First car,
'81 Fiat Spider 2000 (very fun car, quick, and it taught me a lot about how cars work because I had to fix it all the time) Fix It Again Todd
'77 911S Targa Black
'78 911SC Coupe Ugly Metallic Blue (not stock color)
'76 VW Westfalia Bus (couldn't afford to maintain Porsche in school)
'81 911SC Coupe Turd Brown (whew, I finally got another 911)
Today's car, 1990 Carrera 4 Diamond Blue. I could go on and on...such a better car. Modern. ABS, Airbags, AWD...and 250BHP!!!
Not too bad, 4 911's by my 29th bday. I've never paid anyone to work on any of them (except tires, alignment, etc) <img border="0" alt="[blabla]" title="" src="graemlins/a_smil17.gif" /> .....
