History of my rides
Automobiles are one of my most expensive and obsessive hobby. My 1st ride was a 1982 Toyota Corolla RWD coupe, then a 1996 Chevy Corsica V6 Sedan, a 1997 Mercury Cougar XR-7 30th Anniv (4.6L v8), followed by a 1999.5 Audi A4 1.8t, and last but not least my current 2002 Mercedes-Benz C230 kompressor coupe. I started getting into aftermarket modifications seriously with the Cougar but the initial jolt was with a K&N filter change on the Chevy sedan. Below are some pictures and description of the rides...
