Default Before the Audi

This belongs in Off Topic but we have more activity here.

This should be kinda funny.
Before you got your Audi what was the car you were driving?

I had a 93 Mitsubishi Eclipse(miss smokes alot)
and before that 93 Pontiac Grand Prix(second bedroom)

Default RE: Before the Audi

before the audi I had a '71 datsun 240z (just sold it)
and before that I had a '97 ford explorer (stupid)(threw a rod, junkyard gave me 350$ for it)
and a '92 miata (flipped it in the canyons(angeles crest))
before the explorer my dad leased me a 2001 jetta VR6 (it was a piece of ****)
and a '89 jetta (I still have the jetta(my first car!))

this definately belongs in off topic!

while I had the miata and the explorer i bought a honda cbr 650 and I didn't like it at all[:'(]

1st unofficial car - 1989 Dodge Colt (Bought in '88), Dad bought it day I was born. Once I became old enough to drive, I started working on getting it running again in '06, but come home one day and find that my dad had it towed to donation. Lost $398.94 worth of work that I had put into it. It had 211,*** miles on it. Clutch had died as well as the timing belt at the same time (was on original clutch and belt, that was amazing!)

1st official car - 1994 Volvo 850 Turbo, ($2950) traded it in a year later (Jan '08). Fun car to drive, had power.

Current ride - '01 A4 1.8TQM. 2nd owner. Previous owner must really like safety cause this car is fully loaded...with airbags. front driver and passenger, and all pillars front to back have air bags. Perfectly maintained. ($6000, Cheapest A4 in Sacramento, CA in this condition, others are either abused or too expensive) God, I love my car.

1st car (sorta)- 1986 chrystler lebaron - I say sorta because it wasn't really mine. My parents got it for free from a family friend, and being a triplet, i had to share it with my brothers (my parents took 3 16 year old drivers at once extremeley well). It was a huge POS, but it was built like a tank, so we put it through hell

2nd car - 1986?(i think) Pontiac Fiero - This one was a problem from the start. A friend was moving to hawaii, and gave it to me for virtually nothing. From the day i got it, it wasnt in good enough condition to pass emissions, and i didn't have the time and/or money to pull apart the engine and get started on it. It is still sitting on the side of my parents house. (maybe someday )

Last car was a 96 stratus, 160k+. red paint that faded and became pink. and "autostick" which i abused every day

the door locks didn't work and if you pumped gas into it too fast it would spray right back out of the fuel opening and get all over the place.
