'96 Nissan Sentra GXE 5-speed. High school car. I hated the car, but at least I had one - and a new one at that. Then I had to get rid of it - leased - but was glad to let it go. Then...'98 Honda Civic EX Coupe 5-speed. College car. Now has 150K miles on it and drives like new. I'll miss it when my TSX comes in. Oh well, I bet the TSX won't take long to win my heart over.

sprint springs & kyb shocks
front and rear strut tower bars
sps intake with a twistec coolbox
sps spark plug wires
blue interior lighting accents
2 800 watt pioneer subs, 4 panasonic 45W mid+high range speakers, 800 watt amp
white/blue guages
blue exterior lighting accents & hyperblue headlights
so much blood, sweat, and tears.
soccer mom in a caddy made a left turn in front of me while i was going through an intersection.......RIP my little saturn. :crying: had 165k miles and no problems whatsoever. i know, i know, a saturn station wagon........but at least i had something really unique that was actually easy on the eyes too.

(learned on) '83 Olds Delta 88 Auto
'70 Volvo 144S 4MT
'88 Toyota Corolla 4MT
'96 Civic EX 5MT
'04 Acura TSX 6MT
And despite what anyone will say, I love all of them. Mom still drives the '88 regularly, and I'd still be driving the '96 had I not been run over by an elderly woman who ran a stop sign. But I survived that and now have a TSX. Can't complain!
Same Mom who flipped ten times over when attempting to teach me stick in that old Volvo. Dad took me out later that day, forcing me up a large hill and I did just fine!
She now jokes at why I am a religious manual transmission driver...umm, while you loved to drive a manual, Dad somehow knew how to teach it to a 17yo! Thirteen years later, I love my TSX!

'02 VW Jetta 1.8T GLS, sold it at 29K miles. It had to go to the shop twice in 2 months, and I knew it was time to dump it. Sold it to a college kid (well, his dad) for $14,000. Now I've got a black TSX w/navi and I love it. The TSX is a little slower off the line than the Jetta, but it's a million times superior in every other way.

Company Lease Cars
my cars are all provided by my firm, and have to have auto and four doors, which takes some fun out of it.
2001 VW Jetta GLX with 17" wheels and sports suspension; wonderful car to throw around, but terrible electrical system failures, turning it in early
1999 Mazda Millenia, "inherited" from someone who left my firm, underpowered luxoboat
1996 Mercury Mystique, a fully loaded small V6 with European underpinnings from Ford Europe. Nice car that never caught on in the US under the Contour or Mystique badge, survives in Europe as the Mondeo, fun to drive, fully loaded interior
Nissan Altima: an unfortunate experience best not remembered
Mercury Sable: Had several before they bloated the size up, decent roadworthy car, but not fun to drive.

Ahhh sweet memories...First Car, first love: 1976 BMW 3.0 Si
As Teutonic as it gets....every time stepping on the gas jerked head back...very hard to
stay within speed limit...always reached 90+ MPH before you realized it.
They don't make cars like this any more....
I'd trade in my TSX for one in good condition

79 Blazer AT
86 Prelude 5MT
94 Camry LE AT
96 Civic EX Sedan 5MT
99 CR-V LX AT
04 TSX Navi PWP 5AT
Camry was decent but had too many needed repairs... CR-V is still wife's car. Camry pretty much was her car too (she prefers AT). Basicall,y Blazer was HS car and Prelude was college car.
I love the TSX.
