Hmm I'll go family cars
First family car: 1978 or something yellow Chevy Nova.  It was a beast and it blew up in my garage burned the house down in '88.  We've never bought a chevy again.

second car: '88 white Taurus.  The car was nice, it was fully loaded, used of course.  Had the car from 1989 to 1996. It was notorious for breaking down on the way to Florida each summer.  One year we went from Chattanooga Tennessee to Sarasota Florida without Air Conditioning in the July heat because altinator didn't work or something. classic.

'94 Olds Cutlass. Got it from Grandma and Grandpa after the Taurus.  Didn't have it too long. 96-1999

'00 Olds Silhoutte- (still in use)- best vehicle we've had. Its been to every state east of the mississippi plus Ontario, Kansas and Colorado.

'96 Bonneville aka the big boat- grandma's car.  The thing is huge, massively huge and oddly shaped.  Probably will ditch it for a smaller car once we find the money.

'00- ZX2- dad's car. It's got 200,000 miles on it and it has parkinsons. It shakes badly. But it runs, we need it to.  I work out of it.

First and current car is a silver 2004 Mazda 3 with a nitro-injection system for teh turbo boost.

Ok, that last part is bullshit but sometimes when I'm on the road I pretend I'm Mad Max!

For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of Juan Valdez
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of coffee forever.

Thats cheating Tenk! I had already hit quoted reply when I saw that there wasnt nitrous. I was going to ask what system you had in it.. I had a buddy with an AWD talon huffing nitrous.. that thing would light up all four tires and take off NOW. We replaced the engine a year after he got it.. with no nitrous.

nitrous voids the warranty.
