I currently own two cars, even though I live with my parents (long story). I have a 2012 Kia Forte Hatchback EX, every option available. Love that little car. I put a short ram in when the warranty ran out this past September (I bought it 9/2011).
Still have the power train warranty. Really a blast to drive, has only been in the shop once, this last summer for a power window switch. Selling it soon unfortunately. Only 44k on it. Upgraded the speakers to Infinity with an 800 watt four channel mtx amp. Stock head unit with touchscreen nav.
My dad is driving my 2011 Kia Sorento SX, as his 2003 Honda Pilot isn't running. Once he fixes the Pilot, sells it, and buys a new car, I will get the Sorento back. Has every option but 4wd and DVD.
I've owned a lot of cars in 22 years of driving. The last four cars have been my faves.
I've had:
1983 Chevy Citation 2door, bought for $150. Trans blew after 6 months.
1988 Chevy Astro my parents gave me. It was burning oil, died after two months.
1987 Chrysler 5th Avenue loaded, 318 V8. Had for six months, was rear ended, car totaled. Such a pimp mobile.
1990 VW Passat my dad gave me. Biggest POS ever, always in the shop, at least once a month. Finally sold it.
1999 Honda Civic hatchback--Split it with my dad. He wanted me to have a new car, but was a cheap add bastard. 5 speed, crappy tires, no stereo. I put in a sound system, short throw shifter, led aluminum shift knob, CAI, Fatback exhaust. Totalled it a few days after my 21st birthday. Slid 300+ feet in the rain, put a Honda Accord on my hood through the windshield, pushed it into an Mercedes E190.
Had to go to a driver's rehab program at Marion Joy hospital, I was afraid to drive. After that, I've never had an at fault accident.
1990 Chevy Camaro RS 305 V8. T-tops. Owned it four years. Modded it for the local 1/8 mile strip and street use.
Holley heads, intake, and throttle body
Hooker headers
Flowmaster American thunder cat back, with chrome tips set 3" in from bumper to keep it stock.
Accel ignition,
Hypertech obd 1 chip
Accel distributor, plugs, wires
Accel air cleaner
Disabled EGR valve
Exhaust cutouts
Optima yellow AGM battery
Removed interior plastic trim in hatch to save weight. Came in at just under 3000lbs.
Kenwood head unit, speakers, amp. I don't do subs generally.
Don't remember my times on the track, but it came in at 425hp at the crank. It had a Ford 9" rear end, auto trans. GM manual was a POS, could handle much power. Looked totally stock.
Spent all my money on mods, never fixed other things. Door lock on passenger side didn't work (keyhole), driver's side door would freeze shut so I had to climb in through the hatch, then hold the door open lever and kick the driver door open from the passenger seat.
