2005 C6 Corvette. The 370z is a much better car-superior engineering, workmanship, and quality control. But I do miss the Corvette's big V-8 engine and its tremendous torque. Do I regret switching to the Z? absolutely not. The more I drive it, the more I know I made the right decision in switching to the Z.

2007 honda civic ex coupe.. i can defenitely feel the difference in power. this is also my first rear wheel drive car , love it specially when u turn vdc off

1997 toyota camry! :D also was my first car given to me by my parents when i was 16 :p
I had wanted something faster like an s2000 but I got stuck with this. Looking back on it now, i really do appreciate the fact that I had the camry. Slow car = plenty of time to learn how to drive and earn respect for the roads.

First brand new car was a 1993 Ford Probe. That didn't last long. :icon14:

Moved to a 1993 Honda Civic hatch. Meh.

Then had a family and got a 1998 Ford Taurass :icon23:. Whoops, second big mistake!!!!

Next purchased a 2004 Toyota Matrix for the versatile function and fuel economy. Ok commuter car.

Now, finally, a car I actually like..... 2010 370z touring coupe. :driving:

Before that: 2001 Xterra SE, black, 5MT (that was hard to find on the SE)
1995 Saturn SC2 black gold 5MT
1987 Nissan Sentra Red 5MT

I guess I briefly also owned a Buick Century before the Tiburon... That was my mother's car, which she sold me when I came back to the states after living abroad in Korea. The Xterra I only had for 2 years, and I really miss that truck. The Sentra was my first car, bought brand-spankin'... Bright red paint, which was about all it came with. Vinyl seats, no AC, no radio for cripes sake. It did have power windshield wipers... :tup:

Here's the old with the new at the dealership:

On my way home from the dealership (paranoid as hell in traffic), I ended up behind this 280ZX. We waved and he flashed a thumps-up when I passed him later:

I have a 2004 RAV4 that I drive in inclimate weather.
Before the RAV I had a Camry. I won't go into all the other cars I've had over the years. We've been a Toyota family, but I think that it might be changing over to Nissan. I love the looks of the new Juke and can't wait to check one out.

For some reason the photographer wouldn't give me the other pictures of his wife. I guess maybe he was pissed that she was my background at work for a long time.

Hahaha, seriously? Thats an A+ *** right there, I'd keep it as my background, too.

If he didnt want you to use it, why would he shoot pics with her, and YOUR car?

It was a free shoot for me...
1) I worked with him.
2) He just bought a new cam
3) Never shot a car before

I got about 6 pics out of the 2hour shoot and he help me out with my noob photography questions so its still a win for me.

Well, was the front end as good as the rear on her at least? Or is it a but-her-face? Tough to say for sure in the pic.

I'm almost 50 and this is my 6th car. I have a tendency to keep them a while.
I've been through:
  • 2 Porsche 914's (I totaled the first one)
  • 280ZX (I miss that car)
  • 5.0L RS Camaro (had to try an American V8 - not for me)
  • Mitsubishi 3000GT-SL
  • and I'm back to a Z
