Paul's car during high school, the first vehicle designated Shitmobile. Lots of fun times have been spent shit disturbing in this car. One day in 2001, someone rear-ended Paul while on the way back from the airport. The car person who rear-ended Paul was totally smashed in, while Paul's car was totally undamaged. Wow.

Story:
Paul inherited this vehicle from his late grandfather during high school. It has been used for years, and even though right now it's a rolling junkyard, it's still a truly historic monument. Generally used if Paul didn't feel like driving his Ford Taurus (above).
Fate: Still owned by Paul, although he might sell it.

 

#4 - 1989 Honda Civic

Story:
After the first Shitmobile (the 1989 Ford Taurus) broke down, Paul got a new car, the 1989 Honda Civic pictured above. It only lasted until the infamous Mission St. Crash of March 2002.
Fate: While driving in the city with Aaron, Philippe, and Ray, Paul was about to do a turn when a speeding driver rear-ended the car. The above picture depicts the damage done by the rear-end; The car was still driveable, but the rear-ending made it impossible to open the back-right door. The bashed in fender also rubbed against the back-right tire. ... The person who rear-ended up never paying Paul and his family for the damaged done to the car. Fucker.

 

#5 - 1990 Volkswagen Fox

Story:
Bought for $300 right after Shitmobile #4 was deemed undrivable.
Fate: As soon as Paul learned to drive it, it broke down. One of the shortest lived Shitmobiles in history.

 

#6 - 1989 Ford Taurus

Story:
After losing the Fox, Paul managed to purchace this Ford Taurus from his mom's best friend. One of the many cute kinks the Taurus had was that you had to undo the battery or else it would drain. And it had no rearview mirror. Over time this car would be Bwowed out (or Pimped out); several bullet-hole stickers were added as well tricked out to look like a plane (Paul Force One).
Fate: On a fateful trip down to the Coachella Concert in May (seen in the desert above), the car broke down after not having enough oil and radiator fluid in it. And even after spending $400 for repairs, it still broke down. The car was last seen in Indio CA.

 

#7 - 1987 Honda Civic

Story: Paul, after saving enough money for a new car, hastily bought his last car from a a mysterious seller for $850. The car worked fine at first but...
Fate: Paul needed to get his car smogged, but in order to do that, he would have needed to buy a $100 part for his car. Now although that was fine, the Honda's fate was sealed when its ignition broke. It's currently parked in Casa Territory, Daly City, waiting to get towed by the city.
