This was my last ride: '04 Ram Rumble Bee 4x4, I bought new in '04. Loved the truck and never seen another truck that I liked more. When I bought it, I had a boat and a 4 wheeler. Lost interest in both of those toys and got into motorcycles so I didn't really need a truck any more. I ran out of mod ideas for it and decided I wanted something "fun" to drive with "a little" better gas milage. Traded it staight across for my '04 VR RX8.

1998 Mazda 626DX 5spdMan Trans... Still have it and it just broke 100,000k miles. Worth so much more to keep. Good gas mileage and drives on CA ragedy roads for my everyday commute.
Might give it to someone, but afraid it will not be treated right

1979 chevy chevette @ 16 yrs old (hand me down from mom) -manual
the only air conditioning was a hole in the floorboards!
1984 volkswagen fox:manual.....ahh, college....good memories
1991 Pontiac Grand Am (first new car)... marriage, carted kids, got trashed after 12 years of kids eating, peeing, puking, you name it....
car finally died.
Inheritted my fathers Ford Tarus SHO... forgot how much fun it was to drive fast...(used to drive his sports cars growing up)
this lead to a Honda Sabre 1100 motorcycle... forgot how much fun to drive fast like a mental case....
job required "nice" car got a new 2007 Camry (boring)
moved to a place that required a 4 wheel drive ... got and still have a Toyota FJ Cruiser... fun but can't get out of it's own way
finally... in summer drive my "puts a smile on my face" RX-8, manual of course! BEST CAR EVER
seems like I would have had more cars after 27 years...
