Lets see what everyone drove before getting the MS3

Big switch from a '96 Jaguar Vanden Plas to the MS3. Lot's more fun and lots less $$

Wow that RX8 is really nice. I bet it was hard getting rid of her. I dont have a speed3 right as this very moment... but hopefully by the end of the month. Keeping the fingers crossed.

Cars Ive had

95 Chevy S10 Blazer (I miss her, she was my first lol)
95 Eclipse GS (Big Peice)
02 Protege 5 (My baby till the engine had a knock..parting everything out if anyone needs anything. Shameless plug)
94 Hyundai Scoupe (My current Delivery Car)
98 Eclipse GST (Scared the F**K outta me 365whp @ 15 psi, Caged, Forged.. it was crazy)

See I dont discriminate.

I still drive the Focus to remind me how much better the factories can mod cars than I can.

Yeah it was hard getting rid of the RX-8. I needed something more practical to carry stuff and our dogs. So I convinced my wife the Speed3 is for me :)

Wish I had not sold it after all the work I did to it.

1999 BMW 323is Dinan. Loved that car. Horrible seats and interior though for a 30k+ car when new.

1998 Ford Ranger XLT Crew(on the left). My dad's new truck on the right.
Modified with light bar, Bilstein shocks(gave it a bit of a lift), and K&N CAI. Had to sell it cause of poor ass MPG (12MPG average!)

Feels damn weird going from the truck to the rocket! Also, the rocket was my first car for a manual. Learned the basics in 2 days and was ready to go.

The base crossfire was replaced by the SRT-6(Which will be getting sold to a relative shortly), my cobra was sold to make room for a new toy later down the road, either 08 vette or GT500, and the MS3 replaced the Camaro as my Daily driver.
