Found a picture of my first love. This picture is identical to my first car down to the tires. 1978 Rally Sport Camaro.

1989 Pontiac Sunbird 5MT. Bought a off-the-lot stripper model (right out of college, not much money), without even A/C or tach. Was an absolutely fantastic car - not much pickup, but NEVER WENT IN THE SHOP in 100K miles. Not even an alignment. (Oh, one muffler.)

1995 Toyota Camry - Gave to my sister, and she then sold it. Heard is still going around town.

Plus a few mini-vans in there, for the family.

Current TL is at 53K miles, and original brembo's are still going strong, and just as dusty as ever.

On a side note: There was a thread a while back where a guy posted his life history of all the cars that he owned, with pictures, and all kinds of information. Was a fascinating read. Some of you may remember it. The guy's favorite car was a white Nissan 240 or 300. I did some searches, but don't quite know what to look for.

2000 Jeep Wrangler Sport Edition

First and only vehicle I ever bought new. Fun to ride in especially with the top down. Thing had no acceleration and got about 16 mpg. No regrets buying an Acura to replace her.

Then- Black 1997 Nissan Maixma SE.

Now- NBP 2007 TL Type-S

10 year jump.... It was definitely a nice upgrade, but I do miss my Maxima. It was a great car and wouldn't be hesitant to go back to a Maxima if I decided to.

Had an 08 Si Sedan, 07 Honda S2k and an 06 Yamaha R6 before jumping into the 07 TL-S. Also had a ton of other things before that.

TL-S has the perfect blend of comfort, roominess and power/handling for an overall DD.

Had a 2001 Volvo S40 Turbo... lasted until 175k miles when the fourth cylinder went. Sorry don't have any pictures handy!

No comparison between my 2006 TL and that Volvo... Acura wins hand down in every category will never go back to a volvo... way too much maintenance and the parts were expensive!
