My first car was a 198-something maroon Plymouth Turismo. My dad bought it used and rebuilt the engine. When he told me what it was I was like "A WHAT? What's a Turismo?" I drove that for a year and then my dad decided that it wasn't safe for me (the engine never did run reliably) so he got me a tan Toyotal Corolla 4 door. He bought it with 70,000 miles on it, put a newer engine in it (cause that one was about to "throw a rod", according to him), and I managed to put well over 100,000 miles on it. Man, there's some great memories I had with that car!!!

I kept it all through college and sold it my first year of grad school and bought a brand new Saturn SC2. I LOVED that car, then someone decided to T bone me in the drivers side...I guess she thought that red light in her turning lane overrode my green light. She totalled my car...bent the frame. Damn her!

After a year in a a 2001 Focus, I am now in a 2003 Saturn VUE and love it!

And that's my car story!
