      @scottalanmiller RX7's are really good fun, but there's only one rule they obey like clockwork:

      Boost goes in, apex seals come out.

        Yeah, the engine is a bit much to maintain. But what a car to drive.

          I've had a Mazda continuously since 2001. They are great. My number one choice for Asian-made cars for sure. The only one that I would go out of my way to buy. I have a 1988 Mazda RX7 convertible that I took @dominica out on our first day the evening that I bought it. That car is old and garaged but was an incredible drive.

          I bought a yellow 2002 PR5 that @dominica liked so much she bought a matching blue one the next weekend!!

          Traded in the 2002 for a 2003 Mazda 6 that was so nicely equipment that @dominica, the car and I got onto the cover of Mazda's driver magazine with it 🙂 That car was amazing. Drove like a dream.

          Every Mazda of my own has been standard, Dominica's was automatic.

          My buddy in high school had an 80s model RX7. Did yours have the pull out choke?

                    This spring I spent driving an Opal Corsa. What a piece of junk.

                        I have 3 kids, need the room. One is on his way to college right about the time the lease is up on the Jeep, and I fully intend to downsize the wheelbase, upsize the horsepower and add a 3rd pedal

                          My oldest son drives the Ponitac variant of that car, excellent machine. I drove it for a couple years till he turned 16.

                          EDIT: Nevermind, the Vibe is a Matrix, not a Yaris....

                              GM would not rebrand a Yaris. They make much better cheap cars.

                                My first ever new car was a 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid.

                                Totaled it a week before Thanksgiving 2013. It had 140,000 miles or so on it.

                                Bought a used 2010 Honda Insight with ~80,000 miles I think. Up to 110,000 now.

                                  I usually a Carolla (manual B) ).
                                  I kind of wish I still had my Falcon/Fairmont still but that started having weird problems.

                                    I've got an 11 F150 Super Crew Ecoboost (love it). Wife has a 13 Explorer Limited (love it for different reasons). Don't know what is next for me, but i'll be getting something newer soon.

                                      This got me thinking that I have lost track of the vehicles I have totaled.

                                      I think this is the right order:
                                      1971 Pontiac Lemans - My first Car (totaled prior to getting my license)
                                      1970 Dodge Coronet 440 - My Second Car
                                      196X Dodge work truck
                                      1985 Dodge K Car - Pushed into a guardrail, superficial damage, but it fried the computer.
                                      1981 Ford Mustang - Upside down in a ditch
                                      1981 Ford Capri (owned 2 weeks) - Telephone pole dropped on it (while I was sleeping).
                                      199X Ford Ranger - Deer
                                      199X Ford E150 Van - Blown motor
                                      2005 Honda Civic

                                      I think I am missing one, but i cannot recall it at the moment..

                                          I had a 1991 Buick Regal go up in flames on the highway. Just caught fire and up it went.
