Mazda RX-8 6-speed with Racing Beat Mods. Torque-starved, but one of the best handling cars I've ever driven (along with Porsche Cayman). Still miss it everyday.

Here's my list:

1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera (aka "The Tank")
1995 Ford Ranger - 5spd
2005.5 VW Jetta TDI - 5spd
2008 Toyota Prius

Used to miss the Jetta until I got the Z...nothing like driving a manual! Jetta had everything I wanted at the time - turbo + great gas mileage. Too bad the damn thing fell apart at 54k miles (of course, 4k outside the warranty). The Prius was great on gas, and had a ton of room for cargo, but was so incredibly boring to drive :shakes head:

brakedrift12 04-20-2010 10:27 PM

2002 Sentra(gas-friendly, never had a single problems with me. Sold to high school kid who as my little brothers friend :p)
2003 Acura CL-S(had basic N/A mod. fun to drive. Im pretty sure many of Honda guys got their hondaz to fell in love with V-TEC!! I'm still keeping her for winter. But thinking to sell her for cheaper car, like light car for winter time :) All the aftermarket parts has been removed except the wheel. :(
2010 Nissan 370z 40th anniversary!! I tries to put less then 5k rpm till the proper break-in. hmm may be I already ruined it... I could not help myself going less then 4k with z. She wants to run more and more :p

My car before the 370z was a Subaru Outback Sport 5dr. It was perfect for these northern winters but wasn't fun enough when the weather got good.

Pretty realistic flame paint job

Roy 04-21-2010 12:17 PM

I had a 2001 Saturn SL with 273,000 miles on it. :driving: My folks gave it to me and I drove it for two and a half years until I graduated from college. It was a fantastic little car, wonderful gas milage, very reliable (except when the engine decided it randomly needed to rev to 4000 RPM in neutral). Perfect car for getting to and from classes.

That being said, it was just about the most boring thing on earth to drive... so as soon as I got paid, I went and bought my Z and haven't looked back! ...Not that I really can anyway, the rear view mirror is worthless...

Drive safe!
