traded my 91 hatch with a LS swap

for my 94 Del Sol S
Currently building a LS/Vtec for it along with De-ricing it, most of the way finished but still a few more pieces need to be swapped out.

90 Integra LS 5spd -> Bought from a guy in Wisconsin for $1000 when i was 16 (2004) brought it down here. Fixed the rust and repainted it the stock black and loved driving that car until 2006 when it had some engine problems and decided to sell it. I miss this car everyday it had perfect interior except for the usual spot on the driver's seat.

01 Mustang Gt 5spd- Bought with the money from the teg and graduation. dd for 2 years. Still have it and still love it. But when gas prices started going up my baby started killing my wallet and i started to look for a honda again. I love the mustang but there something I missed about driving a honda

91 Civic sedan LX 5spd- after months of searching found her on craigslist for $1000 using some oil. Had the usual rust but not to bad, the interior was super clean only had a few stains on the floor and she only had 130,000 miles on the clock. It ran fine not a lot of power but it seemed to run strong. The guy thought the rings were going which i knew i could fix in the garage. I fell in love with the car right away. Gave the guy money down on it that day. Well when he was driving it to my house to drop it off something went wrong in the engine, he called me to tell me this and i was devastated. I was so excited to have a honda again. I went and met with him where he broke down and talked to him about. He offered to sell it to me for $700 the way it sat so i took her home. Turns out a hole got burned through one of the valves in the head. Got that fixed drove her for 6 months and the something broke in the bottomend so i swapped in a d15b7. Now she runs good and strong. I love driving her everyday.

I needed something that got better gas milage than the 10-13 mpg my truck gets. My little bro got me into hondas but I didnt really want a civic and had always liked the integras. After about 6-8 months of looking for just the right teg my buddy called me up while at work one day and said there was one FS in a parking lot out in St. Charles. I asked does it say Vtec on the rear and he said yes. I figured I wouldnt be able to afford it but there was a big dent on the hood so I figured Id give it a shot. I called the guy and found out it was a one owner, in my price range and a great deal so I went and looked at it that night. Then went back to have my older bro test drive it since I had never driven a stick before and everything checked out. I told the guy if it passed state and emissions it was sold. He called me up that monday afternoon and said it all cleared so I picked it up that weekend.

Figured this would be a fun topic. How did you end up with your current car/cars and why did you buy it/them?

My old bosses brother ended up getting stuck with my 2004 Volkswagen Jetta 1.8T after cosigning for a friend and that friend skipping out on the payments a few months down the road. My old boss brought it to work a few times and I drove it here and there and really enjoyed it. After talking with his brother I ended up picking the car up a few days later and taking over the remainder of the payments. The color was one thing that at first made me not want to buy it. But looking back on it, thank God I did because very few were ever made in Wheat Beige. And it was turbocharged so that was a big plus. I definitely wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't.

Im just the old boss now? lol

91 Taurus SHO the story.

After my daughter was born i quickly realized that mustang convertibles were not Baby friendly. I sold the Mustang and acquired a 91 Escort Wagon. it ended up being a pile and throwing a rod. so i scraped up 2 grand and bought a 98 SHO. i loved the car but lacked in the fun to drive dept. so i traded it for a 95 SHO. i really liked this car but always dug the style of the Gen 1's over the Gen 2's

After a few months i got an opportunity to swap my 95 with a rust free 91.

a year later i couldn't be happier. Fun car thats not only a blast to drive, but hauls the family when needed.
