A 1989 Porsche 944S2 Cabriolet, like this one:

What model is that? I always thought capri was a late 70's-early 80's car.

mine would have to be a '98 mustang. i don't know what my sister was thinking then, but i didn't break it. then i got to drive it again a couple months later on the snow. god that was so much fun.

btw, my grand am i got ??last week?? (my first car) was traded in by a 79 year old lady. and i was wondering, how am i supposed to get an old lady smell out of a car, anybody know? the car had 49749 miles on it when i got it, and they wanted 5900 for it, not a bad deal. (the old lady smell is a combo of terrible smelling perfume and dead/stail(sp?) air, it isn't pleasant)

Hah, yeah, GM's Grand Am/Alero platform stinks. Even the new ones. They either smell like pet stores or burnt purfume. It's horrible, really. When I was doing the service drivethrough job at my dealership I'd have to get someone's Alero and it was sitting in 95 degree heat in the sun all day and I'd get in it and get dizzy and nearly throw up from the horrible smell.
You can buy Odor Eliminator stuff from car places(probably AutoZone or something) but in your case you might want to coat the whole interior with several layers of spray and just let it sit in the garage closed up for several days and it might just work.

My first drive was on my 14th birthday in a 1988 Mazda 323, on a motorcyle training course (basically a big flat tarmac square). There was a big container thing in one corner and yes, I managed to hit it. Only took a bit of paint off the front right corner, though.

When I was 9 years old I used to drive an old WWII Land Rover around the fields in Dorset. Thats how I learned to drive so young.

1983 Dodge Aries 2.2. 3 speed automatic. Perhaps one of the few cars that can lose to a Mini Trail in a drag race. Dad let me floor it, which isn't saying much. On our 0.4 mile long horseshoe-shaped neighborhood with two corners, I couldn't build enough speed to brake in the corners.

First stick: 1994 Chevrolet Cheyenne 3500 dump truck. Erh, I backed it up and hooked up a trailer. Not much fun

Gah, how could you do that to the 323!
Still have it? Sedan or Hatch(5 door, wagon?).
