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!
1978 International Scout - Amazing hauling capacity, but rust bucket.
1981 Audi 5000 diesel - last car I ever got a speeding ticket in.
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
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!

 

1967 Plymouth Fury II (no pic, dad took it back )

1952 Pontiac Chieftain (PO chopped it into a convertible, had a straight 8, and was a real head turner, dad took it back )

Pontiac hood ornament:

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

1965 AMC Rambler Classic 660 (this thing was actually ingenious, 4.7L V8, 18+mpg, options: LSD, disc brakes, etc.)

My actual color (ugly I know, diff. went out after 30+ years)

1985 Honda CRX (I loved this one, it got wrecked)

1967 Ford Galaxie 500 (I believe it had the 6.4 L V8, 315 bhp. It was fast, and could beat most cars by a good amount, dad took it back once I had a car. )

1981 Honda Nighthawk CB650SC (fun, still have it, needs work)

1987 Acura Legend L (still have it, working on it)

1990 Acura Legend L (no pic, wrecked, so I took some parts and donated it)

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.

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

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

 

i used to drive a blue '87 hatchback accord, with 15" alloys, a 2.0 prelude si engine, and a 12" bass tube in the trunk> But the car gave me so much trouble, i really dont miss it. Sorry, no pics

 

i had a 94 olds cutlass sierra..i gave it to my niece and she blew the trans in 2 months!

 

This was my first car. This was the first yrs of Honda in America. The car had to get like 100mpg cause I remember my brother put like a dollar's worth of gas(in 87) in the car and we rode for like a week.

 

lets see...
-86 toyota cressida-------aunt got it crashed, junked
-88 toyota cressida-------BHG, SOLD
-91 toyota camry---------Gave to sister
-90 acura integra LS------SOLD to friend
-94 Honda Accord---------Traded for my friends souped up crx
-88 Honda CRX SI---------Got stolen
-91 acura integra LS special--crashed then restored, then sold
-98 Mitsubishi Eclipse GST--making over 300 horses...traded for lexus
-2000 Lexus RX300------wifey's car--still have it..
-1987 Toyota Supra------motor blew up.....didn't pick it up at impound..
-1991 Acura Legend LS-----bought it for 2500....found out a day after i bought it that it had a bhg...all fixed up....still have it.....and if this car doesn't break down again next year...i'll throw some mods at it....

 

My first car was my worst--------- 97 DOgde neon, glad i wrecked it(worst car ever made)
2nd car---87 honda accord(ran hot and i left it on the side of the road,didnt see it the next day)
3rd car--- 92 Acura Vigor(a lady ran a stop sign and ran into me)
4th car --- 97 cadillac catera still have it(enjoys the sport mode botton)
5th car-----91 acura legend coupe(just drove 11 hours from downtown miami , enjoyed the speedy ride
6th car---- 87 honda accord LXi(runs good but park in garage, needs tires)

1973 Chevrolet Chevelle (2 dr) - boneyard
1985 Chevrolet Celebrity (4 dr) - sold to friend
1992 Acura Legend L sedan - daily driver
1994 Acura Legend L coupe - limited use

 

I had a Frost white 1990 Honda Prelude Si (Pop up lights) with an H23 swap after I blew the stock motor. That car was so freaking fun to drive it would rev all the way to 8000 RPM. I did alot of stupid things in that car of course i was just a dumb high school kid then. Sold it to a buddy of mines and he recked it against a Fire Hydrent.

 

1993 Chevy S10 Blazer...Had it for a few months and encountered too many problems to count. Although it did get me to Michigan and back a few times. Sold it when it hadn't even reached 100K yet.

 

i drove a 00 prelude heres whats left of her...

The Legend was quite an upgrade from the PU.
