I had a 1980 Mitsubishi Starion Turbo (I think you guys have them as Conquests over there) I paid $9-25nz for change of ownership fully road legal and spent another $1000nz doing maintenance and fixing little problems.

She wasn't the prettiest car, but boy was it fun to drive! hehe ;)
 
I have a Acura 1999 Silver TL with nav, but since i bought my legend, my tl just sits there with a cover over it. I also received a 1969 Mercedes 280S (like the top of line model back then im told) from my stepmother for free. Didn't run look like it sat for 20 years dents everywhere.so i got bored and i restored that with some help, havnt finshed it all yet but here some pics of that so far.

LeRoy, absolutely amazing car...I'd say one of the most underrated and underappreciated cars I know. I learned to drive on an 850 Turbo, and that thing could really move.
 
Yeah, not everybody likes Volvos - but there is something very special about them.....particularly when they have 245hp under the hood. :2cool:

I thought the torque steer was really bad until I got the Protege - literally run off the road if the turbo kicked in around a corner....
 
I'm 27 and here is the list of cars that I have owned.

1987 Pontiac Grand Am - POS traded in on next
1995 Chevy S10 - gave to dad
1997 Honda Accord SE - Gave to mom
1995 Honda Accord - Traded on next car
2002 Accord V6 coupe - Totaled (2 stoned kids hit from behind at a light doing 50 me and the wife spent a day in the hospital).
1999 Acura CL - best damn car I ever had. Sold
2004 Acura TSX - wifes until she drove the Legend. Sold
1994 Legend GS - Totaled Hurricane Ivan
1993 Legend L Sedan - Wifes
1992 Legend L coupe - Mine
2004 Nissan Frontier - Mine for sale !

In the pics above you can see the CL and accord. The TSX was behind the accord, but not in pics...
 
My ride list

1957 Chevy Belair Coupe - my first! Burgundy with black rolled-n-pleated seats, 283 V8 and baby moons. If I only had it now. :(
1963 Corvair Monza coupe - 4 spd and lot of fun. Rebuilt the engine as a project.
1969 Buick Skylark coupe - got me through grad school
1976 Mercury Capri - 5 spd, German Ford V6. Lots of fun, too! Made the Kessel run in 14 parsecs! :D
1978 International Scout - Amazing hauling capacity, but rust bucket.
1981 Audi 5000 diesel - last car I ever got a speeding ticket in. :rolleyes:
1983 Honda Prelude - 5 spd that lasted through 2 kids learning to drive. Miss it dearly!
1986 Honda Accord EX - wife's sedan she abused.
1992 Acura Legend LS - my current pride and joy!! :)
1993 Honda Accord EX - daughter's ride totaled by a runaway Expedition :eek:
1995 Ford Explorer XLS - sold to my nephew
1995 Acura Integra Special Edition - 5 spd that my daughter now has full time.
2005 Volvo XC90 T6 - replacement for Explorer. Really nice!

1981 Ford Econoline 150 Custom Van (no pic, dad took it back too, before I could use the foldout bed in back ;) )

Image

FINALLY someone else believes so too...a very underrated/unappreciated car. I was in love with those cars. I particularly like the Wagon's design.

aaannnny hoo....

that little red thing...It was super reliable when i was driving it. it was my sister's car it was slow, 2 door, red, and automatically shifted 4cyl (everything abhorable in a car to me personally) but it was trasnporation...

its condition you see in that pic is SERIOUSLY down. my sister ran that car into the ground. she lost one of the factory alloys so there's a steelie on it. half hte bumper is missing, there's a huge gouge up the side of the car. i mean she really sucked at keeping the car up and....managing to avoid hitting sh*t:giggle:

the legend is technically my first car, and i worked hard as hell to earn it.
