I'm a Serial Car Owner!

So I started to think about ALL of the cars I've owned over the years and it's a lota cars! I didn't necessarily purchase all of these vehicles, some I bought, some were given to me, some I borrowed until I broke them. lol. Hope ya enjoy the journey of my MANY cars!

1st we have the 1990 Crysler Lebaron. This is the vehicle I learned to drive in. :) My dad let me use this until I bought my own car. And even though I eventually did he ended up giving the Lebaron to my ex-husband Chad when his car broke down. This car holds lots of fond memories for me. :) My friends called it the red baron. I think Chad drove it till it died. Mine had more sun damage and kinda a dirty roof...but I loved it! :)



Next up is my 1995 Ford Escort that I bought with my very own money at the age of 16 I believe. :) Mine was Barney purple with some sparkles. lol. LOVED this car.



Then came the 1998 Dodge Dakota Sport. This was never my vehicle but my dad let me use it when my ford went to crap. I drove the dodge until I threw a rod...who knew you had to change the oil??? lol...I learned a big lesson that day. My dad's was red with big tires...It was awesome! REST IN PEACE



Then comes the dreaded but loved Mini Van. When Chad & I engaged his parents gave us the van for reliable transportation. We even honey mooned in this van! :) Ours was green and kinda smelled funny...but it ran great! Eventually we bought our own vehicles and gave the van back to his parents.



So my Brother in law Ed owned a tow yard in JB, FL and I swung by one day and fell in love with a hunk of junk! :) My first 5 speed...a 1990 Nissan 240sx. OMG, I loved this car even though it smelled like gas and every time I shifted gears a HUGE puff of white smoke flew out of the tail pipe. lol. I kept this car for about 8 or 9 months...pretty much until it died on me. Mine was a maroon color with sun damage and bumpin' system in the back.



Once Chad & I knew the 240 was on it's last leg we decided to get a BRAND NEW car!! We bought our very first reliable car!! lol. A brand new 2003 Kia Optima. Ours was white and only had 24 miles on it when we purchased!! He kept that in the divorce but traded it in when we were still going through our divorce for an escalade. LOL-sucks to be him with the gas prices the way they are. ;)



While we were still married, he finally gave in and agreed to buy me a new car so I didn't have to drive the 240 anymore. I bought my very own brand new 2005 Mistubishi Lancer. I was soooo excited! It had 100 miles on it when I purchased it, had the new car smell (instead of the oil smell), and was a 5 speed that shifted sooo smooth. I showed this car off like it was a 150K vehicle. :) My baby was hit by my friends boat propeller...but was fixed up like new. :) THEN-my dumb ass fell asleep at the wheel, flipped the car, and totalled it. I guess in the long run it was a good thing though b/c that was the only thing tying me to my ex-hubby.



After flipping that car, I went on with my life and found my true love...a 2003 Volkswagon GTI. Yes, that is a turbo engine. :) I seriously LOVED this car. I cleaned her every weekend, never ate in her, and spent most of my time with her! ;) But once again, bad decision on my part of not paying my car payment for umm...6 months. LOL-she got repoed and I miss her tons!



So this brings me to my wonderful mom & dad who have done soooo much to help me in my 23 years of existance. My dad bought a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee for me to use until I got back on my feet and could afford my own car. I never really got "back on my feet" so eventually he traded in the Jeep that has some mechanical issues and that brings me to my next Love. :)




A classic worth millions I'm sure! A 1987 Toyota Camry. LOL-yeah I bet you weren't expecting that! lol. Although, I'm a brat and wanted a nice car I've really grown to love my car. It might be just a few years shy of my age but this car is bomb. It drives great, gets great gas millage, and the heater works GREAT. :) I thought it would be really funny to take sexy pictures with my car like ppl do with their 200k cars. I haven't done it, and probably won't but it was a funny thought. :)



Well, I hope you enjoyed the journey of my cars! In case you were wondering, I've had 10 cars in the 7 years I've been driving. LOL-I wasn't kidding when I said I was a serial car owner! :D
