      I'd always wanted a Mustang (at least since I was 10) and so I got a job to be able to afford one. Knew I had to get a v8 one since the V6's were gay, and this was the only V8 one I could afford at the time so I jumped on it. Though I don't really regret purchasing it, I wish it was a 5spd and didn't have a salvage title.

        A Supra has been my realistic(or not so realistic when I first wanted one) dream car as long as I can remember. Too bad it wasn't the right time.

        At first I did it for fun, then I realized I made the investment and had to do it!

                As far as my Suburban it was too hard to see out the back window of a Blazer with two dual 12" boxes (4 total) on top of each other so I got something bigger and better, since it was a Texas truck no rust and absolute perfect condition, my Grand Am was an easy choice......under 4grand and 35mpg, 5spd was a must it just came before I saw anything else, great work car cheap and easy to work on

                  Because it was something nice, within my budget, and right here in Fargo. Plus, Car & Driver named this chassis to its '10 best list' during all 8 years of production.

                      because i wanted an awd, turbo car and couldn't afford a wrx at the time. plus I got a pretty good deal. I wanted something to work on, and I got my wish, but I wanted to work on making it faster not just fixing the damn thing. Although it's ran pretty well for the last 3 or so months. jinx

                            cause it wasnt a mustang....

                            And the Maxima is ghetto, low key, and a pos....

                            On the other hand a new car is in the works as soon as I make up my mind.

                                I bought mine because I was hooked on Mustangs after I drove a 2003 GT when our truck blew a spark plug in Nebraska. I bought mine because I loved the color, it had the 5.0, was a 5spd and was babied its entire life. I also got a pretty good deal on the car.

                                    Because i wanted coupe, AWD and more options for reliable upgrades than any other car i can find. Plus, a billion years of reliable rally must have taught them something.

                                      because tahoes are pimp...

                                      wanted to dump the explorer for something more reliable and wanted a fullsize so that down the road I can pull a loaded 18' dovetail if the cards so fall that direction. Was looking at fullsize x-cab pickups when I found the Tahoe. Tahoe rode better than the pickups, turned a shitbunch better in tight areas, had plenty of room in back for all the shit I tend to carry around, and will work good if I so happen to get married and have kids in the next 5-10 years. Also found out it was a babied 1 owner and the price was only about $6k over my budget. :eek:

                                      Then in the long run it'll still haul if necessary.

                                      Next car will hopefully be a 96-98 SVT cobra in black. Why? Like the body style the best, quick enough out of the box to keep me entertained, and boatloads of potential.
