The first car I was driving was an '89 Lincoln Continental (mom's car)
My first car of my own was a '99 Saturn SC2 3-door coupe, which I leased at the end of my senior year of high school (I've gotta find a pic...)
(I wish I knew how to resize pics... Sorry)
From that I went to my '97 Z3 2.8L, which I've had for 4 1/2 years, and is now for sale.
My former '95 325is. I've been dating the girl that bought it for 1 1/2 years now
AND.... My RX-8!

I used to love my old cobalt blue Kia Sephia. People always underestimated it until they got to ride in it. After all, what could a puny little econobox do?
It was a fun little car and got me across the country many times before some guy who couldn't speak english and had no insurance ran a redlight.
Totalled.
Blue, as it was named, was actually purchased after it was totalled out by a local who fixed it. So my old car still lives!
My RX's name? Nova Blue.
(P.S.: the license plate reads "kamikaze." I found it a rather amusing addition ^_^)

Wow everyone has had decent cars or cheap cars with some work done to them. I had a POS 2000 ford escort ZX2 with over a 100,000 miles on it. The 10 disc cd changer that came with it had a mind of its own. It would stall out during the winter while i would drive it usually around turns (loss of power steering would really suck). The sway bar in the back was not attached to the frame because the bolt one one side rusted through. Wasn't inspected because it had an exhaust leak more like a disconnection. The bumber in the back at 2 dents in it. There was a mark down the right side. It was my first car and i really beat the hell out of it. Now i completly baby my 8.

Drove a 2000 turbo Civic EX that ran 13.2 in the 1/4 mile with the 1.6L SOHC motor on 8 psi. Leather interior from a GSR, Civic SI lookalike, Precision SC50 turbo etc.
Then I got a 97 M3 sedan 5spd which was an incredible car
Picked up a beater 92 Aztec Red Sentra SE-R with n/a SR20DE, boltons and suspension. It ran 14.3 in the 1/4 on slicks
Then I got my RX8which is bone stock
I also drive my girlfriend's 00 Grand Prix White S2000 a lot and autocross it.

Many posters NEED to learn how to use photo editing programs to reduce the dang size of their bloated pics.
I drove this 1994 Acura Integra GSR hatchback for many years before my RX-8. I think I sold it to a good home. I folded the driver's side mirror so that's why it doesn't look quite right.

My last (& first) car was a 2003 Mazda Protege LX. Alas it was automatic, or I would've still had it otherwise.
I fell in love with its steering feel and agile handling. Became a car enthusiast. Saw the RX-8 released a few months after purchasing the Protege. Been wanting the 8 since.
I totally loved the color. Laser blue is still my favorite color.
