| William's Other Cars Page |
This page has a little bit about some of the numerous vehicles that William has owned over the years.
| The Celebrity |
| The CRX |
| The Eagle |
Way back in the day William got his first car, a 1985 Chevy Celebrity with the 2.5L Tech 4 Iron Duke and a 3 speed automatic.
Aside from the interior it was almost exactly the same as my 87 Buick Century. This car was put through absolute hell, as
nearly anyone who knew William back in the day could tell you. Then on one fateful day (the same one my Buick died) he burned
a hole through one of the pistons and soonafter sold it to Bryan quite cheaply.
Late one night a few months later we took it out and finished her off properly out in the country, completely blowing the engine in
the process. Nathan towed it home with the Silver Bullet and for the next few weeks it sat in Bryan and Matthew's yard where we
beat it all to hell with bats, clubs, and other assorded instruments of destruction. Billy even rammed it with Purple a few times
and parked up on top of the hood for a photo or two. The last I knew of it, it was sitting out at Effner junkyard, but that junkyard is
gone now so it's hard to say what happened to the remains.

A few days after William sold the Eagle to his dad, he bought his cousin's 1985 Honda Civic CRX. This was a fun little 2
seater that had a 1.5L SOHC 16 valve cylinder and a 5 speed stick. It actually ran suprisingly when you consider it had over
150,000 miles on it. The thing I remember best about the CRX is that William once managed to stuff himself and 4 of our
dumb buddies in it like a clown car. William didn't have this one too long either, it got traded off on his Prelude after he broke a
subframe jumping railroad tracks one night.

Right after he burned through the piston in the Celebrity, William bought a 85 AMC Eagle sedan. This 4 wheel drive car was a
lot of fun, but unfortunately it had a lot of problems so he didn't have it particularly long. His dad, who had urged him to buy it in
the first place, bought it off of him with plans of restoring it. He never got around to doing much with it though and eventually
sold it in 2004.

| The Blazer |
After having the CRX subframe repaired by a local welder, William decided to trade it off before anything else broke on it. So, he
found this kick ass little black 94 Honda Prelude. I guess the 2.2L 4 cylinder just proved to be a little too much for him. On a icy
winter night he flipped (and totalled) it on the highway outside of town two days after he bought it.

After William totaled his Prelude, he bought a 1993 Chevy S-10 Blazer (2wd). It has a 4.3L V-6 and 4 speed automatic
transmission. I guess he finally learned his lesson about wrecking cars, because to date (March 2006) he's still driving this
thing with nearly 200,000 miles on it. I recall him once wanting to drag race my 94 Beretta with it not long after he got it...
needless to say I completely ate his lunch that day.
We've had a lot of good times in that Blazer... I'm honestly starting to think he's gonna wind up driving this thing forever cause it
just won't die.

The Punkin' never was William's vehicle, but I have a section for it on this page because it served as interim transportation
whenever one of his older cars was having trouble. The Punkin' was actually Kedric's truck, but they sold it in the Summer of
2002. It was an old orange Dodge 1/2 2wd ton pickup with a 225c.i. slant 6 and a 4 speed stick.
The most memorable thing about the Punkin' was that it spark knocked horribly and had no exhaust on it, so it sounded just
like a big diesel truck. I also remember William crashing into the trees at school with it while parking several times, but then
again most of us did that.
Ah, the fond memories these writing bring me.
