1985 Dodge Aries K CAR....lol generic blue 4 door 2.2L 3 speed auto, put MANY, many a mile on that car....beat the daylights out of it and it NEVER left me stranded, AWESOME car!! Even jumped it racing the empty grain truck across the field. Bought it for $1200 @ a Red Deer car auction and 4 years later sold it for $900 in the Yukon @ another car auction. lol Miss that car!!!

Next bought a brand new 1998 Dodge Dakota...

Why is the general consensus here

"(insert vehicle here) damn I drove the crap out of that thing. Did so many burn outs."

Because no one is perfect like you. Not your vehicle, don't worry about it.

Bought my first car, a 1990 Buick Century Limited when I was 18 in 05. Paid $1800, first years insurance for pl/pd was $1807. That alone immidently wrote itself off. It was white with the softest blue velour interior. The AM/FM radio never worked also it had a pontiac steering wheel. I never asked why. After the torque converter locked up and stayed locked up in OD 4th gear I got concerned and gave it to the kidney car foundation.

1989 dodge omni GLH 5 speed with the turbo. that little k-car would go 265km/hr but holy ch!t it was scary! I worked at the ski hill in slave lake then when it was still open on the weekends and me and the boys would rally race up that goat trail at 130 140km/hr!!! spent many hours in the ditch waiting for buddies to come give us a tow.... but that gave us lots of time to drink beers and back then we drank southern comfort and orange juice.mmmmm. I guess turbo juice has been in my blood since my first car back in high school...

aaaaaaaah the memories! hahaha

Never said anything was wrong with it. Never said i was perfect, just found it funny.

You sound jealous....

Jealous that i choose not to drive the chit out of my vehicle?

most people got their first vechiles when they were young and didn't care about repairs or cost of tires and fuel i know i didn't....you will understand when your old enough to drive.

I only hope one day i will be old enough to drive:rolleyes:
