SOADFans: Shavo and Daron Recall Rides That Were Limpin', Not Pimpin' |

System of a Down's Shavo Odadjian also had a nickname for his first car, a beat-up silver 1983 Ford Thunderbird. "It was called the 'Mean T-Bird' in high school because I had this, like, stereo system in there that would play metal the whole time, but it was just a broken down, beaten down car," said the bassist. "I bought it for $300. I had to retire it and I gave it to the Salvation Army. I took out the speakers and kept the big amplifier. That's what happened to the 'Mean T-Bird.' It was really tacky. We all had beaters."
System guitarist Daron Malakian's was "a white four-door 1987 Honda Accord that I took to the cemetery and crashed while — this sounds like a cheesy heavy metal story, but I crashed it listening to the song 'Black Sabbath' at the cemetery, because it was like a 15 mile-an-hour zone," he said. "I was doing like 65. I actually, maybe a couple of weeks ago, told my parents how that car got wrecked for the first time."
Malakian replaced the wrecked Accord with another Accord — which he drove equally as recklessly and also destroyed in a near-fatal wreck. "After I crashed all the Accords, I had to drive my mom's Buick Regal," he lamented. "It had a bad radiator, and every time we drove it, it made this dinging noise. So you would have to drive, like the whole time, with this noise going."
