Lets see what everyone drove before getting the MS3

[lestat13]

I had a long line of cars passed down to me after I first got my license which all seemed to die within a year of getting:

1987 Chevrolet Celebrity
1986 Oldsmobile Cutlas
1992 Honda Accord (2xx,000 miles)

Then I bought a 1991 protege which got destroyed and sent me to the hospital in a hit and run. For a while I drove my girlfriend's 1998 Dodge Stratus, when her headgasket blew we shared her sister's Saturn SL1, I bought a $500 Ford Ranger to get me around before buying my first real project car, my 1996 Acura Integra

I had a tendency of getting $100 sets of wheels on craigslist, and went through about 4 sets over the course of owning the car. I sounddeadened the entire inside, did a tan to black interior conversion (painting and replacing parts) and did some other fun things. Just sold it to get the mazdaspeed3.

Another fellow Ford guy I see (except for your one fling with that Pontyak!)

I've had a 90 Mustang GT 5spd, 98 Ford Explorer, 98 Contour V6 5spd, 91 Mustang GT 5spd, and now my 08 MS3. If Ford would offer something more interesting I would have bought it, but at least the MS3 has some Ford parts in it.
