First: 1986 Chevy Nova

Current: 1997 Plymouth Sunfire (this car is reliable AND gets good gas milage. No plans to part with it anytime soon.)

Damn that Cutlass is a nice looking ride... I shudder to think what the fuel conumption would be like tho! :shock: Had a look at the Nova too and noticed it bares a striking resemblence at least in hatchback form to an AE-86 Corrolla Seca.

First car: 1963 Oldsmobile Cutlass convertible (mine was black w/ black leather interior). I was a spoiled 16-year-old brat who demanded that car from a local used car lot. It was a classic at the time (1986).

Current car: 2003 Ford Escape XLT (looks exactly like the one in the pic, only without the window sticker. )

My father had a Fire Engine Red Olds Cutlass Station Wagon.  Had a small block V-8 engine.  Gas was only about 20¢ a gallon then, and a couple of gas stations would have price wars.  Sometimes gas was being sold at 10 and 11¢ per gallon.

I got my first car when I graduated from HS in 1997.  It was a blue 1994 Ford Tempo.

I totaled it in March 2004 (my fault).

My next and current vehicle is a white 1999 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4.  When I got it, it had about 86,000 miles on it and it now has nearly 100,600.  It needs servicing, but I can't afford it.  maybe next year.

right now, i am daydreaming about owning an early 80s model GMC G-series van and "fixing it up." 

First was a 1990 Hyundai Excel hatchback 5 speed with no AC. In Texas. A killer.
Now I drive a 2006 Mazda 3 5 speed loaded. Love this little car.
My favorite though was a 1991 Mazda MX-6 turbo. That car was fun.

First was a Honda Accord Fastback 1980 I think....

Next was a 240sx, since the Honda was stolen 2 days after I paid it off.

Then on to a Nissan Pathfinder...

And now I have a Mazda MX-5...which is a kick in the pants to drive, but really does suck in the snow....oh well.  I am in walking distance to the grocery store and bank, so I'm not too worried.

First Car = 1999 Silver Honda Civic
Current Car = 2008 Navy Blue Honda CR-V

The sad thing is, when I gave the silver Civic back to my dad, it only had 54k on it. I've had my new car for 2 months and it already has 2k on it.

First: '96 Mazda MX-3

Current: '87 Porsche 944

The former was great on gas and very nimble, but a pain in the butt maintenance-wise. The latter is pure sex to drive but old and therefore finicky (not to mention very tricky in the snow).

Don't have one, but anyone that has been on this forum for a while should already know what I want.

First car = 1998 Volvo S90.
First motorcycle = 2007 Kawasaki Ninja 250r.

That's about it.

1st 1980 Buick Skylark
Current 2008 Scion xB

In between 86 subaru wagon, 78 chevy LUV, 92 Isuzu Rodeo, 2000 Toyota Sienna, 1 78 vw bus (champagne edition), 4 vw squarebacks (68-71), 2 vw fastbacks (67 & still own a 68) & still own a beater 86 toyota pu for lumber runs. My wife currently drives a 2001 civic.
