Just sold my 1999 SLK to get the RX8. The SLK served me well for the last few years, and it was a cool car to drive. But unfortunately the hydraulic roof was starting to crap out on me, and was going to cost major $$$ to fix...

2002 Ford Lightning. Bought it in Hawaii. After driving it cross country I was sick of it. Traded it when I got to VA. Believe me driving a car for long trips is much better than that truck.

1999-2004 - MX5
1996-1999 - Del Sol Vtec
1995-1996 - Probe GT
1993-1995 - Old Achieva SCX
1989-1993 - Probe GT

The Mazdas (including the Probe made at the Mazda plant) have never let me down. The Del Sol Vtec was great but lacked air conditioning, which became a must have when I moved to Southern Nevada. The Olds SCX was one of 500 that year, quick, fun, lots of mechanical problems.
