I haven't owned many before my X and the ones I have owned are not near as cool as the rest of you guys with your performance cars, but here we go:

First car: 1997 Isuzu Hombre 5 spd. Great little pickup to learn on for a first vehicle.

2000 Ford Ranger: Bought because I wanted to be done shifting and also have 4wd available for my MN winters. owned for half a year and realized I don't need it as I never hauled anything and could get better mileage with a small car.

2003 Saturn Ion 5 spd: Bought 5 years ago right after the ranger with 165k on the clock. Its now at 240k and still running strong. I bought it as it was really cool to have a 5 spd little car that got great mileage and also has cool suicide doors!!! Currently trying to sell.............

2013 G37x Sedan: bought 2 days ago in Cleveland Ohio from a guy that listed it on the G's for sale here in the forums. Flew out and drove it back to MN. Best 12 hour test drive I have ever had!!!!

 

I've been an import guy (most) of my life and usually Nissans. Between me and my wife we've had the following cars:

GT-R





M3 or ATS-V

 

talon… eclipses…. And now the g?…. Why do we have the same car lineup 😭🤍

 

/\ /\ /\ Wow, nice find on the old thread Melodyrae! I completely forgot about my post right above yours from 4 1/2 years ago and ironically here I am in the same spot considering the next generation of the same cars. I just drove the ATS-V replacement, the CT4-V Blackwing and looking forward to seeing the new Audi RS3. I considered a used GT-R or a new M3, but the front of the M3 is still ugly and the Blackwing seems like a much better deal. Then again, I am having trouble with the idea of giving up the AWD in my current car...

 

This is my second g37x sedan, a 2012 with 126k, my daily. Prior to those I owned a few cars that remain kind of dear to me

2006 Acura RL - Amazing ride and Tech for a 2006 vehicle. Trans let go at 180k. Sold for 2k
1998 Maxima GLE - Super Fun 5-speed manual, fully loaded with leather heated seats. Subframe was so rotted at 220k, thought engine was going to fall out one day. Sold it to a friend for 500, he bolted a brace under engine cradle and STILL drives it.
2002 Passat Sedan - Good V6 with AWD, I wanted the wagon version. Sold for 3k with 190k
1984 & 1988 VW Scirrocos - I couldn't afford a GTI, but this was a better car anyway. Still miss these

 

I ain't had a whole lot of cars either yet but I'm only 22. First was an 07 fj cruiser, wasn't into modding yet so stock except the spray paint job we don't talk about anymore. Traded in for a 2011 g37x which I riced out a little more than I wanted, wrecked on the highway in the snow. Wasn't totalled in fact it still ran fine I just didn't want to rebuild the front end especially with the amount of rust on it sold it for $1200 and used that as a down payment on my 09 SRT8 charger which I still have, it's got a cam, full straight pipe, intake, American racing wheels, Hotchkis springs, Bilsteins all around, gutted from the driver's seat back. I got another 2011 g37x a couple months ago to have for a more practical daily driver though I'm a much better driver learning how to handle a powerful car on the charger, drove to work one morning and didn't realize there was freezing rain until I hit it on a bridge on the highway, just counter steer until I got off it. Had to laugh because there were trucks and SUVs sounds out all over the place and my rwd muscle car got to work ok. Also had a 91 s10 blazer I bought off Craigslist for $750, I ended up giving it to a friend because he needed a car really bad and I didn't really need it. The black sedan with the gtr lights was my first Infiniti. Yes I like painting things myself, y'all can talk **** about the blue on my new one if you want, my spray painting has gotten a lot better over the years though.

 

Just found this thread and figured I would throw a few of my previous cars up here.

Have owned quite a few but here are a couple that I enjoyed the most.

2003 Mazdaspeed Protege - Fully built w/ forged pistons-rods. One of the best handling fwd cars I have owned.







1998 BMW M3 - It was a BMW Individual with a few bolt-ons and suspension upgrades. Completely changed what I expected from a car, it was an absolute blast to drive.





2001 BMW M5 - Hands down the best all around car I have owned. It was just good at everything. Definitely wish I had hung onto this one.

 

That 2001 M5 looks like it could be a 2021 car. The design really holds up, 20 years later.

 

Completely agree. They definitely got the design right and easily one of my favorites.
