1. honda prelude ( mine )
2.Chrysler sebring ( sisters )
3.Chrysler Pacifica ( moms )
4.Ford F-350 ( dads )

Sorry, I forgot to explain... XD

The Honda Fit will be sold to buy the Ford Fusion They're my father's. The Grand Caravan and the Corcel II are both my mothers: The GC is the one she uses every day and the Corcel, well, it was her first car and she kept it, mostly because it's very conserved and it's worth nothing nowadays. And she lets me drive it.

Let's see, out of my whole family, we have:

1964.5 (1965) Ford Mustang GT (5.0L V8) 3-Spd Manual
1966 Chevrolet Corvair Monza Convertible
1982 BMW 320i 5-Spd Manual
2001 Mazda Protoge ES 5-Spd Manual
2004 Honda Civic EX 5-Spd Manual
2005 Dodge Dakota V8 6-Spd Manual

We used to have:

199- Mercury Villager Automatic
198- Honda Civic 5-Spd Manual
1968 Toyota Celica Liftback 4-Spd Manual

The Mercury was a piece of crap, we got rid of it.
The Honda was too old, I don't remember how many miles it had on it.
The Celica still had some life in it until my brother ran it without oil on his way back from L.A. Broke the camshaft in half and tore the engine to shreds.

Your brother will die a long, painful death

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 17 Oct 2006, 04:38

I know, he has bad luck with anything mechanical and any sort of electronics. He's always getting pissed because his computer doesn't work, and before he killed the Celica, someone had tossed Oreo's at it. He didn't bother cleaning off the ones that stuck. He just drove around with a bunch of Oreo's on it.

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 18 Oct 2006, 04:51

why would he drive around with oreos stuck on his car ? saving them for later or what

you guys must really like those fiestas do you get them for fuel economy ?

RSZETEC · Post by **RSZETEC** » 30 Nov 2006, 06:37

Mines definately not for fuel economy drinks fuel like no ones business

, but my mum bought her one cos its a little 1.25litre motor and the fuel cost on the rs2000 cos its a 2.2 running on carbs was too much for everyday and my girlfriends one....well she was given it for her first car

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 30 Nov 2006, 06:41

what size engine is in yours 2.0L ?

RSZETEC · Post by **RSZETEC** » 30 Nov 2006, 07:36

Nah its just the 1.6 but ford just made the 1.6 zetecs as a base engine and they werent designed as good as the 1.8 or 2.0's so they suffered in fuel economy and plus mines got various mods done and they have made it worse. will be a 2.0 soon tho

Post by **TheStig** » 01 Dec 2006, 02:44

You really must love Ford in general.... can't see why but he... esspecailly the Escort and Fiesta but he it's your party.

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 01 Dec 2006, 04:39

over here fiestas are seen as small crappy economy cars that take what seems like hours to get up to 60 mph (100 km/h)
