What I've driven
Sienna
V6 carry
Carolla
Civic
Is250
Is350
C320
C300
328xi
335xi

Now none of those were my cars.. always parents or relatives. Some of them I only really drove to move between parking lol

Now my own list of what I've owned

370z

Lol I'm young but I'm hoping that in my future I'll be able to have sweet lists as everyone else

Zala · 04-10-2017, 02:23 PM

Been driving since 16. Here's my list.

2001 Ford Focus - 2 door hatch (base, bare bones 5 speed for $9999 brand new, new cars don't come cheap like that anymore...)
2003 Ford Focus SVT - 4 door hatch (6 speed)
2007 Mazdaspeed 3
2011 370Z Touring+Sport Package (real sports car!)
2011 Mazda MX-5 PRHT (was really wanting a convertible, but miss my Z's power...)
added Flying Miata Supercharger (made it as quick as the Z.
2008 Mazdaspeed 3 (extra car while my Mazda got goodies installed, sold off after a few months since I stopped driving it. The MX-5 was way more fun to drive.)
1991 Mazda MX-5 (Turbo'd, extra car for a short bit, but didn't like dealing with such an old car.)
2011 Mazda MX-5 PRHT got a 2.5L engine swapped for way more power with the SC.
2014 Ford Focus ST (second car, while the '11 MX-5 is getting boosted with a new Fab9 EFR Turbo).
2016 370Z Nismo Tech (3rd car, while I wait for my MX-5 Fab9 Turbo. I missed driving a real sports car after a year with the ST. I plan to keep this Z as it's gorgeous, a real step up from my prior Z, and is great as is, not really needing any mods in my opinion to enjoy.
2008 Mazda MX-5 SoftTop (4th car, this is a roller chassis that was in need of a new engine. Too many potential buyers flaked on my old 2.5L SC setup, so I decided to just move it over to a second MX-5 and keep it as a daily.)

I anticipate my list won't grow much more at this point considering I have plenty of variety to drive for the foreseeable future. I'm trying to sell the Focus ST (not aggressively) to free some driveway space, but it just isn't moving. I won't complain as I love variety.

Fun thread!

My first car. I paid $50 for it and it had to be towed home. The kid that owned it rebuilt the carb and dorked it up. My dad fixed it (a simple adjust of the float) and the car ran great. I drove it for a couple of years before I went to boot camp, sold it to my grandfather for $300. I was supposed to get it back when he passed, but my grandmother sold it to some banker for $3k

It had the original mohair interior and was in great shape.

BboyZ · 04-13-2017, 12:32 AM
