Previous cars... in order

1994 Chevy Cavalier - bought new, co-signed by dad, manual transmission and 10 disc CD changer
1987 Ford Bronco II Eddie Bauer - bought in mint condition in 1997
1996 Chevy Malibu (for the wife) - bought in spring 1998, had 6 speaker sound, all the bells and whistles, except leather and sunroof
1998 Pontiac Sunfire - sold Bronco to my sister (bad mistake)
2000 Chrysler Cirrus - all bells and whistles, leather, etc
2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee - wife traded in the Malibu for new Jeep
2002 Dodge Dakota Club Cab - had for 10 months
2003 Ford Focus ZX5 SES - most recent car, traded the Dodge Dakota in for it, modded the hell out of it and watched it fall apart on the way to get my 8
2006 Chrysler Town & Country - DVD multidisc, family wagon for trips and groceries
2005 Mazda RX-8 GS - finally got a real man's toy

This was my last ride: '04 Ram Rumble Bee 4x4, I bought new in '04. Loved the truck and never seen another truck that I liked more. When I bought it, I had a boat and a 4 wheeler. Lost interest in both of those toys and got into motorcycles so I didn't really need a truck any more. I ran out of mod ideas for it and decided I wanted something "fun" to drive with "a little" better gas milage. Traded it staight across for my '04 VR RX8.

1993 Toyota Paseo. Drove her for 11 years. She died a couple of months ago ... and then the 8 entered the picture. All is well. I miss the Paseo's gas mileage, though

1998 Mazda 626DX 5spdMan Trans... Still have it and it just broke 100,000k miles. Worth so much more to keep. Good gas mileage and drives on CA ragedy roads for my everyday commute.

Might give it to someone, but afraid it will not be treated right

79 RX-7 limited edition <-going to resotre. 160,000 on original motor that still runs strong.
02 Protege5 that my daughter drives. great little car.

Previous mazdas:
93 626 ES V6 5spd that finally died with 200,000 miles.
90 626 GT 5 door. another fun car.
90 626 DX

Inheritted my fathers Ford Tarus SHO... forgot how much fun it was to drive fast...(used to drive his sports cars growing up)
this lead to a Honda Sabre 1100 motorcycle... forgot how much fun to drive fast like a mental case....
job required "nice" car got a new 2007 Camry (boring)
moved to a place that required a 4 wheel drive ... got and still have a Toyota FJ Cruiser... fun but can't get out of it's own way
finally... in summer drive my "puts a smile on my face" RX-8, manual of course! BEST CAR EVER
seems like I would have had more cars after 27 years...
