cars of my life, post yours

curious to see which cars people had up until now

here's my story, probably not as many cars in my life as compared to others
(i'll try to update with real photos...have to find and scan those)
when i was just born my dad bought a new white zastava 101 mediteran.....drove it for 12 years and then sold to his friend, who's still driving it, before moving to canada


in canada he decided to go french, and bought a few years old red renault alliance (i can't recall the year....'86 or so)


then back to homeland, and he ended up with a beige lada samara, year '90 i believe


next car happened in '96, he got a renault 5


then we come back to canada, and i'm moving out........yay!!!

my first car i ever drove was my boyfriend's (now husband) '94 blue eagle talon.......beautiful car....hold lots of special memories.....something about hatchback makes it so versatile :o:cheesygri

so sad when we sold it....

he decided to buy a car for himself and not listen to me, and got the worst car ever heh
a charcoal 2005 v6 altima.......and of course i ended up driving that pos every day to work for 70km since he started to bike to work.......after a year i was fed up with that awful car, and decided to trade it in
no photo

for my very first car, that i chose myself, and paid for myself..........my pride, and joy, my first love i hoped to drive forever
my baby 2006 golf tdi......i loved my car, babied my car, only to have it totaled 11 months ago.....still miss my little black car


while i still had the golf, husband decided he wanted a bigger car after kids came, so we bought a 2009 vw passat station wagon.......it's a people mover, stuff mover...does the job....still have it, it's officially his car, and i take it out on a rare occasion


so this year in february after i finally got money from the insurance, i had to replace my little golf, and i made a big mistake of getting a 2013 golf tdi, and hating it more than i hated the altima.......it became a rebound car
here it is beside my new baby on the trade-in day in july..........
and here's hoping for a LONG LOVING relationship with my frs.......so far so good


my new love with snow tires (i seem to be getting more hate than love for the choice of the pink girly wheels :| all that matters is i like :razz: )

It looks very...girly! lol I'm sure that was the intent, so that's all that matters

Curious as to why you hated the '13 TDI so much?

yes, girly was the intent

the 2013 golf was more of a disappointment of how it was nothing like the old 2006, but i wasn't a fan of the ride anyway
i found it sort of bouncy, it didn't feel solid, and it sort of wandered on the road instead of tracking straight
i also didn't like the dsg....when i tested it didn't feel as bad, but maybe i got some weird one because it had a mind of it's own, especially when you want to go, and it takes 30 seconds before it suddenly jerks you forward

don't ask why i bought it when i didn't care for it.....i'd like to know the answer too

Your pink-accented white wheels look great, perfect for a young woman and her wonderful sportscar. I'm guessing they also may offer some protection, acting as a spouse-repellent so your husband doesn't take your new car out and risk wrapping it around a pole in the snow. With those wheels he doesn't dare drive it. LOL!

[Note: The above is said in kindly, good humor, not nastiness. Enjoy your new car!)
