Still driving my trusty 95 Nissan 4WD pickup with 230k miles ( It's effing snowing again!). But my last CAR was another trusty '83 DATSUN Maxima RWD wagon with a straight 6. Donated it to Salvation Army when I bought my truck. Wish I still had it. Sold my 86 Fleetwood Brougham when I moved from New Orleans to Kansas City in 98. LOVED that barge but had to choose which one to keep for the move.

Currently a AS200 Toyota Altezza, Planning on selling in the near future. Saving like crazy for a RX8.

Not even close to a sports car, but heck, mud munching was pretty fun too. Then again, 14 MPG from a L4 was a little depressing. I have to drive my RX-8 HARD to have mileage that bad...

My last car is a all white Kouki AE86 coupe. Its back in Cailforna and my family is taking care of it while I do this whole military thing. I love that care, I couldnt get rid of that thing when I got my rx8.

I really love this car more than my RX8... but I couldnt ship it from PuertoRico to the 50 states just because it needed a lot of work to make it street legal in the US (states).

specs:
1992 Nissan Sentra
GA16DE made Turbo (stock internals)
50/63 Turbine
Greddy BOV
External WG vented
3"DP and back
Stage 3 pp w/ Stage 2 clutch disk and reinforced fork
SR20DE ECU with 2Step (Launch control)



still missing that bad boy

My previous vehicle was a 1996 Jeep GC with 168,000 miles. The main reason for buying the Prius, besides the mileage, was C4C came along at the right time for me.

I went from a Suburban that I drove for 5 years to a 77 Chevy C10 (only drove a week before parking it) that I loved but only got like 8mpg. I drive 100 miles a day so gas was killing me. My hubby picked me up from work one day and he had gotten me my electric blue rx8 .... now I am in love! With my car of course.

I pretty much just completed the cycle again. Started with a 2005 Velocity Red 8, then 88 RX7, and finished up with a 2008 RX8. We pretty much stuck with Mazdas here.

1987 Mazda 323 silver --> 2006 Mazda RX8 Type S Silver

Wifes got a 626 Mazda, we did have V6 929 before that.

Have found them to be great cars over the years normally get 7 years trouble free driving per car.

323 got sold as getting parts was getting harder i.e speedo cable.
