Prior to P5s, what did you drive?

1998 honda accord was the every day driver i had a 1990 turbo talon for fun and also a 1992 dodge dakota with full air ride
 
except now i work at the ford dealership and we have a ms3 so perhaps i may switch it up a bit lols.....
 
I`m only 20, so don`t mind my lack of sweet cars!

My first car was a 97 black camry (I don`t think I have any pictures) It was just a real clean car to get to and from school, typical tinted windows and stereo. Great car, I probably should have kept it!

Second car was my baby. It is a 02 wrx (which is for sale currently FYI) that used to be fully track built pretty much. Its not stock because its for sale. Basic stage3 setup (STI turbo/intercooler/straight pipe etc 298whp), fully built suspension (my favorite!), and built brakes. Some other mods, but you get the idea. (wrc)
Some of my favorite pictures of her:
I spy racing seats/harnesses and a video camera:

Typically how she looks! Nice and clean and before my big rubber:

And what good sticky rubber does when it finds asphalt:

Recently I bought a 03 Red protege5 that I`m going to use for a daily and then once the WRX sells, build a miata for my toy. The main reason I went with the protege5 is b/c with college I want something with a lot of room, still fun for a daily, not too worried about it, and its super reliable!(2thumbs)
I`ll get some pictures eventually, but basically all I have done is tinted windows, hard wired in my passport 8500 and don`t plan much more for obvious reasons of wanting to build another car and keep this reliable/not a money pit. Things I still want for the protege5 are either buy a winter set of wheels/tires or a summer set of wheels/tires and turn my stockers into winter and maybe lower it eventually if I find a cheap deal on some springs.
Pictures: I`ll get them eventually.

600rwhp/600tq dd Dyno. Built twin turbo g35 6mt
HIN '08 show winner. Along with other shows. Currently not doing shows anymore. Started de-modding the showy stuff and making it a street monster.

I picked up the p5 last month as my beater. 5mt and some random mods I threw on to keep it comfortable. Tires. Ss. Tint. Hids. Stubby antenna. Radio navi. Oil drain valve. Gonna do a roof rack for snowboarding trips and that's prob it.


Oo since I saw bikes. I had a sv650s 2003. Not the crazy sport bike but it was my commute to school. Carpool lane in rush hour traffic win.
