First car was a 1989 Corrolla. Loved that car never broke down on me once and I learned how to drive stick with it.
Second car was a 1990 Acura Integra. I was my uncle's and he finally gave up after 12 years I took good care of it but it was stolen since i was living in Langley Park at the time.
Third car was an 1992 legend sedan loved that car too but it was starting to go.
Fourth car 2003 SSM CL-S 6 speed. Love this car first big time purchase. I had just graduated college and started my new career, so i decided to reward myself.

1. Juggled between a 1995 Ford Aerostar XL and 1997 Toyota Corolla. They got me from point A to B although, the Aerostar almost flipped on me once when I lost control of it trying to break hard on a lightchange. As well, the car was terrible in the snow.
2. Best car? My CL of course...most luxury and power I've ever owned so far.
3. Since 2001, the CL-S!

Owned or driven as a demo? I've driven many many cars for a couple weeks at a time as a demo or dealer trade for customer pickup courtesy of the family business. I've driven everything from Ferrari to Bentley on trades but ownership is as follows.
Owned:
1. 88 Dodge Diplomat (5.9L police package w/straight pipes, $1,200)
2. 89 Plymouth Reliant (Was given, yes given to me by an elderly gentleman who had purchased a car from us, 54k original miles. I turned around and sold it a month later)
3. 89 Accord 5MT
4. 95 Camaro Z-28 6MT (Chip, Intake, Borla Exhaust, Hurst Shift)
5. 91 Celica AllTrac Turbo 5MT (3S-GTE, turbo upgrade, boost controller, intake, exhaust, etc.. 12.7@119.3mph, killed the tranny after all the 5-5.5k clutch drops needed to launch it properly.)
6. 95 Grand Am GT project (3100 bored to 3.3L, P&P heads, P&P intake mani. upper and lower, etc... aka waste of money)
7. GP GTX w/3.1" pulley, headers, exhaust, intake, and aftercooler. 13.2@104mph (Involed in major accident, totalled)
8. 97 Trans Am WS6 6MT (3.73, Intake, Exhaust, Headers, Port and Polish Intake Manifold/Heads, Larger TB.)
9. 1997.5 Supra Twin Turbo (Originally bought dirt cheap with body damage as a project car, but after digging deeper realized it wasn't worth it and sold the car)
10. 2000 Firebird Firehawk 6MT -still own- (orded brand new, after taking delivery added vortech v9 supercharger/intercooler, etc... ran 10.17@134mph best with drags)
11. 2002 Grand Am GT1 (Eaton S/C, Intake, Etc...)
12. 2002 Acura CLS -still own- (had comptech s/c, headers, intake, HBP, i/c, but they were damaged in accident, just purchased new headers and in the process of ordering new s/c, HBP, i/c.)
13. 2005 Mercedes AMG SL65 -still own- (stock, but not for long with my current investments/properties paying off. I'm looking to purchase the RennTech ECU)
Yes I know my current stable is slighty overkill for someone my age, I've always purchased everything myself, and nothing was really ever handed to me except for the plymouth. Yes I work for family so I have a slight advantage as far as income there and deals on cars, but quite a bit of my income has come from investments/properties as well. The way I figure it I might as well live it up now before I'm married. I guess I should be doing that um paperwork I came in early to finish.. haha. Opps! Back to work I go.

2001 Civic Si (Cdn version of EX). Kitted with nice rims, system, intake, etc.
2001 CL-S, stock aside from high end audio (McIntosh, Nakamichi, Focal, W7), Aside from Rotora Rotors and Axis Ultimates. Just installed CAI, and bought 18s. Headers and suspension in february. I've had the CL for a long time now, and wanted to move to the V8 S4, but decided i should buy real estate instead. so time to spice up the CL a bit.

Are you asking me how they were as far as my opinion of them, if so which? I've driven many of the models produced by each. As far as Bentley I've driven the Arnage R and Continental GT. If you are referring to the Ferrari I've driven anything from the 612 Scaglietti, F430, 575M and 550 Maranello, 360 Modena, and a 1989 Testarossa. I've also driven anything from Lamborghini Murcielago, Gallardo, and Diablo VT, Aston Martin Vanquish and DB9, Rolls Royce, etc.. I could go on for days, but obviously you get the idea. These were all dealer related, and aren't my personal cars for any NOOBS that can't read and will attempt to flame me for saying I own these cars.
