I found this thread in NICO gen chat. Let's see what our G drivers had before they found Infiniti.

BTW, most of these images are not my cars...

My first car when I was 16...1985 Horizon $500



Totaled it...bought a 1988 cutlass supreme with 196k miles for $1700



Traded that for my 1976 Camaro....paid $2500



Traded that for a 1994 Buick Skylark...needed a winter car. I think that was $7k



Next, traded that for a 1992 Mitsu 3000GT VR4!!!Paid $14k



sold that outright...for a 1997 Pontiac Firebird Formula...new! paid $19k



Bought this while in Italy: 1985 Fiat Ritmo...$800



Sold that before we left...bought this for the wife: 2002 Mitsu lancer ES: $17k new



Had this for a while...2002 Honda Interceptorpaid $6k



Sold the Firebird, for my current ride... 2005 Infiniti G35 coupe:



Sold the lancer for this: 2008 Mitsu Outlander XLS. Paid $23k new

I'm not going to count any cars that I bought for my wife, it would just take too long. Some of these are not the actual car, but they are are the correct car with the correct color:

First car was a 1979 Chrysler LeBaron - it looked no where near as good as the one in the picture.



Traded that in on a Black and Gold 1982 Trans Am with T-Tops.



Wrecked that one Bought a 1981 Pontiac Phoenix (even bigger )



Finally sold that and purchased a 1979 Black and Gold Pontiac Trans Am with the Oldsmobile 403 in it, Doe skin leather interior, T-Tops, and Bandit graphics. I miss this car, should have kept it



Traded that one in on a Blue 1986 Pontiac Trans Am



Was still young, changed jobs, and had to sell that one. Bought a 1979 Chevrolet Camaro Z28



Sold that one and bought a black 1990 Pontiac Formula 350



Traded that one in on a new red 1995 Mustang



Traded that one in on a new 1997 Toyota Camry



Quit my halfway decent paying job to go to school for networking - which did work out really well in the long run. Sold pretty much everything we had and I bought THIS 1997 Geo Metro. Called it Frogger



Traded that in on a new 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe



And finally traded that in on my new 2007 G35X

Good lord... how old are you people?

here are my previous rides (I can't find any pictures so most of them are from google)

My first slice of freedom:



Here we go! You have no idea how many chicks wanted a ride in this win-mobile:



Unfortunately, the win-mobile was getting behind with the times and we had to go our separate ways... I opted for something a bit more stylish and sportier:



I had to get rid of the previous ride because the cops just loved to get me with those speeding tickets so I went to something a bit more practical:



I got this to satisfy the outdoorsy period in my life:



Then I figured it was time to grow up and get a real man's ride!

My friends figured since I had 4 doors; my car was a taxi...

And, here is my current ride:

yeah, my 3-year old has had more rides than me. in fact, he's got his own fleet: two umbrella strollers (the Geo Metro of strollers), one graco stroller (the toyota camry of strollers), one jeep jogging stroller (clearly the SUV of strollers), one radio flyer wagon (with cup holders), and a tricylce.

I learned to drive in this particular Jeep



I had a 1992 Cadillac Seville with the North Star V8 as my first car (It was really nice) Paid $2200 for it.



It was totaled

Then I bought my 2001 Lexus Is300 (Best car I ever owned) bought for 12k with 70k miles and sold with 127k for 10k



Then I bought the G



Then about a year after having the G i wanted another Jeep. I paid 1300 for it. Then I lifted it an added the bigger tires... and did all sorts of stuff to it. Soon It will be getting a paint job and a complete restore on the motor... Not that it needs one... I want more power. I will be putting the 427 7.0 litre Corvette Zo6 V8 in it with a 6 speed auto gear box and a new transfercase. It will also be getting totally new Axles with 4 wheel disk brakes, and a new suspension lift. Can't wait...

Here is the 1989 Jeep Cherokee

You asked for it... I have had a few cars... These are all from Google image but they are all the right year, make, and color.

My first... 1987 Honda Elite 50 I had this little thing waiting the day I got my permit... Sold it once I got my wings...

[IMG][/IMG]

This would be my first car... 1983 Corolla. Had it 2 months before I tried taking a corner too fast. Hit a curb and rolled it... That was fun. Towed it to the Junk Yard.

[IMG][/IMG]

#2 was a good ol 1986 Reliant K Car... Crashed this one into a snow bank and broke the frame in half. Towed it to the Junk Yard.

[IMG][/IMG]

#3 1988 Subaru XT was fun... I rear-ended another car doing 110 on the highway... long story... no injuries. Towed it to the Junk Yard.

#4 Was another 1988 Subaru XT..good little car but I started getting interested in speed so I traded it in.[IMG][/IMG]

#5 Was my Favorite until I bought the G 1988 IROC Z 28 5.7L with T-Tops... I was 17 and still in High School. Lost my job and had to sell it before it got repo'd....

[IMG][/IMG]

#6 was a 1983 Buick Grand Regal... It was a beast and could get the front end to lift if I did a transmission drop.... Blew the motor... Towed it to the junk jard.[IMG][/IMG]

#7 1973 Ford Thunderbird... The Big Green Machine... Was a POS and a money trap from the day I got it... Gave up and you guessed it.. Towed it to the Junkyard.... Looking back I should have just bought a tow truck.

[IMG][/IMG]

#8 1987 Chevy Spectrum... Junk yard...

[IMG][/IMG]

#9 1988 Mazda 323... Junk Yard... I just beat them to death...

[IMG][/IMG]

#10 1986 Ford Mustang 4cyl. Same thing just drove it till it died...

[IMG][/IMG]

#11 1989 Mazda RX7... I Actualy sold this one.... The day before it sold it was broken into and my stereo was stolen out of it....

#12 1988 Acura Integra.. Traded in for # 13

[IMG][/IMG]

# 13 1994 Ford Explorer... Traded in for # 14[IMG][/IMG]

#14 1996 Ford Explorer... Rolled it on the highway... Had it fixed cheap and kept most of the insurance money. Rolled it again and the Inurance company figured out that it was cheaped out on the first rollover and I got porked...[IMG][/IMG]

# 15, 16, and 17 were all at the same time... 1988 Mercury Grand Marquis(x2) and Ford Crown Vic. just cannabalized them until I could make one go.... Sent the shells to the Junkyard... All the same color so all the same plates and registration...lol.[IMG][/IMG]

#18 1996 Ford Crown Vic... Traded in for #19.

[IMG][/IMG]

#19 2002 Volvo S60 AWD.. Traded in for My G.

[IMG][/IMG]

#20 Infiniti G37X Lakeshore Slate W Nav/Tech... I will be posting some of my own pics soon.



My Next Vehicle is going to be..... 1978 Chevy K10 if I can find one.... Need to take the trash to the dump....

[IMG][/IMG]

And I hope # 22 is..... [IMG][/IMG]

Wow... That was a trip down memory lane.... Sorry it was so long...
