There were a couple of others I used for some time, but nothing I owned personally.

For some reason I always think it'd be nice to have the Sigma still. It was the ugliest thing ever, but DAMN it was comfortable.

Here is my first car, got it when I was 17. Saved up some cheese working at a fast food joint and bought it. Mine was light brown though. Had a *****in' Aerosmith sticker on it.



Had it for about a year when it caught on fire in the drive thru of a McDonalds.

Then I went out and got a '92 Toyota Celica, it was red though. Loved that car. Went to Vegas, Havasu, all over in it.



Had that up until four years ago when I got a new car, totally sweet.

Celicas are my favorite cars, but I never got one... I just didn't want the new ones, prefer probably a '98, and for the money, I knew I could get something nice that was reliable (being the Pulsar)


Pop up lights! Totally futuristic man, I love it.


It should be noted, yours wouldn't be the only Horizon that has caught on fire in a McDonalds drive through. I believe that's how most of them have been destroyed.

The flip up lights were cool. Except when you have to change one of the lights. That sucked.

Talk about embarassing though when that car lit up. I laughed about it later but still, what a kick to the nads. I had to start a new job that day too. Had just gotten out of class, dropped a friend off and decided to get some grub. Luckily a fire engine had been driving by, stopped and doused it. Then left me there with a burned up car and a cheeseburger.

No, my paint job is much more sucky. Same bodystyle. I gots me a real pic somewhere, it's a ugly purple color, I always meant to repaint it, but never got time.

I love those old body styles. I should have got me a new truck years ago, but I enjoy driving with that huge steering wheel, and all that American Steel at my control...

Aight, here is the present, what I got, the old Suburban aint got an engine in it. A solid reminder of my White Trash status. And proudly so.

The pickup has some bird droppings on it, and the paint is faded, shoot, it's half rusted away, but I still can rip a respectable burn in it.
