. That thing was fun while it lasted though.
