Simple question. What cars have you owned since joining this site? And what one was your favorite, or would want back?

95 Contour SE
98 Buick Regal
92 Eagle Talon (owned before but parked at my dads due to coil pack...fixed when hit deer with the SE)
96 Impreza Outback (wifes)
98 Contour SVT
00 Legacy GT (wifes)
99 Contour SVT
99 Solara SLE (wifes)
99 Navigator
02 WRX
04 BMW X3
07 Honda Pilot EX-L
96 Eagle Vison
And for extended amounts of time drove a 05 Cavalier and 10 Escape.

The one that I enjoyed the most was the 99 SVT 3.0L
 
'97 Contour GL (rebuilt Zetec engine/trans with a turbo)
'00 SVT Contour (blew stock 2.5L installed full 04 3L)
'93 3000GT VR4


favorite would be either the Zetec turbo or the VR4, was glad when i finally got rid of the SVT.

Not a long list for me...

99 SVT Contour
03 SVT Cobra Convertible

I still own both of them... the Cobra is my favorite out of the two however I'd be hard pressed to get rid of either one of them. Nothing like a big honkin' blower that screams and 700 horsepower to get your blood pumping :laugh:

The ones in bold are the vehicles I wish I kept. The BMW only because that was a smooth sweet ride :drool:. The '99 Tred/tan because I poured my heart and soul into the restoration of that car. Sat for 4+ years with a blown motor, low miles, and hacked up inside for some stereo crap.

Ode to the T-red I should have kept :cry:. I will never forget you! http://www.contour.org/ceg-vb/showt...es-away.....&highlight=t-red+before+goes+away

Mine is a short list.

98.5 Csvt - Was totally stock now it's a full 3L, for sure my favorite right now.
05 Escape - The most reliable vehicle we have ever owned. Bought in late 05 and now 100k miles later it has had nothing but normal maintenance done.
06 Passat 2.0T - I could go into the repairs this car has gone through in the one year we've owned it but then I would basically turn this into a complaint post. Car is awesome for everything but reliability, so far.

Three different cars in almost 7 years, not a real impressive list. And I guess I can't say which one I want back since I haven't gotten rid of a car yet.
 
I had the SVT as my only car for years then purchased these as daily drivers....

2002 Lexus IS300 (manual) - Sold in 2008
2003 BMW 540i M-Sport (manual) - Still own, looking for replace by the end of summer
 
I should have kept it for sure. The slutty new girl and the wife would have learned to get along :laugh:. The only reason to sell it was the profit I was making as we needed it to work on the house......


Cleanest Contour I have ever owned, even next to EGPLNT the T-red was by far the best. :(
 
89 Cavalier
2001 Ranger Edge
88 Buick Lasabre
88 Olds Cutlass Supreme fwd
85 Toyota Corolla
87 Mustang GT
91 Saturn 4 door
93 Honda Accord
96 Ford Explorer Sport
97 Contour SE 5spd
98 Contour Se 5 spd
99 SVT Contour

The 98 SE has been my favorite car so far. But that being said When I get the 99 SVT situated I am sure it will take the top spot.

The Cobalt was my favorite car due to the power and handling abilities. I still have the SVT and it is by far more fun than the Cobalt. Just not close to as fast and that's okay because it is still fun! And its convenient with 4 doors!
