Rate my automobiles since 2004

None of the photos are mine, but are all the same color/trim/generation of what I did have.

1989 Chevy Blazer S10. First car in High school. Totaled.

1995 Jeep Wrangler YJ. Also High school. First manual. Sold for something more commuter friendly.

1996 GMC Jimmy 2 door. College. Back to Auto trans. My Mother inherited it from me when I was done with it.

2005 Chevy Cobalt SS Supercharged – My “dream car” as a young 20’s. Super fun. Still miss it sometimes. Sold to a kid who modded/blew up the motor.

2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X 6 speed Manual – Fun, but too basic. Sold roughly a year later.

2011 Chevy Cruze Eco 6 speed manual – First brand new car. Nothing to love, nothing to hate. Solid commuter with excellent fuel economy. Sold after 2 1/2 years.

2013 Wrangler Sport 6 speed manual – Also new. Very basic but somehow it worked this time, kept it for 5-6 years. Sold for something more car seat friendly

2019 Honda Accord Sport – Going from manual to CVT was a pretty awful decision in hindsight. Car was predictably boring, but fine for what I needed it for. Victim of 1.5t head gasket issue, traded it in (sorry Toyota dealership lol) after about 6 years of ownership.

2025 Tacoma SR5. First pickup. Didn’t go back to a manual but 8 spd auto much better than CVT. Super happy with this truck. Pretty loaded up with options/dealer add ons for a lower trim.
