What cars did you own before your MSP?

How do some of you go through so many cars? lol, get bored?
For me:
1985 4-cyl Mustang [4-speed] What can I say, I worked at wal-mart, it's all I could afford!
1988 Mustang LX 5.0 Hatchback [5-speed] Still have this after 9 years, great car. It's now my 'project car', still runs great because I haven't put any parts on it yet lol.
2003 Mustang Cobra [6-speed] This is one I always considered a 'rental', mostly because of how it came into my hands (which I won't go into) and I never planned on keeping it very long. It was my 'nice car with AC until I found what I really wanted'. Also, it had ~500hp (stock is 390) which was also a nice perk. The only race I know of where it didn't win was against a new Z06, in which it tied. BUT, I needed more money for my project car above, so went with something practical:
2003 Spicy MSP [5-speed, of course] The most practical car I could make myself buy

- 2003.5 mazdaspeed protege
heres my list on fine automobiles. well most aren't great lol but anyways
90 Chevy Astro Van. First car given to me when i got my license. lots of memories in the back of the van
96 oldsmobile cutlass sierra. i drove this half the time along with me astro van.
95 suzuki esteem. never drove it cause the previous owner skipped town on me with the title.
91 mazda protege. paid $400 for it, put 50,000 miles on it in a year, only had to replace the radiator, got roughly 40 miles to the gallon, and made a lot of money delivering pizzas in it. total beater car though.
03.5 lazer blue MSP. fell in love with this car the day i saw it and by the end of the week it was mine. love the car but thinking about trading it in on something different.

Jeez, I feel so inadequate as far as car ownership has gone. My list is pretty short.
1990 RX-7 GXL (Since I got the MSP, this has been torn apart countless times and is partway through a Supercharged conversion)
2003 MSP
The bad part about it is I'm a bit spoilt I guess you could say. I've tried driving other peoples cars and they feel horrendously sluggish and poor at cornering compared to my cars, as I've never really owned a beater (though, that GXL was a beater when I got it. Blew up the transmission within 1000 miles. Got a used one from a junkyard and that blew up within another 5000. It's on it's second engine, second set of suspension, etc etc. Pretty impressive that it was still running on the original engine when I got it at 155 thousand miles though.)

Well I bought the 240 a few months after the msp and sold it a few months later.. It didnt run, lol..
i went from a 1986 gts corolla... blew the engine lol
99 mazda protege lx... turnounted the dealership lied and said they fix any problems. but me being very young and not knowing, i didn't ask for a receipt, so i sold the car. it needed a couple things fixed but i managed to sell it anyway.
found my MSP, i searched for so long, i searched for months. i had patiences, i waited until i found an orange msp. i was gonna go up to new york but luckly, i found one 15 miles from my house... 16k to 14k.. haha, well negotiated, i got my spicy MSP!
i still have it almost 3 years later.
