I'm pretty rough on my vehicles and I've went through a few of them in the nine years I've been driving. I drive em like I stole em and tend to forget changing the oil and only replace tires when they are beyond bad. Here is a tribute to all of my cars and what went wrong with them.
My first car was a white Dodge Omni with a hatch back and red interior it was pretty sweet, so sweet it got stolen.
Next was the only standard I've owned, a small blue Chevette which was a ton of fun to drive. When it broke down on me on the highway I traded it for my next car.
A blue Plymouth Reliant, and reliable it was for quite some time, I don't really remember what went wrong with it but I sold it for forty bucks just to get it out of my hair.
I paid a thousand dollars for my red Ford Tempo and it lasted me for a good three years. I had to replace the transmission on it and it had a nice size dent from an old lady hitting me in Dillion's parking lot. I really cannot tell you how many tires I replaced before I had a much needed alignment done on it. I sold it for a hundred dollars after I bought my next car.
I paid just under two thousand for my white Pontiac Bonneville which has by far been my most luxurious car to date. I knocked the passenger side mirror off the day after I bought it, but that car lasted me a little more than three years. It died a few months back while my husband had it out fishing.
My Pontiac van was bought for me by my Mom, and it didn't last long because the transmission went out on it. That was a waste of twelve hundred bucks, espcially since it costs more than that to replace the tranny.
I now have a Toyota Corolla, I got a bargain on it and I'm the second owner. It's lasted about three months so far...we shall see what happens with it.
It seems like I'm missing something....I think there was a silver Cadillac somewhere in the mix.
With the thousands I've spent on all these I could be driving something a little nicer....not that I would keep it that way for long.

Reasons not to buy a new car. lol it will get banged up anyways, so why not get a bumber car?
ReplyDeleteHa this made me laugh. That is alot of cars to go through in 9 years. You have definitely had some experience with different kinds of cars. You would be a good test to see if a car is really sturdy.
ReplyDeleteThey just don't make them like they used too...lol
