1991 Toyota Camry V-6 (bought new for dad, who gave it back when he stopped driving in 2002 with 40K miles on it), which was a reliable appliance that I do not miss at all. Sold it with less than 70K miles.
Stock 1988 Integra LS 5-speed manual which I still have and should probably sell. I prefer the TL, although the Integra feels lighter and has a more direct steering response than the TL.

Here is my list in order from most recent.

1997 Acura Integra (Still own)
1999 Chevy S10 (Still own)
1990 Ford Taurus SHO (Still own)
1990 Nissan 300ZX (RIP)
1989 Ford Thunderbird (Sold)
1984 Ford Mustang GT Convertible (RIP)

Probably will dump the SHO because it is not running well...
I want to sell the Integra, but my Mom visits from the Mainland every few months and doesn't want me to sell it as she borrows it while she is here...
Keeping the Truck. Always useful to have a truck!

1972 Plymouth Valiant. Hand me down from Grandpa. It had a 318 and was a rocket, must have been a really light car.

1968 Chevelle Malibu 4 door with 307. Another hand me down with only 28K miles when I got it. This is the one that kills me when I think about letting it go. What a moron.

1993 GMC Typhoon. 4.3L turbo/intercooled V6, full time 4 wheel drive.

1997 Acura Integra GSR 4 Door. Great car, miss it.

1997 Accord EX Coupe. I really enjoyed driving it and it broke my heart when the end came—I had 99,016 miles on it and was driving home from work, stopped at the end of a line of cars for a red light and some 18-year-old girl driving a Volvo 240 wagon plowed squarely into the back of the car at 25 mph. Thank God I had stopped short of blocking the intersection, which is the only reason I didn't go right into the car in front of me. Over $7,000 in damage, so the insurance carriers called it a total loss and I had the TL a week later. The TL is a much nicer car and I'm very happy to have it, but that Accord was a great car, reliable, fun to drive, good on gas mileage, etc.

This was how it looked the following morning (I had it towed home):




Prior to the Accord I had had a 1986 Acura Legend, then before that a 1982 Accord, then before that a 1977 Ford Granada that I drove in high school.

Had a 2002 1.8T Passat 5-spd.

The only thing I miss is no car payment and less of a gas bill.

yeah its sound deafening at 80mph. But opening her up at full throttle was music to my ears. Only engine performance mods i had were aem cai, jdm 4-1, 2.5 carsound cat, 2.5 mandrel bent exhaust, 2.5 es tuning muffler. With this setup, it was too loud when vtec hit. fun car nonetheless; had a blast during the h-t 1st expo at buttonwillows.

seems a majority of ppl in this post are performance oriented. Out of curiousity, what will you buy next?
for me, i told myself it'll be a manual with atleast alot of horses. z06, gt500 are the two that pops in my mind at the moment and would probably more then likely get the mustang soon.
what's yours?
