I even went ahead and started a website about them. www.club-s12.org. Fantastic cars. Swapped over to the Max once the S12 started becoming more a burden than a fun daily driver.

Most recently I drove an '89 Taurus SHO 
Nearly the same color as my Max, with most of the same option sets - nice stereo, cloth/power seats, sunroof, 5 speed.
I feel almost like the Max is the spiritual successor to my good old SHO

A well optioned 2004 Bonneville SE
I had racked up 89k miles in 3 years and it was time to trade.
It was a reliable commuter and gave me zero problems but it really doesn't compare to my just purchased 2008 Max SE.
I also have mint '96 Lexus SC400 with 86k original miles but she's a garage queen and perhaps it's time to sell her after buying the Max to clear up some garage space. It was my performance machine but after buying a 2009 Kawasaki Concours C1400 last spring that's all the performance I can use right now.

First, 1992 Toyota Previa
Second 91 Nissan Sentra
The sentra was really Fun, The previa was a head turner because no one knew what it was, Had 2 sun roofs, one was huge, it was rear wheel drive. fun as hell also.

Used to have a 97 Jetta GLX - GIAC chip, intake, exhaust, and 60/60 cup kit. Looking back, I did a pretty gross job on the car lol I loved what this car sounded like though!
Ditched that because the chains were about to go on the motor and I got a 94 Jetta GL (power NOTHING, complete sleeper though) but it had a 1.8T swap in it with the rare Reflex Tuning conversion kit. Car had about 250whp, was light as ****, and MOVED really good. Ran 16lbs daily, but this thing was a maintenance nightmare! That's why I got the Maxima.
That car was such a sleeper, kinda wish I still had it as a project car.

Nissan Frontier '98. Yep, big change.
Sold it. I've never totalled anything. I drive safely and boring. I use the money I save with low insurance rates to pay off my mortgage. Again, boring. But I do own and enjoy my Maxima.
