What other cars have you owned ?

I though it would be interesting to see the progression of prior vehicles that led up to your Boxster purchase.

Here’s mine :

Honda CRX – used ( 1st car )
Chevy S-10 Pickup – used ( college )
Mitsubishi Eclipse - new
Honda Accord - new
Jeep Grand Cherokee - new
Porsche 924S - used
Jaguar X-Type - new
Porsche Boxster - used
Mercedes Benz C280 – used

( plus a GSX-R750, 2 Ninja ZX-6’s, HD Sportster, Softail, and Road Glide )

Nick

76 Nova hatch
81 Plymouth Omni
88 Pontiac Le Mans
96 Honda Civic coupe
91 Mazda Miata (still own)
99 Boxster

No real theme there the miata was the first car I got that I wanted. Never really thought about the boxster, just one of those things that kinda fell into my lap, though a 911 has been on my someday list for a while.

I think I've these in following order (can't remember what year)
-Mitsubishi Galant (80's)

-Honda Civic (80's)

-Mercury Sable Station wagon (early 90's and kids love the rear seat where they could make funny faces facing the driver)

-Ford Taurus SHO (early 90's, I though It was the best looking car I've owned @ that time)

-Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited (early 90's, white and has gold trimmings and my first SUV)
*during my outdoor/camping activities, I got this 3 trucks)
-Ford Bronco (late 80's, in Black and silver to reperesent Raider Nation and my first toy)

-Chevy Suburban (early 90's and of course in forest green color)

-Dodge Ram 1500 (late 90's, Black and Silver to match my Bronco when pulling it)
*after loosing my job and start saving, I got rid of the trucks and bought*

-93 Mercury Villager (after 198,000 miles it finally gave up 2 years ago)
-88 Ford Bronco II (donated by one of our church members and we still have it)

Now,
99 Boxster
03 C230 M/B Coupe

I like the fact that I've owned all sorts of cars and that I'm only 24

My next car is either going to be a Z4 M Roadster, 2007 Boxster S or 1997 NSX.
