1980 Mustang 2-dr (Orange "Orange Tang") - Parents gave it to me - cheapest new car on Ford lot. 5-speed 2.3 liter. 90hp. Snow tires for Boston and Michigan winters. A real sweet period in Mustang manufacturing. LOL : )

Yeah, a sweet period alright! [img]/w3timages/icons/laugh.gif[/img][img]/w3timages/icons/laugh.gif[/img][img]/w3timages/icons/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: How would the G35 rate with your old cars?

I have listed mine in order of importance, best to worst. The order of ownership roughly corresponds to the vehicle's year. The 1990 Olds was the worst car I owned, it spent more time in the shop than on the road. The first three were also the most reliable. Only Canadians (older ones that is) will remember the Acadian and Frontenac. The car that was the rarest was the 1960 DKW (in hindsight the one I should have kept) as far as I know it was only one of two or three in Canada at the time. The G35 is the closest car to bringing back the emotions I had from the Camaro.

2003.5 G35 Sedan AT
2000 I30 AT
1997 Maxima AT
1970.5 Camaro MT (with a 68 425 HP 327 small block from a wrecked Corvette)
1960 DKW Sport MT (looked like a scaled down 57 T-Bird)
1985 Mazda 626 AT
1980 Datsun 510 MT
1968 Acadian MT
1960 Frontenac MT
1972 Ford E300 Van AT
1978 Westphalia AT
1975 Buick Skyhawk AT
1990 Cutlass Supreme AT
