Otherwise, it was a fantastic car. I would still be driving it today if things hadn't worked out the way they did.

Ended up selling out of the lease early, because my wife and I started carpooling in her car, which she still has today (2002 Nissan Sentra GXE) and the MS6 was sitting in the driveway getting driven only on weekends.

I hated paying the insurance and lease payments for how little I was driving it and got the cheapest thing I could at the time (the Jeep Grand Cherokee).
always been interesting in MS6's since they are awd, turbo, manual and not subarus or audis..lol

I know MS3's were pretty quirky too

I was happy up until a piston got loose and was hitting the head and not compressing air. Stealership said they didnt know what was wrong after I had told them, they didnt want to do anything and waited until my warranty ran out. So I sold the vehicle to a mechanic who took it apart in his own time and fixed the problem for almost no cost to himself besides his labor. It was a quick L6, I had the K&N 77 series intake and custom Magnaflow exhaust, the sound was amazing it almost sounded like the 99-04 mustang gt.

I had a KN 77 series intake on mine as well as a PCM4Less 91 Oct Tune. It was a pretty fun SUV and could get up and go pretty well.

Sorry you had a motor issue though. That doesn't sound normal. Did you frequent trailvoy.com??

Hmmm, there are certain parts of the 70's I don't recall, like 1971, 1972. Anyway, kidding apart -First car - 1965 Impala fastback, red, black interior. Looked great, bad reliability. Thank God parts in the 70's were like $19 - $29 for alternator, power steering pump, etc. Took a 1/2" and 3/4" sockets to take apart the whole dam-n car.

These are not neccessarily in the correct time order -

1969 Roadrunner 4 spd - fastest car I've owned - only 98MPH top end, but it got there really (reeely) fast.

1965 Mustang 2+2 fastback -

1966 VW Beetle - great winter car : )

1974 - Nissan 240Z - I start to "get" the Z enthusiasam.

1972 Ford pinto station wagon - potential for a 351CI, but never did it.

1977 Toronado - Great Car!

1984 - Nissan 300ZX - one of my funnest, most reliable cars.

1949 88 - Olds Rocket V8 - It was like new, but I could not use it.

1989 Jeep Cherokee pickup - 4X4 - 4.0 L - great truck.

1997 Olds Aurora - the best interior, cool looking, but the worst reliability.

1997 Ford F-150 ext cab, 4wd- 5.4, 3.55 gears - still have it with 67K miles - love it.

2004 - G35X -Now turned 12K miles - love driving it, but I think the inside is boring.

My car obsession started when I bought this for $900. Went out and bought some 14" wheel covers. I've had many cars since then. The CRX was a fun little thrash about car.

In 2001 my last year in high school my parents bought me a 2000 dodge neon I added 18s on that kept it to 2004 when i traded it in for a 2004 nissan sentra. That was to slow so I wanted a v6 so in 2007 I got me a 06 hyundai sonata v6 with 20s added k&n intake. On july 8 2010 my life changed for ever when I traded my sonata in for a 06 infiniti g35x
