What cars have you had since joining this site?

since joining this site? eerrrrrr

1 Eagle Talon awd
1 SVT Contour

Looking to pick up a new MX-5 right meow
 
I've had the same car since I was 17 and joined in 2003. I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing. During that time its been rear ended 3 times, t-boned in the driver's fender, hit a guardrail at 55mph, backed into a parked car, backed into by other cars twice and hit a cat that tore off half the bumper cover. I didnt have surface rust really start to show until after last winter. We replaced 2/3 of both rocker panels this summer and welded a patch on the rear subframe where its beginning to rust out. I just discovered the oil pan gasket is leaking a little. Its been very reliable in between trips to the bodyshop lol. We bought it with 23k miles, it now has almost 145k. Within the next year it will be replaced with either a FSVT, 02-03 Maxima, Mazdaspeed Protege or 05-07 Focus ses hatch. Used car prices suck right now :nonono: Good used cars are starting around 7k these days

i actually like the mx6 gt and the 626 turbo's better. they were some of my favorite cars to mod though, so cheap to buy and make fun. 200 dollars would get you a high 13 second car.

Currently rocking the same 96 Vision from posted above. So, does that car count twice? LOL.

Here is mine, from 1st to my current and how i feel about them in a short description (brand, reliability, comfort, power):

1996 Chevrolet Cavalier LS (GM, average, terrible is an understatement, sufficient enough for what it was), started my disgust towards GM quality.
1991 Honda Civic DX (Honda, excellent, excellent for what it was, it was there for being a small car).
1993 Saturn SL (GM, poor, sorta, low), this set me off to not get a GM ever again.
1998 Honda Accord LX (Honda, EXCELLENT LIKE TO NO END!, awesomeness can't describe it for a sedan, not bad at all).
1997 Honda Prelude Base (Honda, TERRIBLE TRANS LIKE HORRIBLE, it was a coupe so it felt weird at times, it was there but the trans just ruined the car overall), my hate towards Honda Started there.
1993 Honda Civic CX (Honda, EXCELLENT but had cosmetic issues, nice for a hatch, slow as f*!)
1993 Mitsubishi Galant DX (Mitsubishi, EXCELLENT 5 SPEED CAR!!!, too comfortable i felt i was in a sports coupe with a cadillac suspension, it was a sedan so power was decent). DSM is decent, period.
1999 Ford Contour SVT SF (Ford!, had a few small issues but it ran nonetheless, awesomeness, it was ready to go when needed). FORD LOVE STARTED
1998 Ford Contour SVT B (Ford!, WORDS CANNOT REALLY DESCRIBE THE CAR THAT IT WAS LOVED IT TO THE VERY LAST SECOND I OWNED IT AND I MISS IT, love it still, it was FAST).
2006 Volkswagen Jetta GLI (VW, reliable and nice, it was nice although it felt big, it had a LOT of torque). Don't miss it for the payment but miss it for the boost power!
1998 Ford Contour SVT SF (one phrase to describe this car: I MOTHERF*@#a$a@$a@%@$@# LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) - Current ride.

I don't think i am missing any othe cars.
MY favorite brands i will go back to with eyes closed (if i need a new car): FORD, Audi/VW and Toyota.
