My history is even shorter, having only owned 2 cars and had 2 others on loan. 1986 S-10 Blazer 4x4 - With the 2.8 V6, 5-speed and offroad package. This was my mother's but became essentially mine as of my 16th because Mom could no longer drive it. Surprisingly reliable little SUV, worked well for me and for the family until it started eating CV joints. UNderpowered though, that 2.8 was reliable but couldn't get out of its own way in an SUV. 1988 1/2 Subaru Justy AWD with the 5 speed. My first car. Lots of fun to drive, lots of money to fix. Got me around for quite awhile until I blew a main bearing seal at highway speed. A new block cost more than the car did. GREAT pizza delivery car. $20 in gas got me through a week. 1986 BMW 325i - Had this on loan from my Grandmother for a summer. A real blast to drive, beautiful handling. Was getting long in the tooth by the time I had it (summer of 1999). 1994 Eagle Vision ESi. My mother bought this to replace the S-10 in 95, I bought it off her a couple years ago. Reasonably reliable, comfortable, roomy, great highway car. Has the bulletproof 3.3L engine. A big car with mid-size mileage, good looks and lots of visibility. Parallel parking always is hard because it's difficult to tell where the car begins and ends due to hood/tail curvature. Really wish Chrysler had something comparable today. -- M.
