Dylan and Cars
2005 Toyota Solara
Shortly after Dylan acquired his license on or around Jan 30th 2021, Dylan was gifted the 2005 Toyota Solara as a hand-me-down car from his dad's side of the family. The car was not in the best condition, being a salvage title and not looking great it still ran very well and even had Apple CarPlay. It is worth noting that the Solara had a very loud exhaust leak and was not well maintained while in Dylan's possession. Regardless, it was always reliable.
Dylan took an interest in cars after he and Travis reconnected after not seeing each other due to living apart. When he moved to Everett on or around June 6th 2021 was when the seed was planted in his mind that he needed to get a sports car.
There are not many notable events with the Toyota Solara. Dylan drove the car until he acquired his MazdaSpeed6. The car was then given to Travis's parents. The car was passed around afterward, swapping hands to Travis's sister, and ultimately sold to Travis's friend's niece who then totaled the car. The car was scrapped shortly after.
2006 Mazda MazdaSpeed 6 (Red)
On Dec 18th, 2021, Dylan purchased his long sought after dream car for the price of $5,500. On Jan 4th, the vehicle was delivered from a local dealership. On Oct 9th 2022, the car was totaled after rear ending a stopped vehicle.
2011 Honda Civic Si
2006 Mazda MazdaSpeed 6 (Silver)
In the months following the crash of his initial Mazda, Dylan sought to reconnect with the car by means of acquiring another one. Devastated by the loss of his initial car and being underwhelmed by his Si, he began scouring Facebook Marketplace in attempts to find another.
Spurred by his high insurance costs due to his crash and boredom with his Civic Si he started the process of purchasing another. This would be difficult however due to a multitude of reasons such as his likely bad credit, inability to get another loan due to having a current one on his previously crashed MazdaSpeed6, and low capital. His only chance at acquiring another one would be to taking a cash loan from either Juli or Travis.
Dylan's plan was that he would be able to return the Civic Si to the dealership to nullify his current car loan, purchase a new MazdaSpeed6 outright to avoid a car payment, and have a lower insurance payment due to the MazdaSpeed6 being an older car.
On 3/8/2023, he believed he had struck gold when he found the Silver 2006 Mazda MazdaSpeed6 being sold for only $3750.00. Dylan was able to haggle the price from the seller down to $3000.00.
