[911fever]

I used to like 5th gen Prelude's a lot, had two of them.

I hear ya', I want a Challenger R/T 6-speed in a very, very bad way.

[94boosted]

Honda Civic's Had One Never Did(will) Again

Never liked these cars much but I got it because it was great on gas reliable and ok to drive but I don't think I will ever own one again too slow for my tastes

[Xamim]

S2000... the more I look at them, the more I dislike them.:nut:

[italia06]

Most imports.

im more into Classic American muscle and Bikes now. i currently own a Classic Chevrolet.

[psycoticclown]

Used to love the new Challenger, last gen Mustang, Charger, Skylines and the 300C... now I can't stand Mustangs, Challengers are still nice but I don't care too much about, Mustangs and 300C's are all over the place and some Chargers are nice, but the interiors are shit.

[sh0ko]

supras

[2EFNFAST]

dodge stealth tt.

not a junk car per say, but man, i didn't realize how unrealiable & heavy tehy are!

[R154]

I really used to love mercedes/bimmers. Day by day I find myself loving imports more and more.

My next car will be a USDM supra tt. 6speed black/black please :drool:

nothing sexier then 800HP and the whistle of a borg warner. The back end floats out as the clutch goes in, every shift marked with a ball of fire scorching the undercarrige of my aggressor.

[pinoyhero]

Desperately wanted a final gen CRX as my first car ... never got it, into slightly better now

[atgilchrist]

VW Corrado, used to think they were unreal. :nut:

[Tik-Tok]

SN95 Mustangs

Because they are

[AE92_TreunoSC]

FBodys, easily. Owned one (3rdgen), it was a giant piece of shit, but I still wanted a 4th gen SS or a WS6....


then I sat it one and drove it....

Now I'm 100% import, jap or euro haha.

[Ekliptix]

hondas, then I drove a V8. The rest is history.

[SI_futbol]

mr2's, i secretly still love them i think, maybe its just cause my engined seized and i'm lazy haha.

this. Although my V8 is an audi, I really can't stand Japanese cars now, they feel so watered down. I am a big German fan now. I will never go back. :D

[signature7]

integra, rsx, celica, and even at one point i really wanted an mx-3 as my first car.

Quoted for truth

[BigMass]

big V8s. Then I realized I wasn’t having any fun with them unless I was driving 200km/h. Went to small, nice handling, low powered imports and never looked back. I can ring them out and drive them like a maniac. Feels fast and I’m staying relatively legal.

[Cueman]

Surpised at the number of guys moving away from Japanese cars.

I thought I was the only one.

[ZorroAMG]

Amen to that.

I had two ST-162 Celicas, man the golden years....Hence the user name.

[kevie88]

S13's.. Man what horrible rust bucket pieces of shit. I still look back on the S13 I bought from Auto*cough*dream as the worst mistake I ever made financially.

totally killed Nissans for me.

[buh_buh]

just heavily modding cars in general

[NickGT]

Originally I wanted a late 80's prelude for my first car. But couldn't quite afford one that was in decent shape. Ended up with a Mustang... Rest is history..

Hahah, I suppose so, I have a fetish for big luxury coupes, I recently picked up a SC400 as well.

300CE's/E320 coupes are fantastic cars, in a special class, they were extremely expensive new, 25k+ more than a SC400 or Legend Coupe LS, which are both superior in performance, features, and arguably luxury. They are hard to find, allot of the owners hang onto them forever! JDM might be a good bet, I saw quite a few nice ones coming out of there with nice looking AMG body kits. They also hold their value very well.

[962 kid]

Subarus :thumbsdow used to think they were the tits, now I can't stand them. Hate the way they sound, hate the way they look, hate the way they're built.

[B20EF]

DSM's, I used to love the way my talon looked - then I realized that was the only thing good about it.

4th gen preludes, this was a while ago now, I haven't had a car in such a long time that I would take anything now.

[banned3x]

my fav cars back in the day were crx's anything honda/acura. now im into 300c's/chargers and i really want a srt8 jeep:drool:
i cant dish out big bucks to maintain a german car but if i did id get a c63 amg :drool: :drool:

[narou]

I really wanted a teg with some ugly body kit in Grade 10 :P

[scat19]

Ecotec Sunfire with a bodykit when I was in highschool. Uuhhh what was I thinkin?

been in love with german cars ever since. driving my littler 3'er for 5 years now!

[masoncgy]

My 1983 5.0L Mustang coupe... nothing was greater... however, it certainly did not stand up to my abuse...

Still love Mustangs... but have moved on from the boxy 80s coupes... ;)

[benz_890]

i had a fetish for crx's
until i realized they're slower than Civics haha

[Tomaz]

I used to want a 1992 240SX with an SR20 swap, body kit, big stereo, underglow, NOS!!!!!, all your usual post-FnF junk. :rolleyes:

Now into near-stock Euros! :thumbsup:

I had a fetish for the ZZT231 Celica (00-05)....

