Cars

 

My current car is a black two door 2003 Chevy Caviler LS, and a very cool radio. I really like this car! I am going to get some rims, tint the windows, put a nice spoiler on it, find some bikig/race decals, and fog lights.

Note the car and bike match
   

My third car was one I really did not like, even when I got it, but it was all I was willing to pay at the time. My second (and last!) lease. A 2001 Chevy Prism (not Geo, Chevy), the only reason I bought a car this cheap was because it was black (and cheap)... It was underpowered, the non-ABS brakes were underpowered, it did turn sharper then the 98 Caviler. It was a four door, that was nice, but it was real base no power windows, but did have power locks, and cruse. But, other then that I really did not like it. I turned it in in June of 2003 right at the three year 45,000 mile limit (I put 45,000 miles on it in two years). Then I got billed $600 for damage and non-OEM wheel covers, you should have seen the letter I wrote GMAC over the wheel covers.

  
   
My second car was a leased 1998 Chevy Caviler, near base model, two-door, light metallic blue, leased from June 1998 to May 2001. This was a much nicer car from the van. It had ABS, more power, it ran all the time, got WAY better gas mileage, the only thing I did not like was the color, it was either the blue one or a very ugly white one on the dealer lot. This car was other then that unremarkable. I went over on the mileage and had to pay an extra $800 when I turned it in.
   
My first car was a black 1985 Dodge Ram B-250 Royal SE, full size van, known as The Van. From approximately March 1995, to approximately June 1998. This big old thing had a 318-V8 engine with a two-barrel carburetor, it had over three-hundred thousand (300,000) highway miles on it when my dad and I bought it. Between my dad and I we spent some $5,000 worth of parts and repairs, transmission, many sets of u-joints (the drive shaft was one big piece with small u-joints on it), a paint job, two sets of brakes, two carburetors, one distributor, wires, many sets of spark plugs (it burned oil), a set of tires and rims. This thing got 10 miles per gal in the city, and 15 highway, it took $40 a week to fill this thing up (and that was when gas was $1.20 a gallon), oh and you always had to use mid-grade to get rid of the spark knock. The timing had to be set by hand, it would not run good when set to factory spec. When it was wet out, the engine had to be driven two-footed for a long time or it would stall at a stop (we were never able to find that problem), good thing this thing was an automatic. Well, after three years I got rid of it, it used too much gas, and I was starting at Walsh College that fall and wanted something nicer.
