99 Mitsubishi Galant ES - Leased

It was my very first car. I liked it a lot, especially the exterior styling. But it doesnt compare to my Lexus obviously.

82 chevy chevette
90 ford probe
97 prelude
2000 landcruiser

I will always the chevette because it was my first car. No AC..no power steering...and top speed was only up to 50. Heck, it got me from A to B.

'95 Ford Bronco - my college car. A love/hate relationship. I loved it when it wasn't in the shop for repairs.

'98 Ford Expedition - you would think I would have learned my lesson about Ford reliability. What a POS...the tranny had to be replaced twice in less than eight months (along w/ numerous other problems). I only had this car a year before trading it in for my GS.
