1st car: A white 1978 Dodge Colt with a black vinyl top. I only had it a few months before it threw a rod, but I still have fond memories. I learned to drive in it and went everywhere explorering small back roads with it.

2nd Car: Blue 1987 Plymouth Horizon. Totaled it after 3 years. Not much to say, I considered it transportation.

3rd Car: Red 1988 Plymouth Horizon. My 1st car with honest-to-god A/C! I remember the car fondly if only for that. (Got laid a couple of times in it as well)

4th (Current) Car: 1998 Pontiac Firebird. Expensive to maintain(stuff is always breaking), has an OK engine but not a racer, I personally think it's a pretty-looking car. It's paid for and unless it costs more to maintain it than it does to buy a new car, I'll probably keep it another 4 or 5 years.

A Ferrari 356 Spyder. I wanted a Modena, but I couldn't wait that long.

My dad said if I get good grades this year I can have a Modena too.

He better follow through, I'll have earned it.

Chevrolet Citation X11. Not sure on the year, think it was an 85 or 86. My parents still have it in their driveway though it doesn't get driven much anymore, but it still runs pretty well last I saw.

LOL, I think you're getting the Porsche 356 of the 50's mixed up with the Ferrari 360 Spider of today.

I think he actually meant a Ferrari 355 Spyder of the 90's (predecesor to the 360 Modena).
