Here you go NZ
  • 1972 Mercedes 280 SEL
  • 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE (manual)
  • 1988 Mazda B2000 (Manual) This thing was power NOTHING
  • 1991 Mitsubishi Galant
  • 1999 Mazda 626
  • 2000 Ford Explorer 4wd - Eddie Bauer
  • 2000 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner
  • 2005 BMW X3
  • 2019 Mazda CX-5 2.5L Turbo (current Daily Driver)

The RX-8 originally replaced the 626 which I ended up gifting to my Father who was in need of a more reliable car. I drove the 8 daily for about 3 years but every vehicle on that list starting with the Ford Explorer basically took over daily driving duties for the 8 at one point or another.

I've owned many cars since becoming a licensed driver in 2000. With the exception of my first few years and the past couple, I have only ever owned 1 vehicle at a time. Generally something multipurpose for work / school, etc. And yes, my first three cars were every generation of rx7 and I owned them at the same time.

-1990 mazda rx7 GTU, blue, 5-speed, cloth
-1982 mazda rx7 GSL, black, 5-speed, red leather
-1994 mazda rx7 base, white, 5-speed, cloth
-1974 mazda rx4 coupe, olive green, 4speed, vinyl
-1988 subaru GL sedan, maroon, 3-speed auto (crazy gas mileage)
-1989 mazda b2200 2wd, silver, 5-speed, cloth
-1965 chevy corvair monza coupe (project car but DD'er), primer black, 4-speed (awesome rat rod lowered on mags with 1st gen rx7 seats, smashed 3 sets of headers before I eventually sucked a valve)
-1984 mazda rx7 GS, red, 5-speed, cloth
-1985 civic hatchback, 5-speed, silver, cloth (best car ever, never should have sold)
-2004 rx8 GT, red, 6-speed, leather
-2001 audi A6 avant s-line awd, silver, 5-speed, leather (pos, I'll personally never own another german vehicle)
-2004 focus SVT, silver, 6-speed, leather (fun little car with the recaro seats)
-1989 323 GT-X awd, black, 5-speed, cloth buckets (+ white 1990 323 parts car)
-2012 mazdaspeed3 w tech package, silver, 6-speed, cloth
-2009 rx8 r3, black, 6-speed, cloth
-2008 F250 6.4TD 4x4, champagne / gold, 5-speed auto, leather (easily my favorite vehicle to date)

And it's super fun to see that there are three B2x00 series trucks listed! Mine was a good truck, prefect for loading up the sport bike.

I got my licence in 1975.

Technically now my last car was a 2004 RX8 LY GT.
I'm driving a 2004 WB GT 8 until I can get a new engine for the LY.
