Now this is my kind of topic! The thing is though, I don't exactly have a record of long car ownership. Nothing wrong with them, I guess I just like to shake things up now and again. Can anyone top 4 cars in 5 years?

Planned: 2003 or 4 Subaru Baja (better for the snow)

Current: 2000 Jetta VR6 (yummy fast)

3rd: 1996 Toyota Celica Convertible (pretty)

2nd: 1996 Mazda Miata (loud catback, cool plates)
http://www.berkeleybryan.com/parts/p...sp?P=337&W=200

1st: 1996 Toyota Corolla (40MPG - prolly shoulda just stuck with this one)

I drive a 2000 Maxima GLE... Every option except the Seat warmers... Like I need those in FL!

Dave has a picture somewhere... I'll get him to find it and post it up.

Edit by Dave

No, that's what we do here in San Diego - and it's not when it gets to 60, but when it hits 68

For the sponsorship, I mean that I'm not going to sink a boat load of money into a drag car w/out being backed by a sponsor.

What in the world is a MinPin??

All I have is my old truck, 87' Ford Extended cab. Runs great, is in great shape and rides like a car.

Yep, just a car for her to learn to drive in, until she passes test. Bmw too big for her learn in (and wont let her go near it). When she passes will buy her something that is less likely to be driven into a few lampposts

Rabbit/Golf - Nothing outragous, just a Restoration project. While the Golf was very popular here, there are very few early Mk2's in Original pristine condition left.

The Citroen is an awesome rally car. I wish they would import it to the states. I also hear that overseas they have an AWD Cougar. That would have been fun to play with.
