Automobiles

Oh cars. You can't live without them, and you don't want to need them.

Dad always wanted us to have our own cars and not share them. After I got my first job in 2003, Dad suggested that I get my own car. I was looking for a Jeep Wrangler but they were impossible to find for a good price. Turns out that a 1992 Camaro RS could be had for $3,562 on ebay. For seven years I tried to restomod this car, but an accident in 2010 totaled it. It's replacement was a 2010 Synergy Green Limited Edition Camaro that was just awful. In 2017, I bought a second 1992 Camaro RS for $6,200 and I've made as much progress with it as the first third gen. In 2018 or 19, the 2010 had a failure related to the timing chain and the cost of the repairs outweighed the value of the vehicle so I sold it then took the money and bought a 1998 Jeep Wrangler TJ that had everything wrong with it. It was a much better deal than the 2010 except for the used car dealer in Chicago essentially selling it as stolen. That was fun.

As far as dream cars go, I only really had three but after playing a lot of Forza 3 in the early 2000s I gained an appreciate for the Lotus Exige Sport S.
