I don't have a car.

I’m a huge car guy, so I have a LOT of car stories I can tell. I currently own a 2006 Ford Mustang (bought before I was a Brony, guess it was an omen lol) that I daily drive and a 1979 AMC Pacer Wagon as a Project car. I also owned a 1995 Toyota Corolla in high school (riced out, I knew nothing about mods back then but I was enthusiastic about them haha).

I also owned a 1991 Honda CRX Si for about four hours. Gave my buddy (car’s owner) $2750 for it in cash on a Sunday night, was going to go meet him at the court house the next day to transfer the title, he calls me about 10:30 PM - he was outdriving his headlight and plowed into a culvert at about 60 MPH in a 40 zone. Car had frame damage. He did the right thing and returned my money. He’s still my friend, but I absolutely refused to ride anywhere with him after hearing about the wreck. He managed to go on to almost kill himself by hitting a mailbox at highway speed on his Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle.

My friends and I were all into classic cars in high school, I had a buddy that to this day still drives his 1968 Plymouth Valiant as his only vehicle, he also owned an ‘85 Plymouth Grand Fury for about a year. Another friend of mine had a ‘78 El Camino and a ‘95 Mustang GT. We worked on and drove each other’s cars enough back in High School that I probably knew more about their classic cars than I do about my Pacer.

That’s probably enough talk of my car experiences for now. I might add more later.

I have a 2014 Jeep Wrangler 2 door. Only vehicle I've ever had. It's dark orange/copper and I have both a hard and soft top for it. I've put a number of mods on it including; rock rails, skid plates, BFG KM2 tires, CB radio, and a few other minor things. I'm also getting a ranch hand bumper put on it hopefully this weekend since some idiot in a dodge badly mangled the stock one a couple weeks ago. I hope to put a 2" lift and a winch on it at some point but who knows when I'll get around to that lol.

1979 AMC Pacer Wagon as a Project car.

That is honestly a great project car. The Pacer is such an underated car imo. That being said I feel that way with a lot of the stuff AMC made in the 70's. Like I would love to have a Gremlin or a Javelin some day.

I've been thinking about getting a Prius Prime for a while now. I have the money to buy it with cash, but I also want to invest my money so I have more money later. More than anything, I'm just waiting for something to happen to my current car where it needs an expensive repair and then I'll get rid of it and buy a Prius Prime but it's been years and that hasn't happened.

Currently I have a 2010 Toyota Yaris hatchback. I like it a lot because it gives a lot of head room with a small price tag. I'm at about 130k miles on it and I've had no major repairs except the typical maintenance, tires, oils, and a belt or two. It saves me a lot of money by being such a reliable car and it is also very fuel efficient. It heats up very fast in the winter time and the air conditioner in it can cool the car off in minutes even after it's been sitting in the sun all day in the parking lot outside of work.

I've also owned a 1990 Chevy Cavalier. The Chevy Cavalier had head gasket problems mixing oil and coolant around 150k miles. It also needed a lot more maint. and unexpected repairs than other cars I've owned.

I've also owned a 1993 Saturn SC2 which had problems with the automatic seat belts running the battery dead when the car was off and nobody was in it. Also the Saturn SC2 developed automatic transmission problems where it would be late to downshift or upshift after about 200k miles. That was mildly infuriating.

Im not a huge car guy, but I had a really nice old Monte Carlo up until two years ago when a tree fell on it and totaled it. I did have to do alot of work on it though, and now I have a newer Subaru which I have yet to have any issue with which is nice.

Im not a big car guy though. I know how to do most basic fixes but Id rather pay others to do it for me lol

I'm also not very knowledgeable about or very into cars, so I drive a mum car! I have a 2009 Subaru Forester, and it's been an amazing car! It's safe and roomy~

Here's an old photo from when I bought my car.
