Hey guys. Believe it or not, the Rice Thread got me on this idea.
I'm bored at work... so this post is LONG
Idea:
Post up a list of the cars you wanted to buy throughout your life.
Not necessarily supercars, but cars you really liked, or caught your eye, and were like: If I could afford a new daily driver... i'd consider this" kinda thing.
I've liked a lot of HORRIBLE cars... but also some nice ones.
First Car I Remember Liking:
1990 - 5 years old - Oldsmobile "Betta" (Beretta)
I remember seeing this and really liking the tail lights, and the low front end. That's all I knew, I thought it just looked cool. I also threw a tennis ball at one during recess, which made me notice it for the first time.

1993 - 8 Years old - Sunfire, In Metallic Blue.
I don't like the convertable, but this is the color, and I liked these tail lights (they went through a few changes)
Its sad that this was 2http://images.gtcarlot.com/pictures/32445176.jpg
1995, 10 years old - 1992 Camry V6 LE
This was my dads car. We were on the 401 heading to ottawa and we got it north of 180kph. It taught me that fast is fun.
It ended up being my "first" car as well. (I shared it with my mom)

1999, 14 years old - 1997 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme (in blue again)
Something about the back tail lights, and the really curved glass. I saw cruising around with friends. There was this MINT one with chrome rims and limo tint in brampton, I swear he waxed it daily. it looked pretty damn nice.

2001, 16 years Old - Mid 90's Lexus SC
I got a ride home in one from a job, and it was awesome. What's not to like?

2002, 17 years old - 1992 Camry V6LE
The camry again. Once I started driving it, I loved it.
2004, 19 years old 2002 Audi A4 quattro
Loved the styling. Audi to me was an old persons car until I saw this. To me, this is still an amazing look that has aged really well

2005, 20 years old 2005 Saturn Ion Red Line
Until I figured out GM was shit (and so was saturn... which I guess GM figured out on its own)
I almost bought one, but held off on buying a car and saved some money.

2007, 22 years old... Mazda3 Sedan, GT. In blue.
I was looking for a car, Mazda seemed to fit the bill. Couldn't afford the GT, but ended up falling for Carbon Mica. Still like the blue, but don't regret Carbon Mica.

2008, 23 years old Mazda CX7
Sexiest looking SUV at the time. had also gotten stuck trying to get to the cottage in my Mazda3, Figured this would solve all my problem and bring world peace.

2009, 24 years old - 2007+ Acura TL Type S
I still want this car. Its sexy. I want the Type S, simply becasue its the only model that comes in manual. Practical, but awesome.

2010, 25 years old - 2010 Ford Fusion V6 Sport AWD
Almost traded in my car for a 2010 Ford Fusion V6 Sport AWD, with all the bells and whistles.

2011, 26 Years old - 2011 Suzuki Kizashi, AWD
Was (still am) looking for an AWD Sedan thats decent on gas, drives well and comfortable, and still can handle. Its actually still on my mind as an option.
its distinct, "rare" and drives really nice. But... I'm afraid it'll fall apart or suzuki will abandon the N/A market so I never jumped.
http://www.themotorreport.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/2010-suzuki-kizashi-04-thumb.jpg
Current 28 years old - Jetta/Passat TDI OR Buick Verano 2.0T 6Spd
jetta would be the more practical. But the teenage petrol-head likes the idea of a turbo powered 260hp rocket with heated steering wheel and
I'm looking for something comfortable, Quiet, and great on the highway. Ability to take on some decent snow would be good as well, but I like sedans as opposed to SUV's/CUV's