I still have a fetish for the ST204 Celica (94-99) and the original IS300.

[Kloubek]

A lot has changed as far as my perception of cars. It's due in part to the fact that styles and performance has changed, as well as my ability to afford newer vehicles than I could in my 20's....

I used to be all over the 86+ RX7's and Supras. Now I really wouldn't want either. I thought my 91 Z28 was the shit at the time, but now it only looks appropriate if you wear gold chains and show chest hair.

Even my dream car - a late 80's Corvette - is far less appealing. (Probably because the C5's are not THAT much more now...)

Someone mentioned DSM's. For a tuner car, I still think there is little out there that can touch it in terms of hp/$ upgrades. If I was younger, it would still be something to strongly consider.

[legendboy]

cars in general

[Neil4Speed]

I was also obsessed with W140 Mercedes Coupes - still really nice cars, but huge, expensive to run and kind of unreliable.

I loved 1.8T's for the longest time as well just for the fuel mileage.

And I also went through a Subaru Legacy GT phase for a bit, not to sure why though.

Not going to put a new motor in enzo? I'm really leaning toward that option, I'm pretty sure I'm going to keep this car forever.

[TravisD62]

i'll probably be the only one to say this,
but euro's. my 330ci and 1.8t were the biggest pieces of trash i ever owned. stock e46, and the dub only had a chip. and now i'm driving a 98dx. underpowered as all hell but there's something about 600k to a tank and never having to reapir anything for 50,000km i can't get enough of. definatly loving honda's atm!

Ha ha. I still remember when the S13/S14 craze was at it's peak and I could never understand what the big deal was as they were crap cars with no rust protection at all.

For me I would have to say Hondas. I liked my 94 Si Coupe and 94 delsol VTEC but I used to think they were sporty and reletively quick. Now I look at them for what they were.....Civics. Nothing special at all, slow, and horrible factory paint.

[XylathaneGTR]

As my username will state...SkylineGTR's.

Back when I was 15, oh lawdy they were the king of everything...I was in love it them and they were the ultimate personifcation of heaven...Nothing could touch a GTR in my mind.

[Moe Man]

I always wanted the 5.0, so I got one....this is my second one

except that nothing can touch them in their segment. 20 y/o cars with 10 grand in to the motor/turbo/suspension SPANKS evo's and Sti's rs4's you name it. Fastest import car in alberta right now is a skyline. (1/4)

I dont understand any of you. When you "grow up" you think euro's are cool?

Jesus, what about performance. I guess once a ricer, always a ricer.

Continue with your rims and lips...

[rage2]

Porsche 944 Turbos.

I've spent just a little over half the money invested in that car on the M3, and it makes twice the power on pump gas. And everytime I go for a drive, I don't smell like Mobil 1. Nuff said.

[SikAssR1]

Old school V-dubs (rabbits, GTI's etc)

[canuckcarguy]

Porsche air-cooled 911s. I used to think this would be the ultimate car - great styling, fun to drive, relatively simple to maintain, and not prohibitively expensive to buy or drive.

Then I bought one. It was pretty fun to drive, but it was really unimpressive, performance-wise. And after a couple of summers, I kind of wondered what the hell I'd been thinking.

I still think they look terrific. But I wouldn't want another one unless it was a turbo.

The good news is, they sure hold their value, those 2 summers hardly cost me anything.

[MoDo27]

The sr20det 240's were popular because they were a more reliable and just as potentially quick platform as the DSM's.

However, facts are facts..a Mustang with minimal shit will fuck both of them up dollar for dollar and on an all out expenditure absolutely embarrass them.

The same thing is happening now that happened in the 90's..all the turbo imports came into North America and the Vette and Mustang sent their asses packing back to Japan (RX7,3000GT/Stealth,Supra etc etc)

EXACT same thing is going on right now with the Viper, ACR, Vette Z06/ZR1 vs GTR. The new Stang, Challenger and Camaro will take care of the rest.

Are you sure it's not a DSM? Ron's car runs 10.4 I believe.

DSM's, NSX's, 911's and Ducati's I still love all of them after owning them. I've been trying to think of a car that I used to love but wouldn't want right now and I can't.

Except they look horribly outdated and most specimens look like they just rolled out of the dump. If you put 10 grand into any motor you can make it fast so what's your point?

I think he's running off of the fastest Import list, which Ron isn't on because he didn't run last year. You're right though, I'm pretty sure that is the fastest AB import.

I disagree. Mustangs were a little quicker stock, but it takes almost nothing to get a DSM up to 300 horses, or close to it. The "fact" is that a turbo car is always easier to squeeze more horses out of than a n/a. Besides that, it's not all about straight-line performance. A Talon will lose a Mustang in the twisties all day long...

[sxtasy]

I would also have to say jap cars, since I bought my first brand new truck I don't think I could ever live without one. One day I will buy a V8 sportscar.
