I had a 95 S10 4x4 5 speed. It was slow, but fun to play with. It had some basic mods done to it. I was going to lift it, but I got hooked on the whole street truck thing!! Before that it was a 90 Beretta GT 5 speed. Fun car!

my first vehicle was a Black 1995 S-10 4.3v6...very slow but very reliable, next was a baby blue 1976 ford maverick me and my uncle restored, the car wouldn't even do a burn out on cement to save it's life but the old school brakes were fun!!!going 30 you could smash the brake pedal and stop pretty much instantly, and you had to love the mushy ride, next was a white 1995 jeep cheroke sport 4.0L H/0, this thing was quick as hell for something with a cold air kit and a flow master on an I6, it was probably my most fun vehicle and i'm thinking about buying it back from the guy as a daily driver while i work on the truck. now it's a 2002 silverado!!! my mom has had 3 99-up yukons, she had a 99, an 00 and just today got a brand new(8miles) Black, 2003 Yukon 5.3L 3.73:1, quad captians chairs, black customs leather interior...it's sweet!!! she'll be the only 48 yearold mom around here with a tight *** yukon with dual 1 chambers on it pretty soon, and probably my old UPD. (told her it'll help her gas mileage )

1990 C-1500 RCLB base truck, only option was auto, even had the am radio. My old man gave it to me when he got a new (used) truck. I had the truck for two months before I rebuilt a 350, and replaced the handy capped 350 (4.3) that came in the truck.
Great truck 0 problems (other then she was missing two cylinders from the factory) you can't beat TBI for dependablty, and the rear ABS was great for burnouts, once you the tires spining the rear brakes pretty much let off.

My first car was a new Aztec blue green Civic Si Hatchback, my favorite car. I dumped a grip of cash/parts into this car with a fully built turbo engine, Accel DFI, and a bunch of other parts. I soon decided driving on the street was either gonna get me killed or result in the theft of my beautiful ride.

I then decided to buy a cheap 93 Ford Ranger RCSB with the little 3.0 V6 and a manual tranny. This truck was fun to toss around and beat up but was SUPER SLOW. I installed a gibson exhaust and air filter and was still pretty unhappy. Then the transmission started having serious problems, probably because I loved to speed shift

I then sold this truck with 77,000 miles for $4500. Soon after, in September of 2002 I got my 03 Sierra. I miss driving my civic with its lightning speed but its nice to drive an automatic in Los Angeles where the traffic can get crazy. I also LOVE the sound of my V8 and thanks to hotchkis, edelbrock and pirelli my truck handles like a sports car half its size!

Well I didn't get to trade in anything before I bought my truck becuase the Jeep Wrangler I had caught on fire and burnt down to the frame.

This was the truck that I traded in on the Sierra, bagged on 18's. It was the sheezy back in the day. This pic is circa 2000.



Before that, I had a 1995 Sonoma TBI V-6/5speed. Interesting thing about this truck...well, a couple of things. It was two tone raspberry metallic and black, and was supposed to be a CPI/5speed truck, but the dealer ordered it wrong. Mid year 95 GM offered the 5 speed with the 190hp CPI V-6, and then in 1996 they introduced the MPI motors. If my truck would have come in right, I would have had one of the rarest S-10s ever made.

Before that, I had a 1980 Ford Fairmont with a 90hp I-6 and a 1977 Buick LeSabre, triple pea green with an Olds 350.

My current daily driver is a 1992 Saturn SL2. Love that little car--it has 148K on the clock and still runs like a top and gets 30mpg every day.
