My first car (1995-2001): '91 Pontiac Grand Am - gray.. 33K when I got it.. lasted to 114K. I beat the hell outta this car.. lol

second car (2001-2005): '94 Acura Legend LS Coupe - red, 6spd, fully loaded, sweet ride, a bit on the worn side when I got it though.. 92K when I got it, 180K when the crank shaft went.. By that time, the interior and exterior paint was in bad need of fixin' up. Very expensive to maintain..

Current car: 2000 Dodge Durango SLT 5.9L V8 gas guzzler. - aquamarine, leather, fully loaded w/ tow package.. 42K when I got it, 61K now.. 14mpg sux though when you drive as much as I do.

Otherwise I love everything about it and for $13K, I think I faired well on the deal considering the miles and flawless shape she seems to be in.

I've had waaay too many count. 99% of them are GM.
Right now I have a '94 Camaro Z28, 6 speed with a few mods.
Next mods will be cam, heads, dual exhaust = the loudness
I'll post a pic when I'm home.

First car...1977 Ford Capri II (the European Ford of Germany model...not the later Mercury Capri Mustang cousin). 2.8 V6, Getrag 4 speed..dual exhausts..wow was that car fast. Bought it senior year of high school..throughout first 2 years of college.

Second car..1980 Toyota Celica...needed a dependible ride for commuting back and forth to college main campus each weekend..last 2 years of college was upstate. So dropped excitement...and got the reliable commuter car. Did the job well.

Third car...done with school..time to get a fun car...got rid of the Celica..and oddly enough on a whim one day, picked up a 1989 (I think) Pontiac Fiero. Yes this lanky 6'5" guy could fit very well in it..plenty of legroom and headroom. Loved that car.

Fourth car...1987 Jeep Wrangler. 4.2L, soft top, got into offroading with a few Jeep clubs. Went through a few lift kits and offroading mods.

Fifth car...1998 Jeep Wrangler Sahara...4.0L, hard and soft top, still did a bit of offroading, beefed up suspension, rear axle, Borla SS headers and exhausts.

Sixth car (2nd wifes..err..ex-wifes)..Subaru Impreza 2.5RS...I think 2004. Quick little thing.

Current car...2006 Jeep Liberty Sport. Due to job..needed more cargo carrying than my Wrangler had.

Between 4th and 5th car...first wife had a Honda Civic, and a Subaru sedan. Forget the years..long time ago.

I lived in East Bay, Nova Scotia at the time. Guess you didn't take in effect the Canadian factor or the hefty monthly payments.
