I drove a 2001 Chevy Prizm before it got totaled then I bought a 1999 Nissan Maxima, then I sold that and bought a 2004 Hyundai Elantra. Now I am in the market for another Maxima so I will be back in the club soon enough!

97 Subaru Outback
My parents gave it to me, had 75k when I got it, and three years later sold it with 140k for $3300. Spent a week in the middle of summer replacing headgaskets, and finally let it go when the oil leak(rear seperater plate) would have req an engine pull. Great car in the snow(esp with the blizzaks) but the power was on the soft side. Probably get a newer one if the Maxima ever dies(only 205K)and at this rate, the Maxima will probably be around for quite a while. Now that I have snow tires on the Maxima, I really don't need 4wd/awd. Woke up to 20" of snow and was pleasantly surprised that I didnt get stuck today.

I had a 92 civic CX with an LS swap that I blew a piston on due to an oil leak. Bought the maxima as a daily driver so I could make the civic my racer. Later on got a K20 in the hatch with some bolt ons and made ~235 fwhp and ~160 wtrq and it got stolen right before I installed the speakers, alarms and subs. Before that I drove the Honda stock.

A 1983 Buick Regal. Learned to drive on it, passed on to me from my brothers. Looked like this, albeit with a LOT more rust, scratches and dents 
Wasn't really into cars back then, but I do remember feeling like I could be beat off the line by a delivery man on a 10speed bicycle. Insult to injury, someone broke into it and stole my radio, which was a detachable face unit. Yep, they stole just the body. Eventually got tired of nothing working (heat, brakes, and some mysterious smoke from the steering column that would randomly come and go), saved up some cash and bought 'my' first car on my own in 2005 -a 4th gen- which brought me here. Never looked back since, and stayed in the family.
