'91 Mazda Pickup (bought it as a beater companion to the S2000)
'00 Honda S2000
'99 Lexus RX300
'97 Integra Type R
'96 Integra GSR
'91 Honda CRX Si
'90 Saturn SL1
'83 Mazda 626
'82 Volkswagon Rabbit Diesel
'77 Volkswagon Dasher

Now, it was the Rabbit Diesel that got me into performance cars - after you've needed to downshift from "E" to "3" on a slight highway incline, you know you're ready for something with a bit more performance.

Here's what I've owned over the years in the sporty/performance car category:
1) '81 Mazda RX-7
2) '84 Colt Turbo
3) '84 Mitsu Starion turbo
4) '76 Cosworth Vega
5) '90 Eclipse Turbo
6) '74 Triumph TR6 (my first convertible)
7) '68 Mustang convertible (302)
8) '90 CRX
9) '92 Bonneville SSEi (had to throw that domestic 4 dr. in there)
10) '93 RX-7
11) '97 M3
12) '86 300ZX Turbo
and I was actually looking for a '93-'94 MR2 last fall, but somehow got distracted by that '01 yellow S2000 calling my name.....so I changed my direction and am very happy I did.
'01 S2000

Let the laughing begin....

1) '83 Chevy Chevette... had to make do with what I had (high school/ early college years)
Hedman header, custom 2" exhaust w/ Walker turbo muffler
Weber Carb, Koni shocks, HD springs... Terrible car, but I loved it. Little P.O.S would beat bone stock Early 80's Z28's....

2) '85 Subaru GL - Autocrossed for three years(still while in College) ... Won a couple of events, placed 3rd overall '89 H-Stock in Philly series...
Ran with Micky Thompson Competitor AutoX tires, Addco Front sway bar(W/ Urethene bushings) RJS 5 pt harness... Slow as a turtle, leaned like a sailboat around turns, but fun to toss around the cones.

3) '93 Honda Civic Si - Great Car. Autocrossed it a year (On Hoosier Auto-Xrs), Terrible brakes though, made Auto-X no fun at all.

4) '97 Honda delSol VTEC - First 2 seater. Fun car, never gave me a problem.

5) '01 S2k, plus sig cars. - Love it, first 'true' sports car.
