'85 Mitsubushi Galant - stock
'91 Integra LS - mods included: Eibach springs, Tokico adj. shocks, Dinan chip, Dyno-max exhaust, 16-inch 6-spoke rims, Alpine CD player and changer, G&S separates, and two kicker 12'. I loved that car, it was dialed perfectly, I felt totally comfortable going 80mph in a four-wheel skid. Sold it and got a red-light photo ticket in the mail for the new owner blasting thru a red light in San Diego... the close up picture of the driver showed he was have fun...
'92 Vigor GS - stock, its my beater car now.
'99 TL - mods include 17in chrome rims, comptech springs, comptech exhaust, and an air freshener

1998 Dodge Grand Caravan w/ 160k miles. Extremely underpowered (3.0V6) and extra stinky (oil leaks at every seal). Drove it till the wheels fell off...literaly. It was however, very reliable. We bought an '02 TL-S to replace it. It's the wife's car now, but I get to drive it to work on Friday's

2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee, but then my dad didn't think it was pimp enough for me so I got the TL 
j/k
after my brother totalled his volvo and walked out with only a couple of cuts my parents decided that the jeep just wasnt safe enough. I didnt complain one bit.

I had a 1981 Geo Metro convertable. Truely the pimpest car out there it got me all the ladies. For real though I had a 99 Chevy Camaro and the engine overheated, the battery sparked and it ended up blowing up in my driveway. Thank god for full coverage and I was introduced to my TL which I'm almost glad the camaro blew up.

Lots!!!
First car: 1994 Accord LX
Second: 1997 MB C280 Sport. Black/Black, AMG wheels/suspension/steering, Eisenmann Exhaust, Stereo stuff....
Third: My S2000 (still have this one!) Too much to list now....
First winter with the S: 1989 Audi 200 Turbo FWD. Clean, but turbo was shot!
Second Winter: 1996 Tahoe. Loved it, but $400 every month in gas alone was killing me!!! By the time I sold it, all the chrome and side moldings were off, front windows were tinted, had an exhaust put on. Looked hot all blacked out, and sounded great, without being obnoxious!
This winter: The TL....hopefully I keep it longer then the last two "winter beaters"

i wish your C280 had the DTM style exhaust, it would look much better and match the look of the C36 and C43
nice...i got the Anthracite TL too~

I had a 1997 Oldsmobile Bravada.
It was a trusty car that got me through alot. but it was time to say goodbye once maintaining it just got to be too expensive

Everything I've owned since I started driving in '87
'78 Ford LTD II - Large green boat, lots of room in back seat!
'79 Dodge Omni 2.2 - Total junk, blew the engine on the highway.
'87 Toyota Celica GT - Short gearing made this car quite quick for a 2.0L.
'90 Mustang LX 5.0 - Bolted a blower on it and she ran 12's.
'92 Corvette LT1 - Nice ride for the time, though not as quick as the modded stang.
'96 Audi A4 2.8 - Nice looking, but slow and expensive to maintain.
'03 TL Type S - Bland looking, but performance and reliability make up for it. Still loving it.

Sam: Yeah, I know. I almost traded it in for a 96 C36 AMG, but it was a year older, had about 10K more miles, and I would have had to pay another 3 grand for it.....just didnt seem worth it, and the S2 was more appealing to me!
