Well I never "owned" that Acura I had free and clear... It was stolen 8 months after I bought it, and 3 weeks after I put a very rare set of 12.5lb 17" wheels on it.

I guess I'll add mine, although Chris took a couple of them as his own.

60something VW Bug - sold
POS Nissan Pulsar - handed down to sisters
1982 Rx-7 - sold to notveryhappyjack
1986 Buick Somerset - rocked those icy streets in upstate NY
2000 Ford Escort ZX2 - sold
2000 BMW 540 FOR SALE
1995 Vovlo 850 (ours)- sold to a lovely couple in Bonney Lake
2002 BMW MCoupe - the current DD

That's some pretty good evolution if you ask me.

CHris and I went to test drive a Volvo C30 over the weekend to see how they feel, but didn't - no manual trannys at the dealer - how can sell these as "tuner cars" with ATs and tan interior?
