Lightbulb What car did you own before TL?

I recently read the thread about people who owned the prelude before the TL.. but Im a numbers guy so I wanted to see a poll of who does.

I personally own a prelude now and will for sure be getting a TL.

Thanks. It truly was a great car. Red with black interior. Sadly, it became the ex-wife's car in '72. I'm kind of re-living the GTO days with the TL. And getting a lot more miles to a gallon!

And to think I was going to get an Accord V6 sedan. My lovely wife of 25 years talked me into the Accura. I love her even more for that.

1980 Dodge Omni (college grad gift; try to control your envy)
1985 Nissan Sentra
1994 Nissan Altima (LOVED that car!)
2000 Toyota Sienna LE (miss the space sometimes)

Did I see where an 18-year-old has a TL? Boy have I made some bad career decisions! Went for the TL at age 42!
