What other cars have you owned, and what’s been your favorite?
#81
I know this is kind of an old thread, but wanted to make my own list, for nostalgia.
82 Chrysler LeBaron
86 Cadillac DeVille
93-ish Buick Skylark
98 Ford Ranger 4cyl Manual
99 Dodge Dakota 8cyl 4x4 Auto
99 Ford Contour SE sport 6cyl
99 Toyota Camry
04 Audi A4 2.0T Quattro Auto (APR ECU + larger FIs)
06 Acura TSX Auto (Current)
07 Honda Odyssey
10 Honda Odyssey (Current)
There's a glut of them around the 98/99 timeframe, all owned at different times, just happened to pick up a lot of used 99's in the last 12 years. My favorite (after mods) was the Audi. Repair and maintenance costs were just too much to keep up with on that one. TSX is 2nd fav. I was actually disappointed with the TSX for about the first month, after trading in the Audi (which needed $2K in maintenance if I was to keep it - after spending 700 on hoses the month before). The Contour was also a blast to drive, but fit and finish was just ok.
I'm also in love with the DSG tranny that Volkwagon/Audi has available now. Shifts fast with absolute precision. Got it in a loaner once, didn't want to give it back....

^love this guy's descriptions. Other than 'wrecked' of course - that just sucks most of the time.
"burned", "most fun, most dangerous", the Blazer description....

I am as well young, but have had my fair share on cars since I started driving only 6 years ago.
-2002 Chevy Trailblazer LS (learned to drive in this one) traded
-2004 Chevy Trailblazer EXT (learned to drive in this one) traded for HHR
-2005 Mazda 6 Auto (my first real car on my own, then dad repoed it LOL)
-2008 Chevy HHR LT2- Still own
-2008 Ford Fusion SE 4cyl (first car i bought, owned 6 months)
-2008 Pontiac G6 GT (loved the car, owned a year and a half, threw keys from the ford to this) * 15% tint, audio set up)
-2008 Acura TL ( this was my fav car. Always wanted a TL, and finally had one, but was always in the shop) owned 7 months
***-2011 Acura TSX V6 TECH- PWP/Ebony, owned a week today, topped the TL, and is by far my most favorite car!
My family is a ford/chevy family, and always has been. But we have slowly started moving out. My grandma will be trading in her HHR for a new MDX soon, and grandpa will be picking up a new Silveraldo crew cab truck!

Yea I liked the way it looked with the chrome tsw rims in this pic but the rims were over 55lbs each. The car rode crappy. It drove and exelerated faster with the works varianzas t1. Unfortunately work rims are made of aluminum foil. Everywhere I went I got a dent.

06 WRX TR (Cobb Stage 2)

11 TSX
I like them all because they each filled the need and want at the time.
I will say my Cobra had the most issues and the Buick had the best ride. TSX has the best overall experience, just enough of this and enough of that.

My favorite one would have to be the s2k. Wasn't the fastest car I had but was a lot of fun the drive w/the top down. Next would be the bimmer, it's just pimp haha. All around nice car to cruise in. The TL had a lot of torque steer from the 6MT. Besides that it was a nice car, my wife likes it the most. G35 was fast and fun to drive. Not as refine as the TL.

im baaaack!!
Yea me too. I went back to the dealer I traded it to3 days later to get it back and they had sold it already. Then they called me a month later if I still wanted it back cause the new owner had blew the motor. Maybe I shouldve told them it was kpro with a higher rev limit. Oops.
