okay, here's it all in fairness.

1st car: 1987 Mazda B2200 pickup. frame cracked, almost broke in half, unsafe to drive, had to send her to the scrapyard *sniffles*

2nd car: aforementioned 1987 Jeep Cherokee Laredo. excellent machine, loved it to death, but it cost me a fortune to keep full of gas when I was still only working 2 days a week for my mum. didnt make enough to save AND keep it full of gas. sold it in favour of something with better fuel economy.

3rd car: 1991 chevrolet cavalier. bought for better fuel economy. sold it a year later because it was a maintenance nightmare. things were constantly going wrong with it as a result of many past years of neglect (which were apparent once i started to work on it). Father's friend and dealer in used cars stopped by one night with a 2001 Saturn SC1 for my to test drive, to see if I liked it.

4th car: 2001 Saturn SC1

and i'm keeping this baby until there's no more oil in the ground, cause i love it to death

*hugs his plastic car*
