I had a 1994 Chevy Beretta Z26 with the craptacular 3.1L V6...man, that car was a p.o.s. that I paid way too much for...Now I have a 2000 Focus LX , a much better car.

Let's see, from first to current, here we go.

2000 Ford Taurus SE wagon red/grey (mom's car that I learned to drive on)
1989 Acura Integra LS black/black- the forgotten 1st generation integra, great car, pop up headlights
1986 Volvo 740 turbo wagon red/tan - had the turbo + package, nice and quick
1989 Mercury Sable GS sedan white/blue - total POS - tranny, radiator failure, car was literally crumbling, force feedback steering wheel
1990 Volvo 740 GL wagon gold/tan - solid, but slow. Great car - not too fun
1988 Volvo 780 bertone coupe black/grey - gorgeous, rare, fun, prv6 engine melted down within a week - dealer took it back
1994 Saturn SC2 Red/Black - great car, all the fun and power of the integra, cheap to run. Only car to die in the line of duty - hit by a DUI hit and run when the alternator gave out
1999 Hyundai Accent White/grey - everyone makes a mistake - this was mine (an epileptic seizure forced me to sell the car - something I didn't mind)
1988 BMW 535i Gold/tan - Beautiful, fast, powerful. 200k+ miles, ran like a dream - trading it in was the biggest mistake I ever made
1999 Ford Contour SE Sport Red/Grey - v6, five speed, great handling, easy to manuever, fun to drive (another car I wish I hadn't traded in)

and now my current car

2002 Ford Focus zx3 black/charcoal - bought at 23k on 2/29/04, as of 7/5/06, it's got 67k on it. Three transaxle rebuilds, two steering racks, lord knows how many tires and brake rotors and pads later, here we are. God I wish I had the BMW or Contour instead.

I presently own a 2007 Focus wagon (looking for cross bars for roof rack),
before that I owned a 2005 Focus sedan, before that a 1999 Ford Ranger. I've been a Ford driver since I started driving in 1975.

I've driven galaxy 500, Falcons, Mavericks, Mustangs, Torinos, Crown Vics & a cousin to Ford, a Mercury Cougar. I haven't as yet found a vehicle that matches the Ford reliabilty. They start and run in below zero temperatures, driving rains. I had an old 1970 Galaxy 500 that the body was rusted so bad, you see the road through the floor board. But in the blizzard of 1977-1978 it was about the only car on the road running. That's my two bits.

First car silver/grey 87 Honda CRX bought in 89. If I only had had the time I would have done the Integra engine swap. I still miss her.
92 Cherokee Sport 4dr. K&N, Flowmaster exhaust, 31" tires, skid plates, 100w off-road lights on custom bumper light bar and H4 headlights. I loved driving the Silver Bullet off-road and in the winter doing 4 wheel sides around the corners. Bought her new.
New 03 ZX5. My Red Rocket which unfortunately looks as though will be traded in on a larger vehicle in the New Year. Overall my favorite driving car.

Mazda Protege AWD (yeah they made them...pretty rare find)

that car rocked in the snow and dirt, wasnt modded though. Geez, now that Darth got that GTX, I really wish i still had that car.
