1977 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme - White (My bro's hand me down)
1988 Doge Colt DL - Metallic Blue (First car I bought myself for $5000 used)
1995 Acura Integra GSR - Black (Fast little 4-banger, my favorite until my T4R)

1979 Chevy Monte Carlo (baby blue...what was I thinking!)
1985 Pontiac 6000 STE (digital dash...hey, it was pretty cool back then)
1991 Dodge Daytona (creaky and squeaky, but looked good)
1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo (my first new car ever)
2003 4Runner (first of probably many to come)

I guess based on my unintentional 6-model-year trend/gap, I'll be due for a new Runner in 2009.

I drove a 90 Acura Legend, 94 Acra Legend, and a 01 Eclipes GT. Man I miss that car. I wish I never gave it up. Only had 44, 000 miles and would have been paid off this comming March. O well love my 01 4runner.

 

[Griffeycom]

I had a 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS, 5-Speed with only 46K on it when I bought it (Nov. 2004). What a piece of junk. I had the clutch go out at 55K! Lots of other problems too, Chicks digged it though :-/... but sold it and got a '98 Runner.

My cars i have owned in the past:

1992 Toyota Tercel 4 door
1986 Pontiac Trans AM with a SB 305cid
1997 Tacoma 4x4, lifted about 7 inches with 33's, this was my light trail truck
1982 Toyota 4x4, custom suspension with double shackle set up in the rear, dual InchWorm transfer cases with a wicked low gear crawl ratio on 36" Swampers.
2002 Acura RSX Type S with more illegal race parts that could have had me doing jail time if i was caught by the EPA, lol. But that little coupe would out launch, and out run the new Mustang GT's with out breaking a sweat.

I see there's some ex-import tuners in this group as well. I especially liked that 400hp silver EG hatch a few pages back (forgot your Username). I guess I've always been into Hondas from the start, but then as marraige comes along, priorities start popping up as well. Anyway, heres a list of my old rides. Some are R.I.P. due to mindless people, driving with their cell phones.

1. 89 Acura Integra - this car turned out to become POS since I was only a teen and didn't know a wrench from a screwdriver. Sold it after I blew the motor and went through 2 trannies before that.

2. 92 Honda Civic Si - quick little car and was immaculate until it was totaled.

3. 95 Honda Civic Si (again :biggrin2: ) This one got hit (totaled) by a lunatic, with 2 kids in his Tahoe, running a red light. I'm lucky to be alive on this one. (thank God)

4. 98 Acura Integra GSR - I absolutely put my blood, sweat, and tears into this car. It made 311hp (turbo charged). I put every peice of the turbo setup together, and also tuned it myself by doing some goodole internet research. I sold it recently to get my current T4R. :sobbing:

5. 06 Toyota 4Runner V6 SE 4x4 - Absolutely love this Truck! But if it hadn't been for my new family (baby boy on the way ), I would have kept my Acura. I miss driving a manual car. I still haven't lost the tuning bug, so we'll see what's in store for the T4R.
