^Good Format

Age 16 (1999):
1991 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Auto- Piece Of ****, dumped it at 65k miles due to realibility issues

Age 16-22 (1999-2005)
1995 Nissan Maxima SE Pearl White/Tan Leather 5spd - Love for Nissan began. Ran the car hard til 160k miles. Great Car!

Age 22-25 (2005-2008)
2003 Nissan 350z Touring Magnetic Black/Burnt Orange Leather 6spd- Best car I ever had, all engine work, suspension, track car! T-Boned, totalled! This is where I lost my car identity.

Age 25 (2008)
2007 Acura TL Type-S Auto - Very Nice, Great car, a little too old manish for me at the time. Was not ready for an automatic yet. Sold after 4 months.

Age 25-28 (2008 - 2011)
2004 Audi S4 Silver 6spd - Awesome car, did great in all weather. AWD with V8 was awesome. Horrible gas mileage, super costly to maintain. I got my German fix, and bailed.

Current (2011 - Beyond)
2009 Pearl White 370z Touring w/ Sport Package - I found my car identity again. This is a great car, good MPG for a sports car, just as fast as my old modded 350z, but better all around. Just getting into modding it now.

For your comic relief:
1996 - 1983 Toyota Supra - First car decent car. Should have kept it.

1997 - 1984 Dodge Daytona - Should have kept the Supra. It broke often. Wrecking it probably didn't help.

1998 - 1984 Jeep Cherokee - A real rust bucket. I could lift the carpet and see the road.

1999 - ?? Geo Metro - Engine would not stay on engine mounts and dropped out of car... This car lasted about 3 months. Gas mileage was great! Because it didnt run much.

1999 - 1983 Rampage - Replacement for the metro... Wow this was a work of art. Look it up.

1999 - 1972 Datsun 240z - Love at first sight. Couldnt afford to keep it road worthy.

2000 - 1987 Ford Thunderbird "Turbo chicken" - Replaced the Z. Really clean car was a dog! Gave it to my brother.

2001 - 1992 Dodge Daytona - I went back for more punishment from Dodge. The car looked ok... But I replaced many items to make it run. Eventually I got sick of replacing things. I started cutting off things that stopped working like power steering, air conditioning unit.... etc.

2002 - 2002 Yamaha R6 - First brand new pride and joy. Rode this for many years. Until about 2007. Someone stole it. It was found last year (2010) in Florida. Oh well.

2005 - 1990 Toyota Corolla - Winter beater while I rode my bike. I could not kill this car. I drove it damn hard too. I did eventually found a way. I drove through a flooded parking lot trying to avoid a flooded road during a bad storm. WIN! I would not buy a car until it died so it really worked out.

2008 - 2004 Dodge Stratus - I hate Dodge but I got a good deal. I sold it asap for the car below.

2010 - 2009 Nissan 370z - Ummm... best car yet.

mrlou2 · 11-18-2011, 11:23 PM

I had a 77 Triumph Spitfire, 70 MGB, 95 240SX, 01 Santa Fe.. now 370Z called Cherry with the Fat-Azz.. ;O)

Z_ealot · 11-18-2011, 11:38 PM

ok i'll bite

2004-2005: 2002 Nissan Altima 2.5S, bought used and was a good car

2005-2008: 2005 Nissan Altima 3.5SE, loved the power that this car had for a sedan but got a little expensive to maintain after about the 160k mark

2008-2011: 2006 Chevrolet Cobalt, bought used, was a previous rental car but still pretty good car apart from creaks and rattles, but got good gas mileage and cheap to maintain

2011-forever: My pride and joy, 2011 Nissan 370Z in just the color i wanted (Monterey Blue) and with the options i wanted and i could not be happier, will be definitely holding on to this car even if i get something else after it
