Steve Jones' Cars

What's this about?

Turns out I'm just like every other red-blooded American guy, in that I like cars. Fast cars, sports cars, loud cars, cool cars -- all that stuff. I like to think I'd enjoy working on them too, if I had a garage to do it in. One of the many trade-offs to living in Manhattan during the week, and a compelling reason to stop doing that...

So this small slice of the Web is about cars. My cars, cars I like, whatever I feel like prattling on about.

Cars I've Owned

Seems like a good place to start. In order, they would be:

1975 Buick Century Straight six, automatic The 17'9" Bondomobile
1976 Toyota Celica 4-cyl, 5 speed My first "sportscar"
1988 Honda CRX 4-cyl, 5 speed My first post-Disco car
1985 Porsche 944 2.5 liter 4-cyl, 150HP '87 engine, 5 speed My first "real" sportscar.
1987 Porsche 944S 2.5 liter 4-cyl, 190HP engine, 5 speed Picked it up 25 April 1998. Smokin'!
1988 Volkswagen Golf 4-cyl, 5 speed Winter car while 944S sleeps

The last two are the only ones currently in my possesion. I lost track of the Buick, but the rest have gone to that great parts yard in the sky. And Peter, if you're out there, I still hate you for junking the Celica without asking me first...
