i haven't had anything worth writting about- ford ranger that was lowered and stereo. then there was my baby- ford focus- tons of mods (cams, ported heads, all bolt ons, exhaust, nitrous, etcc.). the focus is still my daily driver for work. 150k and still going strong. i also built an s10 with a stroked/injected small block chevy. that was my weekend ride and drag strip car. i also had an FZR600 that was painted, polished, lowered, engine was stroked, head was polished- also a weekend cruiser and drag strip ride. i then sold both the bike and truck to add to my down payment for my new benz. the focus is still, like i said, a daily driver. i also have an '81 kawasaki kz440 that i ride to work also. the benz is more or less a modified garage queen.

2005 C230WZ SS Capri Blue/Ash
Had a 1986 Buick Regal. Made it to look like a T-Type. That was from Mar 1991 until Mar 1996.
Then, had a bright red 1993 Ford Probe GT, 5-speed. Man was that car fun. No wonder it was Motor Trend's 1993 Car Of The Year. Had that car from Mar 1996 until Oct 2006. Yes, 10 1/2 years !! At which time I got my 2005 C230 in my sig below.
My Regal I sold it with over 150,000 miles.
My Probe was sold with nearly 190,000 miles.
My C230 bought with 13,025, and now only has about 28,500 miles.
Found some pics of my Probe.

My 1st car was a 1987 Suzuki samurai with 25,000 miles got that when i was about 12
2nd car was a 1999 kia sportage got that at about 14 with 48,000 miles
3rd car was first road car and not farm vehicle a 1997 infiniti j30 with 145,000 miles
then got my 2001 c320 about a year and a half ago which i wrecked yesterday right after i graduated from high school. Avoided a deer on a back road around a corner not speeding going 30 and the rear end came around and went head first into a hill. Estimates say it is about 2400 in damages. What a day and I leave for Florida tomorrow in my car. I will post pics
