Hard to think it's been 6 years. I bought my 1989 Mazda Rx-7 TurboII all stock in noble white June of 2006. Crazy how time flies.
In the 6 years I:
-graduated with a bachelor of sciences in engineering
-went through 3 summer internships at engineering places
-work full time at a aerospace engineering company
-spent about 11k into the rx7 including the purchase price of the car
-went through 2 girl friends
-bought and paid off a new Subaru Legacy GT.
I still remember the 1st day I came home with the rx7... I couldn't even drive stick at the time. i was so excited.

I didn't have a car yet.
I bought my '01 Honda Shadow Spirit 750 that year.
I was still living at my dad's house, but moved in with my future wife and her parents by the end of the year, I think.
I was in my 1st year at the community college (I graduate May 6th, almost there!).
That was the year I found out my future wife was pregnant.
I was working in the same office I work now (nto physical location, but you get the point).
Don't remember much else.

Six years ago, I wasn't married, and didn't have two sons. Since 2001 I have also moved twice, bought a new MPV, and an old Chevy II. Come to think of it, I guess I bought the T2 not much after that. I guess it was in early 2002.
