1992 Pontiac Sunbird (3.1V6) This was my first car and I bought it for a steal while in high school. I got it in 1998 and it ran with minimal issues until the tranny, brakes, and electrical system all pretty much crapped-out within a month of each other at around 160k miles. Good car for the money, and the white leather interior was very nice.

2003 Mazda 6S (3.0V6) This was the first "real" car that i bought, and i got it in 2005. It was in stellar condition, and the only major repair I had was to replace the front bumber after a racoon incident on the interstate. I recently sold this car for about 1/2 what I bought it for in 2005, again, very good car for the money. Loved this car!

2009 Nissan 370z (3.8V6) Being my first actual "new" car, I love it. The price was right, and the car drives and handled like a dream. Best car I have ever owned, and probably the best all-around car I have ever driven. I love this vehicle, and hope to have it for the long-haul.

Heh - my brother-in-law bought a Zodiac this year except I think it has 50HP. That thing is pretty damned quick but I don't think I'd want to go top speed in it (he claims it will go 50MPH). My pontoon is huge but only has 90HP so it's pretty sluggish.

lol nevermind man, I don't know why but I thought a pontoon would be a Zodiac inflatable type boat. In Polish it translates into that. Yea I just googled what you have, not even in the same class lol.

1991 Dodge Shadow America - the only option it had was A/C. Sported a two-speaker radio.
1989 Shelby CSX - Really miss this one. Sold it to stay in school. One of 500.
1992 Dodge Daytona IROC R/T - Stock 224HP motor, it moved, to say the least. Lots of cool options in this one including seats w/ inflatable lumbar / bolsters.
1989 Dodge Shadow ES - 2.5 Turbo, had lots of parts set aside to build a nice 300+HP motor, then ran out of money. Sold it off along with all of the parts
1990 Acura Integra - Nothing much to say here. I had no cash and picked this up for $900, sold it off after 20K miles to buy a...
2001 VW GTI - 1.8T, loved it, broke it, upgraded it. Sold it since a baby was on the way

Now, the stable is made up of :

1995 Subaru Legacy - Mine, can't wait to get rid of it. It's green, it's auto, it's 14 years old with 205K on it...the things we do to save money. I want my fun cars back

BOLD = currently own

84 Olds Cutlass Calais (this is the RWD g-body, not the fwd crap) first car, 1996. buick 3.8 2bbl later upgraded to 4bbl. still slow.

85 Olds 442 (this is the RWD g-body, not the fwd crap) Olds 307 v8. better than the v6 of the previous car but still slow. rare, got some looks.

87 Buick Grand National fast! lots of goodies added, faster still. was a daily driver in college. now it collects dust in my garage still gets looks when i take it out.

87 Chevy Monte Carlo SS tired 305 swapped for stock longblock 350 with aftermarket cam/heads/intake/exhaust. only owned 1 year, was a "beater" for places i didnt want to take the GN

97 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP replaced the SS. better winter car, more modern amenities. first car with cup holders! did a few mods. respectable performance. a friend of mine owns it now.

06 Pontiac GTO this was my 3rd car along with the gtp and gn. lots o' fun. became mostly a daily driver. exhaust, lower suspension, wheels. developed some vibration problems that i was unable fix. got tired of throwing parts at the issue. gtp was already sold by now and wasnt liking the small gto trunk and poor rear seat entry.

08 Pontiac G8 GT replaced the gto. i love this car. has the speed of the goat (even more now) but the seating and cargo capacity of a large car. doesnt eat gas. mpg are decent for what its capable of. sounds sweet with the long tube headers.

01 Chevy S-10 Xtreme added this to my collection a few months ago for the occasional large haul home. own a house now (as of jan) and this has come in handy hauling the occasional large item home. its also my stormy weather beater so the g8 stays safe

Pretty short for me:

1981 Chevy Chevette - not bad as a starter car I suppose, wrecked it about a year after I got it.
1972 Ford LTD - Bottle green monster with a 351W, had fun with it but in the kind of shape that required a lot of babying - like sitting in the car for 10 minutes in the winter with your foot slightly on the gas so it won't stall before it warms up. Got it up to 105 mph once and it was never the same afterward.
1976 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme - Only had this a couple months, another crapbox that resulted in a couple embarrassing breakdown.
1979 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale - White with mag rims, it was quite the pimpmobile and served me well for a few years. The weak 301 V8 was its real dragging point.
1989 Nissan Sentra - Stepping up in the world, a very basic car that went a few years before someone cracked it up on me (with me in the passenger seat).
1990 Nissan Stanza - Pretty peppy for a four cylinder, drove this one into the ground too.
1991 Toyota Tercel - Hold over for a couple months after the above car died.
2003 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 - current vehicle, very pleased with it overall.
Also have the 1970 Dodge Challenger in my sig, but since it's never been in "driving" condition it doesn't really count I don't think.
