First, though I didn't own it: 1988 BMW 325, did nothing to it because I didn't really have to. It had everything I wanted/needed for European roads, including a very comfortable back seat with decent stress support and variable recoil absorbers.
Second: 1986 Ford Tempo, did nothing to it because it was senseless to try and resurrect what was obviously a stepping stone to a disastrous end. First car I ever owned, it was worth exactly what I paid for it, which was about $2000. Met Final Death outside of Ranger, TX on I-20, whereupon I told the wrecker guy he could keep it because I wasn't putting half a grand into a new engine block.
Third: 1996 Ford Tempo, did nothing to it because I didn't have it very long. Perfectly functional car, vastly superior to its older predecessor. Met an unnecessary end at the hands of a retard in a Chevy Cavalier on the corner of Tank Destroyer Blvd. and Kawakalna Drive on Fort Hood, where the damage to the left rear wheel well warped the frame of the car and effectively totalled it.
Current: 1997 Ford Ranger XLT, have done nothing to it except install a 6-disc CD player so I can have constant beats no matter how long the road trip ends up being, and a Rhino liner for the bed that has proven itself able to withstand any bombardment. Fair-to-middling road mileage, great engine, decent accel., and the capacity for cargo hauling without sacrificing nimbleness for size. I love the smaller trucks. I plan to keep this one for a decade if at all possible, unless I win the lottery and then I'll end up replacing it with that 850i. . .
