Man, I really don't think I want to reply to this thread. I never felt so poor in my life.....

1985 Nissan Pulsar NX
1991 Pontiac Bonneville
1997 Saturn SC2
2004 Chrysler Crossfire

and 2002 Suzuki SV650s

The Crossfire is the closest thing I have ever had to a new car, at 9 months old. Pulsar was 8 yrs old when I got it, Bonne was 6 yrs old, Saturn was 3, bike was 1.

No cool cars for me until now, all stock, figured it was about time to say screw it, and deal with the higher payments for a cool car.

 

Coming from a Saturn to a crossfire? Now thats one hell of an upgrade!

 

Don't have any pictures of it do you?Huge fan of that and the corrado.

Dan, w00t on your el caminos, what trim was the 85, and was the 67 BB powered?
My passion for el caminos is as strong as the wierd VW stuff. Though the El Caminos stay running, my 84 had almost 160k and never gave me a problem. Well except for the the entire car rusting out from under me.

 

i would have to scan a pic if i can locate one...i'll do some searching.

 

That is a fun car to drive, and was fast for what it was. Stayed a nose ahead of every Grand Am GT I went next to.

Now its my winter beater, unfortunately the tires I have on it, are more performance then snow traction.

 

Thanks!
Actually, if I'd met you when you had the Eclipse and were considering getting the kit, I would've talked you out of it! It was all custom hand layed fiberglass, and it was layed way too thin. Luckily all of the panels went over the stock body, so I never comprimised safety or anything, but when pieces starting falling off...well...let's just say it wasn't the prettiest of sites.
It got a lot of stress cracks from driving daily (did I mention I had 19's on her?), then the two front pieces (at different times) fell off. I literally sold the car in 3 pieces (the 2 in the trunk) and the car itself...and I still managed to make money off of it!
Poor guy - when I met up with him to give him the title the car looked awful as he had taken it on a road trip, my heart sank!
I've been pretty anti-body kit after that. Before it was sponsored and built that way, it was a blast to drive, it was originally red, with some nice side skirts, nice 18" Konig wheels (painted) white and white grills in the front, it actually was quite the looker. Ah...the good old days. I don't think I've ever forgiven myself for putting my Mitsu through that!

 

Oh man, i was an American built car driver once upon a time - never again though;

1983 Mini (Reg: XEF 50Y, 2nd hand - present from parents as the brakes on the '76 were dangerous, and they didn't want me crashing)
1984 Toyota Corolla Coupe GT (B251 LEF, paid £900 with 90k miles, ran it to 194k miles)
1986 Toyota Corolla Coupe GT (D424, paid £2,500 with 44k miles, ran it to 96k, written off in accident - hit from behind)
2000 - Chrysler Voyager (W312 PPD, still own 66k miles)
2000 - PT Cruiser Limited (X508 BPA, traded in for 2004 PT)

Gee, I didn't realize this was going to be a score card thread for that "he who has the most toys, wins" contest. LOL!!
So far Dan has the most posts, AND the most toys!

 

01 v6 mustang (auto) my first car bought it used last year, kind of miss it, but when i look at my crossfire, i'm glad i traded it in.

 

Very few cars I have had were just toys, they all had some daily use. Until I got tired of them. I'm not Jay Leno so I can only afford a couple at a time.

 

Sure looks like a " he who dies with the most toys wins " contest! Let me say the Crossfire beats all my previous cars!

84 Porsche 944
91 Toyota Supra
92 Lexus SC 400
98 Corvette
98 BMW M Roadster
04 Crossfire !!!

 

Tell me how the crossfire beats a 98 m roadster and 98 corvette? The rest i can understand.

 

Hey Bullseye,

I'm still trying to figure out your picture. Exactly how many body parts are there?

As far as the Bimmer and the Vette go, I guess I'm addressing the whole car as a package. I NEVER had half the comments on either car as I do on the Crossfire. The Vette and The BMW were faster, but for me thats not everything. Lets face it, the ultimate is when someone comments on your car.

The M roadster got tighter ( interior wise ) the more I drove it. At 5'10" and 175lbs, I'm a pretty average sized guy. I probably had 6 or 7 visits to the service department in the first year. The plastic back window looked like **** ( scratched ) after one year. And after spending 45K, I sold it for 32K after 2 years ( so much for Bimmers retaining their value! )

The Vette was way fast with a horse buggy ride! It was over done with computer high tech toys which grenaded after one week. At 52K it was weird to have a manual convertible top! I actually only owned it for two weeks and made the dealer take it back.

To each his own, but for me the Crossfire has been a perfect fit. It still snaps heads after almost two years!

 

Thats is a full body shot, then a portrait of her face resting on her arms.

I loved my 99 Vette, hands down over the crossfire. And I thought the ride was better on my vette. M roadster is a nice car though. Don't know where I was really going with that.

 

I forgot 1, at least, 55 PORSCHE SPEEDSTER REP. fun to drive got all kinds of ?s.

 

88 Volvo Wagon.
