I drove a 1998 Jetta much like this:
Despite my love for VW, it was because of that car that I got a brand new honda. Nickle and Diming me left and right.
I love my GE now
Still fun and sporty like the jetta.

Since everyone's going back to their first car... I guess I'll run my list, and, for brevity's sake, only list my daily drivers.
2001 Mazda Tribute (what a parts and repair hog)
2001 VW Golf (sold it due to high oil consumption)
1993 Jeep Cherokee Sport (T-boned by an idiot driver running a light)
1989 Plymouth Voyager (ahh The Minivan years)
1990 Geo Tracker (fun, but Teensy)
1983 VW Westfalia Camper Van (fun but expensive to fix)
1985 Camaro (fast but a flexible flyer)
1979 Chevy Luv 4x4 (tough lil truck)
1979 Renault LeCar (was I the only one to like these?)
1976 Honda Civic (died in a flood)
1970 VW Bus (crossed the US and rebuilt the engine in my dining room)
1967 VW Bug (with snow tires it was a mini-tank)
1966 Chevy Corvair (if they were REALLY unsafe, I'd have killed myself in this one)
1960 Rambler American (as Jake Blues sez, it was a 'lay-down Rambler)
Ironically, I still think of the Rambler as having been about the perfect size, 100" wheelbase. The Fit fits my 'ideal size' criteria at 98" The Corvair had the longest wheelbase of any of these beasts, at 108" Just an observation...

-94 Civic DX coupe, minime swap, D2 coilovers, LS brake swap, gutted.
-95 Civic DX coupe, Z6 swap, lots of jaydeem parts
-04' SE-R Spec V, stock.
Not much variety, but the SE-R was sort of a mistake for me. I've always been a hardcore Honda guy - but the price was right and I needed a car. Unfortunately the car fell victim to the common precat failure, conveniently past the emissions warranty and started eating oil. Traded it in and never looked back.

We just just sold our BMW 550i and Range Rover, still own a 89 3/4 Ton Chevy Pickup.
Picked up a 2010 Black Pilot Touring w/RES a few weeks ago and ordered a 2010 Black Fit Sport AT w/Navi which I am waiting not so patiently to arrive.
Here are a few pics of the outgoing vehicles.

Red 99 Acura Integra LS. Didn't even get a chance to mod it before some asshole stole it, gutted it, and left it in the middle of the road in the ghetto
Was in practically brand new condition with 120,000 miles on it.

It amazes me how many of us have let go of some pretty expensive and high end vehicles and now have something much more practical and economical. Really helps to make me feel like I'm not all alone in this phase of life. The Fit was a good choice though because it feels and looks sporty and handles pretty darn well.

I could never afford a new BMW, however, I have owned one continuously since 1972. That has been my fun/weekend car. I have had a 2nd car for everyday/work use; and it was time to get another little fun car that has great gas mileage as the Fit. I'm taking it easy until it's broken in. Need 600 miles on it and have about 300 on it now.
