Personal Car History

[snork]

As the title states, I was just wondering what everyone else here has driven in the past and what got them to their current B9s?

1. 86 Subaru GL-10 wagon: was my mom's car, which I got after turning 16 in 1995;) since she got a new car. It was a sweet ride, except the AC compressor broke right before I got it:( Would been $800 to fix, obviously that didn't happen, LOL.

2. 98 Honda Civic DX coupe: had while in college, great car, would probably still have it (or at least drove into the ground) if it only had power windows and remote door locks.

3. 03 Accord EX-L V6 coupe: first car I bought myself new when I graduated from college, still my daily driver with 155k miles. I love a car that makes 240 HP and still gets 30+ mpg on the highway:tup:

4. 07 Subaru B9 Tribeca: got this one used with 8440 miles, moved to north hills of NJ and it apparently snows a lot here so the Accord doesn't cut it in that respect, will also probably be adding a kid or 2 to the family while we have it as well;)

Wife's cars (atleast for as long as I've known her): 90s Olds Eighty-Eight...was her grandpa's and still smelt of his cigars (in a good way, LOL). 2000 Olds Alero: 1st car she bought herself, what a POS that was. 06 Subaru Legacy 2.5i SE: her current daily driver, wasn't even really thinking Subie when we started car shopping, the Jeep dealer (we were looking at Liberty's) also had a Subaru franchise (Loman in Parsippany) and she loved it. Now she's a Subaru nut, she actually just purchased 2 bumper stickers that say "My other car is also a Subaru" and a "I <3 my Suby" one too:wave:

2008 Tribeca - bought new

I try to keep my cars until they die, or until life changes and we need a different vehicle.

1984 Audi 4000S. What a great car, though I learned all my auto mechanical skills on this car. 1st gear goes all the way up to what, 10 mph, redlining? I'd love to see this car again.

1992 Nissan Sentra - wife's car

1992 Oldsmobile Achieva (replaced Audi)

1999 Civic EX Coupe (replaced Sentra, that got totaled)

2002 Subaru Outback VDC Wagon (replaced Achieva)

2004 Infiniti G35S Sedan (replaced Civic, needed 4 doors)

2007 Tribeca 5 Pass Ltd SE (replaced Outback, needed more width)

Well my father bought me my first car.
*New 1993 Chevy Cavalier VL - I got it as my High School Grad gift. Pretty much bare bones Coupe w/ A/C. No power anything. I drove that car more or less into the ground. After the 6th year, major issues started and I traded it in w/ 110k on it for.....

*Used 1996 Honda Civic EX coupe - I picked this car up quick. The Chevy was falling apart and I needed a car. Still was a great purchase. I recently sold it b/c I wanted to drive something newer. Also b/c my girlfriend wanted to buy an SUV and she needed a buyer for her car. Hence the purchase of...

*Used 2004 Civic EX Coupe - Great car and my girlfriend gave me a good deal. So she took my money and bought the B9. It's almost my B9 as I drive it 90% of the time ;)

*Sold the 04 Civic and picked up a new 08 Impreza Outback Sport hatch in April. Love it and now I can't wait for the snow.

[crazycanuck]

Second car - 1993 ford escort hatchback... remember when that aqua teal color was popular - leased

Fourth car - 1997 Subaru Outback Limited - still going strong... 230 kilometers on the clock

Fifth car - our weekend fun - 1967 Ford Mustang 2 door coupe... 289, 3 speed auto.

Sixth car - 1997 VW Jetta - great driving car, too bad the germans decided to build it in mexico, traded in for a...

Seventh car - 2001 pontiac montana extended - needed the space for two kids and trips to Florida... and trips to home depot, traded it in for a...

Eight car - 2006 Subaru Tribeca...

As the title states, I was just wondering what everyone else here has driven in the past and what got them to their current B9s?

1. 86 Subaru GL-10 wagon: was my mom's car, which I got after turning 16 in 1995;) since she got a new car. It was a sweet ride, except the AC compressor broke right before I got it:( Would been $800 to fix, obviously that didn't happen, LOL.

2. 98 Honda Civic DX coupe: had while in college, great car, would probably still have it (or at least drove into the ground) if it only had power windows and remote door locks.

3. 03 Accord EX-L V6 coupe: first car I bought myself new when I graduated from college, still my daily driver with 155k miles. I love a car that makes 240 HP and still gets 30+ mpg on the highway:tup:

4. 07 Subaru B9 Tribeca: got this one used with 8440 miles, moved to north hills of NJ and it apparently snows a lot here so the Accord doesn't cut it in that respect, will also probably be adding a kid or 2 to the family while we have it as well;)

Wife's cars (atleast for as long as I've known her): 90s Olds Eighty-Eight...was her grandpa's and still smelt of his cigars (in a good way, LOL). 2000 Olds Alero: 1st car she bought herself, what a POS that was. 06 Subaru Legacy 2.5i SE: her current daily driver, wasn't even really thinking Subie when we started car shopping, the Jeep dealer (we were looking at Liberty's) also had a Subaru franchise (Loman in Parsippany) and she loved it. Now she's a Subaru nut, she actually just purchased 2 bumper stickers that say "My other car is also a Subaru" and a "I <3 my Suby" one too:wave:
