1995 Lexus GS300 - chugs gas..but nice when riding with the girl.

1995 civic dx coupe - Interesting Story -

I got my first commuting job and was borrowing the civic from a friend while i looked around for other cars, but loved it so much, I just bough it from him. A year into owning it, I rear ended someone(incidentally, and randomely turned out to be a friend from my church) during stop and go on the highway. Me and my girl were making the drive from SF to LA when I asked her to hold the steering wheel while I pulled my jacket over my head to take it off. Just my luck, while the jacket was pulled over my head, traffic comes to a dead stop and I go boom into my friends car. Totally random. My hood's crunched in, fluid all over the place, my head cracked the windshield because I had temporarily taken my seatbelt off. Anyways, get it towed back and everyone's telling me that it's gone and it's totalled. So I'm thinking of selling it for $300. I feel like the luckiest man on earth when I get $1300 for it(the very next day after posting on Craigslist). The thing was that the buyers were responsible for contacting my friend(who still owned the title to the civic) in order to transfer the title.

***4 months later***

I had bought a 95 Lexus GS300, and was pretty happy.

I get a call from the people who bought my civic, a frantic lady on the other end accusing me of not working with her to get the title(which I did). So she goes on to tell me that everything is fixed, and she even asks me if I can buy it back, FOR THE SAME PRICE I SOLD IT FOR because they can't drive it, or sell it without the title. So to make a long story short, I ended up buying it back for $1400 bucks. And get this, all it needed was a new hood, a new radiator and 2 headlights. The radiator support just needed a little bending back into place. Anyways, I gave my Lexus to my girl and I drive the Civic around. It's awesome on Gas and it's fun to drive!

I had 3 cars (the last 3 on the list besides my current one) at the time. My parents decided we were going to move to an island, and I was ready to start on something new (though I kind of regret it now), so I sold all my cars. It's not all bad though; I made $18k off the S14.
