My first car was a '87 Nissan 200SX SE, I miss that car. It was RWD and a V6...only 160hp but still fun. It had 230K+ when I got rid of it. Next, was an '88 Regal had 2.8L and was FWD...crashed and replaced with a '94 Golf 4dr which was a pretty fun car but blew up on me. After that I had a 00 Cavalier. carbon fiber hood, eibach sportlines, I/H/E. Slow as *****. Oh yeah, cant forget the 2 12" in the trunk. lol. I'm sure I have a pic somewhere, just too lazy right now.

I drove a 1999 Taurus SE. I also had a 1992 Mustang GT that I sold to use as a downpayment for the Maxima. The Mustang was a summer toy, and I just got tired of it.

93 Bronco (Still have it) This is a pic from about the same time as when I bought the Max as a DD.



For about a year this was my DD, 89 RX-7 N/A. Fun car to say the least, until I had a housing fail (Thin wall water jacket failure).





And here's what I traded in on the Bronco 11 years ago, 88 Cougar XR-7

Before the Maxima...
There was a 99 Jeep Grand Cherokee (huge pile-o-dung, traded in on above)
Before that a 98 Toyota 4Runner (great truck - wrecked - money used to get above)
Before that was 2007 Nissan Versa S Sedan (great little car - gave back to bank, payments were killing me)
... I could go on and on and on (as I've owned 23 cars in as many years)

1987 Nissan Stanza, before that a 1975 Datsun 210 (2 months). When was overseas in the military had some model Nissan van, they have different names for them in Japan, I think it was a Nissan Vanette. So basically 3 Nissans in a row. Umm, make that 4 with the max.
