Exactly 10 years ago from this day I crashed my first car (badly). I bent the control arm, bashed in the front of my bumper, popped my 2 front tires and had my life flash before my eyes. I won't get into the details but all I have to say is....poor stop sign, it never did anything to me but try to save my life from oncoming traffic. And on that fateful night I plowed into it. I remember the horror I felt that night and I will NEVER EVER be that reckless again...EVER, and so far in the past 10 years I have lived up to my word.

Anyways thinking back makes me think of all the good times my first car gave me and all the hardships it put on me just from breaking down all the time! It was a 1992 Hyundai Scoupe, click here for specs. 81hp! haha. I owned the car for 2 years (96-98) and it was such a beater (partly from the way I treated it), but for a car of only 4 years old it acted like it was 10+ years (just from all the breaking down of parts). It was laid to rest in the early Winter of 98 when an idiot rear ended me hard on the way to school and it became a right off.

Mine was exactly the same as this one, well mine was black, but besides that it looked exactly like this. Heh now seeing this I sorta want to buy one as a winter beater. I'm sure I could find one for $500 and maybe this time around I'll have a bit better luck with it (since I will definitely treat it 100x better than I did with the previous one).
