I have had a collection of pretty much every ride Honda made, all gens of the Civic, a Prelude, a Legend, and a couple Teggies. Before I bought my IX I owned a couple of Skylines, one right after the other, an R33 GTS-T and then and R33 GTR. I also have had a ride for the wifey, now it's a Honda Odyssey before this it was an Escalade on 23's.

lol Probably have too much torque if you've never drifted before. It was tough learning with the 240RWHP the 240sx had. Just too much power to quickly. Get a FC RX-7 and when the rotary blows put a LS1 in that :D

Damn. I was driving Evo before Evo and Focus before Evo no.1, Lincoln before Focus, Fiat before Lincoln, Mini before Fiat, BMW before Mini, Pontiac before BMW and Opel Before Pontiac. I think That's it. And some random cars in between. :)

There was 1964 Ford Lotus Cortina
There was 1967 MB BGT
There was 1969 Mustang Special
All of them were perfectly restored.
Some 735i, Mercedes300E, Audi A8, VW Passat, 1998 Peugeot 605 2L Turbo
and probably something else.... I have to think...

I'm guessing you live in Europe for a bit no? Awesome list of cars though.

Apex, they must have been quite suprised when you traded in the Sportage for any Evo lol. If I ever won the lottery I want to find the shittiest beat up car I can find and drive it up to a Ferrari/Lambo/Porsche dealership and see what they say when I tell them I want to trade it in :D

Well, I was driving my dad's Toyota Previa for couple years, then moved to a black 2000 Civic Si. The SI got stolen in Dealership during maintenance. Then got into 93 Integra, 96 Nissan Maxima for a short period. My brother got the Supra in 2001. Drove a little bit of that. Got 95 240sx in 05 and modded it like crazy. End up to be not very daily drivable anymore.... Sold the 240 and got a G35 for DD. Give the G35 to my Aunt for her to drive, and got a 2008 Lexus IS350 for DD. Got a 2003 Yellow S2000 for track purpose and also a part of DD. Felt the S was not making enough torque and traded it for a X.

Started out with a Datsun 210 when I was 16, followed by a late model Ford Thunderbird Elan. After we found out that the Thunderbird might have been a stolen car, we traded it in for a new 1985 Trans Am at the dealership. Kept that for 10 years until it started falling apart at 85,000 miles. After that bought a new 1996 Ford Bronco Eddie Bauer edition to pull a snowmobile trailer, and shortly thereafter also bought a 1999 Ford Escort LX for a commuter car to commute to Washington, DC for work, and then also bought a 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse, and a 2003 Evo VIII. A few years later, sold the Escort, then the Bronco to a guy in Florida, kept the Eclipse and Evo, and just bought a 2002 BMW M5. The modified Eclipse is now up for sale cause I need the money for other things.
