Hmmm cant find a pic of my first car anywhere on the web. It was the mighty Pontiac J2000 Wagon (metallic green) hand me down. Damn thing had three gears (4th was busted), and it overheated like crazy so i basically drove around all year with the heater on. :p :D
'05 xB traded in for the Fit. Fun car, lots of attention even though stock.
Prior cars to that in order: '88 Ford Bronco II Eddie Bauer (free from folks', was near mint), '95 Chrysler Sebring LX (fun car too), '89 Escort GT (bought new), '77 Ford LTD II, '81 Ford Mustang LX coupe, '73 Toyota Celica GT coupe (first car. painted with housepaint; cans were in the truck when we bought it)

Like the trim level there on the Probe....so I assume your Marquis was the De Sade?
Hahaa, thanks. I made that sticker when I worked at Carmax. That was an actual carmax sticker, I cut it to make it say Anal. :p
Thanks also. The Probe I bought off a friend for $500, he was moving to Maryland and it had a boost leak. Swapped out a boot and it was fine. Added a side exit exhaust, filter, EPROM, and a BC. Ran a 14.5@98mph on the OEM clutch which slowly started to slip after the added boost. Car got 26mpg, had AC, (fixed it) looked great, but it wasnt good for a daily. After I installed an ACT clutch I knew Id break the trans. I raced the Probe more than my Mx6.
Did minor appearance mods also. Slammed it on my Mx6's old struts and coilovers, found those BBS's at a junker. Painted them myself. It first had bronze GST swirlies, I painted them purple. People copied me so I had to change it up.
The Marq was something I found for my aunt from Carmax. It was traded in by some kid whos grand parents died. He had no use for it. We picked it up for $500 with 64,000miles. She had it for a year and gave it to me since she moved. I fixed minor things. Tuneup, brakes, all new tires, alignment, blah blah. All that. Drove like a dream; I loved it. Not a care in the world when driving that thing. You could hit people, cars, animals and not feel anything. :D
Theres some really nice cars in this thread. Almost hard to believe some of you are driving Fits now. Big change in styling.
I know you're probably sick of seeing cars like this but here is #29 out of the 30 cars I've owned:
That is a 1904 'Curved Dash Oldsmoble Pie Wagon Replica. I bought it for a rolling billboard for my business but changed my mind and sold it about a year later. Nothing like tiller steering at 25 MPH on bicycle tires--it was a white knuckle ride. It is one of the more 'interesting' vehicles I've owned.

Must have been a slow day at Carmax.....:D
Yes, the Marquis all ride well, the first one I drove (1980s car) surprised me, much better than my LONG departed 1983 Coupe de Ville.... I think the de Ville was the only "domesticated" car I actually held titel to....
