I saw this thread and realized I've owned more cars than I thought, and figured I'd contribute. 1985 AMC/Renault Alliant: First car I ever owned, and only car I have ever hated. Ran it into the ground and sold it for scrap. Got it used in 1986 or 1987, and didn't know enough to know I was getting screwed. 1978 BMW 530i: After the Alliant, I wanted something fast and fun, and this car was that. 1979(?) Ford F150(?): This was a desperation vehicle that I only had for a while because I needed transportation, and it had what had essentially become a total-loss transmission fluid system. It went through transmission fluid like mad, and the steering was so loose I looked like a kid pretending to drive keeping the thing going straight. 1989 Ford Escort: Got it from the original owner with documentation for all service, and they approached it more like rehoming the car than selling it. Was solid and served me really well for a couple years. 2001 Hyundai Elantra: I bought this new to replace the Escort. Had a decent engine and 5-speed manual, and I was pretty fond of it. (It might have been a 2002, but I think it was probably 2001.) There was a pickup truck in here that I cannot recall the year it was made, or whether it was a Toyota or a Nissan. Just a basic and obviously forgettable small pickup I had around 2004/2005. *long period of shared cars or me not driving* 2023 Hyundai Elantra N-Line: Got this new this year, and it's easily the nicest car I've owned. More horsepower than the 530i at about the same size and weight, an incredible amount of bells-and-whistles tech that are actually useful, and a 6-speed automatic that actually feels like a standard in sport mode. Haven't tried out the manual shifting option, but now the weather is getting better I'll get around to it. My only minor gripe is that it's front wheel drive, but I guess corners had to be cut somewhere to hit the price-point. CaptainSarcastic fucked around with this message at 11:37 on May 28, 2023 |
