1992-94. 1979 Buick Riviera This particular car was my sister's. It was parked for several years before she let me have the keys on my 16th b-day. I must have changed the oil like 3 times in the 2 years I had it. It was free and it had an awesome back seat. I sold it for $300.

1994-1997 1988 Honda Accord This little car was great untill the transmission went out. I sold for 150 without a transmission.

1997-present 1991 Chevy Beretta I was desperate when I bough this car. I needed something quick and cheap to get me around. I had a nice sound system in it. I actually sold once and the people who bought it came back for their money..... can't seem to get rid of it.. its a great beater over 150k miles and everything still works.

2000-last week 01 Sierra This truck is awesome. I got an excellent deal on it and paid it off in 18 months. Don't miss it much since my gf drives it now.

Last month-present 02 Sierra What can I say. I love my truck. I also got an awesome deal.

I see myself myself buying a used 02-03 Max in the next couple of months.

03 maxima? those are sweet. My mother has had about 4 maximas in my life time. first one was a 82 and the last was a 92. All standards and all run good for its time. i would give my buddy's 92 5.0 fits with it. It was stock but still not bad for a family car. i remember the tv ads saying " the 4 door sports car"

1969 Camaro
1985 Nissan Pulsar (my low point in cars - college car)
1993 Ranger X-cab V6
1996 Mustang GT
1998 Formula
1998 Isuzu Amigo
2002 GMC
1969 Camaro!

Its good to be back where I started

To be honest, I'm getting a little bored of the GMC. Sometimes I feel like trading it in on a convertible SS or a Corvette. Then I'd just get a beater truck to haul parts in and drive to work.

I owned a 2wd 89 Silverado reg cab, long box with a TBI 350 before my 99 Silverado. It was a very good, dependable truck.

Previous Vehicles:
  • 1978 Pontiac Grand Prix w/301 V8 (My first car.)
  • 1985 full size Ford Bronco w/300 straight 6 (Rolled it and still miss it. Had a TON of fun in this truck.)
  • 1982 reg cab, long box, Chevy Silverado w/305 V8
  • 1989 reg cab, long box, Chevy Silverado w/TBI 350 (Traded it in towards my 99.)
Current Lineup:
  • 1999 Silverado RCSB, 5.3L, 2wd
  • 1989 Mazda B2200 (My work/parts chaser truck)

Oh God, I forgot about the PULSAR. If your back to where you started, you don't have much to look forward to except the first Pulsar with an LS1.

Gotta Dodge I'll sell you!

You know what is funny? The Pulsar is the ONLY car I've ever owned that I don't have any photos of. Yep, I guess I liked it THAT much. My Dad picked it out, I wanted the gray RX7 I test drove the same day. That Nissan cost me a lot to maintain, I spent more than $3K the first year on it, and only paid $2400 for the car in the first place. POS!

1991 Saturn SL2. it was the 1st year they came out and i was pretty impressed. fun to drive due to the stiff suspension, DOHC, and performance switch, things you don't find too often on GM autos. it got me through college. as sooon as i graduated from college and was hired as a fulltime teacher, i bought my '99. tried selling the saturn on my own. good thing i bought a truck and good thing i didn't trade in my saturn. the 1st week i had my truck i hit a deer going 65mph. $4000 damage. probably would of been dead if i hit it with the saturn. i hit the deer dead nuts with the license plate and the whole front end exploded. also, it was good that i still had the saturn, because my Z71 was out of commission for 2 weeks.
