It is interesting to see what kind of cars you used to before your Scoobie.
I had :
1. Peugote 205 GTI- fun to drive but fell apart from day one.
2. Mazda MX-3 V-6- Liked it a lot, could use more grunt but otherwise, good looks, good handling and reliable.
3. Subaru Impreza Turbo (GT)- Great Great car, everything I want from a car, reliable, handles like a dream and goes like a rocket (5.5 0-60).

1983 Pontiac Bonneville Station-Wagon, Sunshine Yellow (CHEESE WAGON!). What a hog.

1993 Escort LX: Very nice car. Got me there every time, lasted past 200,000 miles (!!) and still running. Not very fast but a lot of fun to drive before I ever drove my scooby. That just ruined it.

2000 RS blue 4-dr: hehehe

[Saw Jai]

1986 Honda Civic Hatchback (DX?)
though its a piece of trash...it kicked ass..I could push it and push it and it would never break down...hehe

soon to be (end of the week)
2000 Subaru Impreza 2.5rs

[Paisan]

1974 Olds 98 Regency Hardtop, 455 Rocket, Was reffered to as both an immovable object and an unstoppable force. Could go fast, carry 6 in comfort and 5-6 stiffs in the trunk.

1983 Dodge Ramcharger, 318, RWD. Huge storage, handled decent, loads of power, fell apart due to cheap dodge interior, doors, etc.

198X Lebaron GTS Turbo. Very nice car, leather, 50 series tires, fast as all hell. Bad tranny and brakes constanty went.

1991 Ford Escort. Bad tranny, AAmco messed it up more, and i had it in there every month during the 2 year warranty. Eventually they scratched it up good, and their insurance company bought it from me.

1997 Isuzu Rodeo. Best car I've ever owned. Beat the piss out of it for 3 years, 115K miles, and only did 1 set of tires, 2 sets of brakes, and oil changes. Runs like the day I took it off the lot.

1988 Subaru XT6. Second best car i've owned. Handles like a dream, tons of power, and all the bells and whistles.

Next.... 2000 Subaru Legacy GT Limited, my first stick, we'll see what happens with it. I'm taking a vote, Black or Timberline Green? Cast your vote today!

[pwrup25RS]

86 MR2 N/A. Auto. I thrashed that thing.

93 MR2 Turbo. Still got it. Still modifiying it.

Needed a 'normal' car. So I got the scooby.

I'll never sell the MR2 or the Impreza. In my book, they're collectables!

@ the ripe young age of 16-

1) my parents old 1987 Acura Legend.
2) My sis moved, so I got her 1996 Volvo 850. (No Turbo)
3) My job was hella far, so I needed a car w/ better gas mileage - 1999 Civic Dx *auto*... Hey, look guys, I had no choice on this one.
4) Last sunday, I just got a fatty scholarship from my college, so well, my new Baby Blue Ridge Pearl '00 2.5RS coupe, with a virginal 7 miles on it. THis one's a keeper!

[AWDriver]

1978 VW Panel Van
-aka "The Shaggin Wagon". Bright green paint, black and white checkered linoleum floor, wood panelled interior, fake sheepskin headliner, 68 HP 2.0L flat 4, over 3500 lbs. I learned to drive a stick in this thing, and loved every minute of it!

1969 Ford F250 Camper Special
-paid $250 bucks, sold 3 months later for $200. Averaged 8 mpg with a 360 V8. AM radio only and NO front brakes (they were disconnected). Not fun in the rain.

1980 BMW 320i
-my first little rocket. Felt fast, very low with BBS rims and really wide, bald tires. Very fun in the dry, not fun in the rain (again). 360 spins were laughably easy to achieve.

1971 Datsun 240Z
-a race car for the street. Snarly straight-6 with 7500 rpm redline, supremely balanced handling, debadged and painted bright red, more than a few people asked me if it was a Ferrari I loved that car, but alas my confidence grew too rapdily and I sideswiped a telephone pole. Totaled, no collision insurance Rear drums brakes are bad.

1984 VW Rabbit GTI
-peppy and fun, lots of exhaust pops and crackles (woohoo!), the best steering feel I've ever experienced. 2100 lbs, light and nimble. A money pit, though, as older VWs tend to be.

1988 Toyota MR2 Supercharged
-why did I sell this?! 1.6L supercharged twin-cam 16 valve 4-cylinder, 0-60 in 6.7 seconds, 7500 rpm redline, mid-engined. Didn't quite live up to it's exotic specifications, but FUN FUN FUN!

2000 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS
-no doubt, the best of the bunch. Feels the most like a big fun toy, able to conquer anything. I've done things in this car that I would never have attempted in anything else. Never ceases to amaze me.

[HomerJay]

Mid eighties Plymouth Horizon(a real piece of s$%#) and then a bullet proof '91 Toyota Camry. Never did much too it except change the oil at a regular interval. Boring to drive but never gave me problems.

[Travis R]

It seems like this thread came up a long time ago, but oh well, it's still fun.
1st car: '82 Chevy Pickup LWB, it had a straight six in it and sucked gas, but it was cheap, $500 from my grandmother.
2nd car: '65 Mustang, 289 V8, plenty of go, not so good stop (4 wheel drum brakes ), I still have it. Anyone wanna buy it? Hey Scooby South, don't you love the looks you get in old muscle cars?
3rd car: '78 Corolla SR-5(the SR-% was the "hot rod"), this car was free and I drove it like I stole it everyday. This car refused to die, and it ran better the day I sold it for $750 than when I got it. Hey Boxerman, don't you love the looks you get in clapped out old Jap cars?
4th car: '99 Impreza 2.5 RS, what can I say, it beats the pants off all my previous cars.
5th car: (looking into my crystal ball) '02 Impreza Turbo, what can I say it's going to blow the doors off of all my previous cars (and alot of other peoples cars too).
