I bought my first aspire when I turned 18. It was a 97 automatic and I had some issues with it, mostly because the seller had been dishonest. Fast forward a couple years and a few different cars later. I bought another aspire, this one a 97 5 speed. I loved this one so much and did a lot of fun little custom work to it which I have a thread of on here. After finishing college and moving back home, while working asset protection at my local Walmart I was coming back from break and stumbled upon a white SE. I had to wait out the owner of this beauty.
Minutes later a wonderful lady came to the car where I introduced myself and explained to her the crazy following of these little cars and the festivas. I gave her my number and the site address and told her that if she ever wanted to sell the vehicle to get ahold of me. Months down the road I landed a better job and bought a Cobalt SS and was blinded by its speed and power windows so much that I sold my aspire to a friend for $100 for his first car. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he will have something so awesome for his first car, I just miss the ol girl. A few months after buying the cobalt the lady with the SE calls me asking me if I'm interested in the car still because the fuel pump had went out and she would rather get rid of it. I explained how I was sort of out if he aspire game and I explained to her how to access the fuel pump easily and repair it.
Fast forward a little over a year later, I'm driving and alongside the road I see a white SE aspire. Long story short it's the same one and I leave my number on the windshield. The lady calls me and I find out its for sale. After talking awhile she tells me "this car will be waiting for you when you have the extra money saved up, it's definitely going to be yours. I'm going to save it for you." 95 SE with a new clutch and fuel pump. She wants 700 bucks and I'm almost there, had a setback with an AR15 purchase lol. I'm super pumped to be getting back in the game soon. Anyone else have any stories on how they keep getting pulled back in?
