Most recently a 1992 cherokee. But my favorite previous car was my 1985 toyota cressida, what a car. The thing was from '85 and had power seats, heated mirrors, would break loose shifting into second on wet pavement, and even sang happy birthday to you! (literally).. Love my G but i really miss the cressy
we called it the boat.man that thing was NUTS!!!
pretty cool for a car wtih all those features..specially the part when IT BROKE DOWN alot! lol...
she always got shafted with all the handme downs cars...her pops never thought about getting a newer ride for her. with all the money they burned..
thats funny..
Check out my old cardomain page, might give your buddy some ideas, plus, she's a fun car to look at. So sad she's dead in some scrap yard right now...

This thread is awesome! It's neat seeing what everyone migrated from.
It's always been my favorite thread topic and didn't see one here so I figured it'd be a good addition
I do miss my Mach 1......
I had a small, stuffed Garfield that used to sit on top of a set of tri-gauges on my dash. He now rides on the dash of my daughter's 00 Max SE.
I gave him to her when she went off to college in the mountains of NC.

I almost purhcased an '04 Mach 1 back in the day but I decided to save money and just get an older GT. Paid off in the end so I was able to afford my G35x!
Now that my daughter is in the mountains where it snows a bunch, I REALLY wish I had got an X sedan! I keep looking at them......we'll see.
1. 1990 Intergra, riced it out. What can i say, i was young.

2. 1992 BMW 735il .. I originally wanted a 535 but found this beauty


3. 89 Ford mustang, little project while while i had the 735il, didn't last long and project was never finished.
Current - 2000 Autdi TT and the G35
My fav car is still the 735il, drove so nice, lots of room... Perfect cruiser only problem was it was getting old and breaking down.
