Hey guys and girls,
What were your previous cars?
I drove a 1998 Mercury Mystique (V6) from 1998 to 2000, then I drove a 2000 Ford Focus ZX3 (with a Jackson Racing Supercharger) from 2000 to 2004. Now I got my Mazda 3. So far no regrets.

i always wondered how ppl go through so many cars and when they do list as theirs whether they were in fact theirs.. but then again.. none of my business..
it\'s just that sometimes u go to a board (not only mazda) and you see ppl with at least 3 cars all \'04s or 03s maybe an \'02.. how do they do that? i don\'t bel.ieve EVERYONE is filthy rich.. oh well anwyay
first when we came to canada.. we had a 17yr old cadillac for 400 bux..
so i guess a 1976 caddie - its muffler was almost gone sounded like a tank but it had power seats .. power mirros and crazy tints :p
then there was the 1993 cavalier - it was pretty cheap at the time and got me learning to drive - and a speeding ticket
got rid of the cavalier and then came the 1999 GrandAm SE - i liked that car a lot.. but the AT was kinda boring, we put about 190K on it in 3.5 yrs and traded it in for the current 2004 Accord LX-G
umm still waiting for my first own car - the mazda3
EDIT: i guess i keep thinking that everyone on the message oards is 16 or something - no offence guys - and i keep forgetting that if someone\'s in their 30s they probably have worked for 10yrs or so and that would be roughly 3 car cycles (every 3-4 years a new one)
Parents\' \'92 Buick Regal ever since I got my license at age 16. No other car in between, other than occasional driving the parents\' \'02 Honda Accord. Now it\'s all Mazda3 ... errr, okay maybe once in a blue cheese moon the parents\' \'02 Honda Accord if we\'re going out together.

lol.. i wasn\'t even in canada yet..
1981-1993 foot/bus/streetcar/trolley/bicycle/tricycle
Yeah, I still remember when I got it, barely. It had about 100 000 km\'s on it and needed body work badly, I don\'t know what the owner did to it but I didn\'t think it was possible for a car to rust that much in 5 years. I had the body all fixed up and got the tape player working properly (it cut out every time I went around a corner) and I was the man! I had some good times with that car, ahh the memories....Originally posted by midnightfxgt

*funny story*
I\'d gone back to Waterloo for my second year and the car was in the shop because of transmission problems. The mechanic told my mom and dad that it wasn\'t worth fixing. They went to clean all my stuff out of it and they found this picture I\'d hidden in the glovebox of a stripper sitting on my lap at Tony\'s East. I was trashed, huge smile on my face and a handful of right titty. My old man still asks me what I ended up doing with that picture......
1988 was when i was taking my drivers Ed course. I learned how to drive in the 1988 Subaru that would become mine in 1995.Originally posted by midnightfxgt 1988??? Dr, most of us were in kindergragten or below! :p ~JOHN

Very very nice RAV 4! Probably one of the nicest I\'ve seen. When you told me you had a RAV4 before I pictured a stock one in my mind. :pOriginally posted by bluntman
My first car was a red 91 Acura Integra GS coupe which I lowered, added an exhaust, headers and intake. Lots of fun even if it was an automatic!
My second car was a 97 Toyota RAV4...check it out here.
