as me andryan were talkin in Chop shop he asked me what made me choose the car i own, so w thought what made you all choose the car you own today whether or not you chose it because its all you can afford or you jus love it... Me i chose my 98 montero because i was 12 when we got it and i grew on to it, i like the 4 wheel drive and the fact it never let us down....when my dad wanted to get rid of it for a jeep liberty(***** car) i bought it off him for 1500...the reason im KEEPING it is because i have a lot of fun fixing it up, it runs beutiful and looks great (even during body work)...i ave a history for it

 

lol, thats a touching story.... lol

 

lol it is it is

 

Well, since we got two of these goin on now.... lol oops which came first?

 

Motor Trends centerfold, circa 1991 was the time I fell for Stealths. I was a senior at the time and obviously couldn't afford a $40,000 car, but knew I would have one some day. It took awhile to find the right one...

 

All it took for me was a test drive

 

to tell ya the truth... i didnt know anything about eclipses and the two different motors... but i've alwaysloved the way it looked and one of my friends had had one for a little while... so i got it, and now i realize it was a great idea! except for the whole "rs" thing, but i plan on selling within this year for a gsx.. chyea! haha

 

B/c someone told that driving an eclipse gets you all the ladies.

 

haha, now you get to tell others that from experience!

 

I had three cars that I narrowed it down to...a V8 Mustang, an Eclipse, and my car. I'm too short for the Mustang as the instrument cluster hood is too high up for me, so I would have had to raise the seat just to have a good view (I was very used to the Acura's front view) and I don't remember it having that option of raising the seat....and I kept smashing my hand on the freakin' radio during shifting for not paying attention to the shifter and it's location, do forbid if my hand slipped. I don't even know how or why I kept punching the radio put that impression stayed with me.
The Eclipse, I liked a lot (GS-T) except for the backseats which I used often (for friends and shop "fieldtrips"). I even sold Mitsubishis a year later, lol. Besides that, it was a good experience.
My car was just the "grown up" version of the Eclipse..grown up as in longer, lol. That worked out really good too because I had some tall friends that had plenty of room in the back. I opted for the V6 over the 420a version because I just got out of a 4 cylinder 1Ga Acura Integra manual 2dr hatch. I loved that car because it had pep, but hated the manual options. Anyway, I went with the V6 because I wanted a bigger motor, man was that a bad idea, lol. It was sort of a motor promotion...how wrong was I back then.
I should have just gotten the GS-T and made my buddies walk, lol.
