Oh I hear you on that! Had a cheap 110 camera that I used so owning a camera wasn't my issue. Getting film developed was! Mind you to this day a roll of film will show up randomly and when I get it developed (if it is still any good) the pictures are always a pleasant surprise!

I had a 2000 Camry given by family that I manage to run over the falling rock with in the mountains pass. (Those rocks were in motion, I dodged 3 but still ran over a smaller one) Had to change the entire exhaust to fix it afterword...

I still don't get how that exhaust just hangs so low from factory while the car is pretty damn high! Lexus es300 from the same time are exactly the same.

I get us old guys in the take a pic, fill the roll, take it to be developed, put the pics someplace where you will ever find them again days not having them but anybody from the cell phone era would be thought to have them.
I probably have 50 times more pics of the FRS than I have of all my other cars put together.

I had a friend do a photo shoot of my first car (the aforementioned '79 Plymouth Horizon TC3), and I have an excellent picture he took posted in a 'Senior Memories' book, but I have no scanning skills to get it electronically...so when you stop by my home in Cincy on your way to that party down south, I'll show you, Tcoat!

haha, that would've been nice. it would've been better if it came with a mechanic so i wouldn't have had to keep fixing it. have to learn somehow though, i guess.

My first car was a 95 eclipse GSX that I bought at the age of 17, man I really miss that car. I was so lucky at finding this mint eclipse. At this time I would never buy one again since it's a dam needle in the haystack finding a good one but if I could go back intime I would have never sold it for a Evo.

I had a 2011 Silverado before the FRS. I had a lot of interesting experiences throughout high school in the old beast. Lots of trips to the desert hooning the ever living fuck out of it on dirt. I was fortunate that my parents let me have it at 16. Many people have the idea that kids whose parents bought them new cars never appreciate them. Not me. I never took that truck for granted because I had a safe, reliable truck with amenities that didn't make my life a living hell and a way to take my dirt bikes and fishing gear places.

It had 22 inch rims when we got it and never bothered getting rid of even though they rubbed. Then this happened...

So on went new tires and wheels because the old set rubbed like crazy.

My first car was a 1986 Audi Coupe GT that I bought for $1000. Found one of the previous owners had hacked the body shell for a booming system (removed before selling). Parted it out to fix up a 1987 Coupe GT with straight body, bad engine. That got totaled by someone violating my right of way a few weeks after I got it running again. Bought a 1985 Coupe GT, which I regretted selling shortly after I bought my first brand new car, a 2005 Impreza 2.5RS. You might say I really like the Audi Coupe's. lol

I would probably never own another Audi Coupe GT, but hope one day I'll have it's big brother; the ur quattro.

2013 Dodge Dart SXT - the NON turbo one. Auto.
Bought it in February? 2013.
It's a great car for the value, i got it brand new for 18k flat. Dad cosigned, so my rate was 4.5% which isn't too bad considering I had little to no credit.
Do I like it? Yes, I get great gas mileage, long trips are cake, and it has 4 doors. It's not fast at all but it gets me where I need to go.
As soon as I get back stateside in a few weeks and do all my leave nonsense, I'll be looking for a used brz limited. There's a used 13 with 14k miles at a dealer a few miles up the road, I might shoot them a message and see if they can hang on to it for me!

I test drove both the non turbo SXT and the turbo Rallye back when I was looking to change and was more impressed by the SXT then the turbo.
The turbo had so much lag that I am pretty sure I had dropped the car off and was home on the couch before it actually kicked in.

Oh god yeah...

When it got towed away for good my parents didnt know there was a full keg in the back.

Never got a hold of a tap >_<

Long story. Ah to be young.
