in order from oldest to newest: 2004 Dodge Neon (base) Totaled, 2005 Dodge Neon SRT4 (totaled), 2004 SVT Cobra (traded in), 2004 G35 Coupe 6MT (traded in about two months ago) 2010 40th anniversary 370Z, wife drives 2012 G37 Sport Sedan and 08 Altima Coupe 3.5. Love my Z but damn I miss my G, it was quicker and felt more responsive in every way. Glad to say I smoked a new 5.0 Mustang on the way to the dealer ship before i traded her in. (she was modded).

I traded in a 6th generation Pontiac Grand Prix GTP (3.8L/240HP w/Eaton M90 supercharger) for my '09 370Z. The GTP had plenty of power for a grocery-getter but way too heavy for zipping through the curves.

Through the years. I've had about a dozen pre-1970 Mustangs (sold a 1967 coupe to make room for the 370Z in the garage). A late-'60s Dodge Dart GTS (if I had to pick a favorite, this would be it). A Rambler station wagon (no rear brakes). Whilst raising a family, I drove a Dodge Spirit and various other family cars.

First car - '98 Prelude (base) w/bolt-on's. Great first car, the only thing I had to fix on the car was my driver side window... it popped/jumped off the track. I learned a lot from working on this car, and I made a lot of good friends when I had it.

Second car - '06 M35 S w/intake, exhaust, uprev. This car spoiled me silly! 14 speakers, heated+cooled seats, adaptive headlights etc. But man!! was this thing ever thirsty! I would average 13mpg in the city! 16mpg when I'm concious of my right foot in mixed driving.

Third and current car - 40th Anni. Ed. 370z

My car history is rather short but here we go:

1990 S10 Blazer - I owned this thing for almost 2 years and NEVER changed the oil. I was a teenager that didnt know or care anything about cars lol.

1990 S10 - never drove it, sold it to my brother

2004 Sentra S-ER Spec V - Got rid of the Blazer, picked this up. First time I ever modded a car, and the first mod I ever installed was a turbo kit lol. Me and a buddy who was in school for auto mechanics installed the turbo kit, everything else after I did my self or with help from a friend. I learned A TON about cars with this car, mostly through f-ups. Some were costly.

2003 350z - Got rid of the Sentra for this. Did a ton of suspension mods, drove the living piss out of it. Drove it like I stole it. A drunk driver rear ended me and totaled it three weeks after I payed it off. I barely owned it for 2 years

1995 240sx - Drove as a daily for a little while during my ownership of the 350z.

1990 240sx - Traded a buddy my 240 who bought this on a whim. His GF got super pissed because it was far from running. Still working on it.

2009 370z - Got this a week or two after my 350z got totaled. Love it. Best car I have ever owned. Current daily.

Only had two cars so far.
1) 01 Ford Taurus (First car when I turned 16, still sitting in my parents driveway, but probably hasn't left said driveway in a year or two.)
2) 99 Toyota Solara (current, will also wind up in their driveway once I get the 370z. Hopefully my dad or mom drives this one sometimes because it has been good to me.)
3) WILL BE A 370Z!

I hope to either have found one or placed my order for one by next week, so I should be in it soon enough.

I've had 2 cars before the Z. A 2002 Sentra and a 2008 Altima 3.5SE. The Z will probably be with me for the long haul but I'm thinking my next car won't be a Nissan. Time to change it up, most likely going Toyota/Lexus for my second car.
