      Yeah, the engine is a bit much to maintain. But what a car to drive.

        I've had a Mazda continuously since 2001. They are great. My number one choice for Asian-made cars for sure. The only one that I would go out of my way to buy. I have a 1988 Mazda RX7 convertible that I took @dominica out on our first day the evening that I bought it. That car is old and garaged but was an incredible drive.

        I bought a yellow 2002 PR5 that @dominica liked so much she bought a matching blue one the next weekend!!

        Traded in the 2002 for a 2003 Mazda 6 that was so nicely equipment that @dominica, the car and I got onto the cover of Mazda's driver magazine with it 🙂 That car was amazing. Drove like a dream.

        Every Mazda of my own has been standard, Dominica's was automatic.

        My buddy in high school had an 80s model RX7. Did yours have the pull out choke?

                  This spring I spent driving an Opal Corsa. What a piece of junk.

                      I have 3 kids, need the room. One is on his way to college right about the time the lease is up on the Jeep, and I fully intend to downsize the wheelbase, upsize the horsepower and add a 3rd pedal

                        My oldest son drives the Ponitac variant of that car, excellent machine. I drove it for a couple years till he turned 16.

                        EDIT: Nevermind, the Vibe is a Matrix, not a Yaris....

                            GM would not rebrand a Yaris. They make much better cheap cars.

                              My first ever new car was a 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid.

                              Totaled it a week before Thanksgiving 2013. It had 140,000 miles or so on it.

                              Bought a used 2010 Honda Insight with ~80,000 miles I think. Up to 110,000 now.

                                I usually a Carolla (manual B) ).
                                I kind of wish I still had my Falcon/Fairmont still but that started having weird problems.

                                  I've got an 11 F150 Super Crew Ecoboost (love it). Wife has a 13 Explorer Limited (love it for different reasons). Don't know what is next for me, but i'll be getting something newer soon.

                                    This got me thinking that I have lost track of the vehicles I have totaled.

                                    I think this is the right order:
                                    1971 Pontiac Lemans - My first Car (totaled prior to getting my license)
                                    1970 Dodge Coronet 440 - My Second Car
                                    196X Dodge work truck
                                    1985 Dodge K Car - Pushed into a guardrail, superficial damage, but it fried the computer.
                                    1981 Ford Mustang - Upside down in a ditch
                                    1981 Ford Capri (owned 2 weeks) - Telephone pole dropped on it (while I was sleeping).
                                    199X Ford Ranger - Deer
                                    199X Ford E150 Van - Blown motor
                                    2005 Honda Civic

                                    I think I am missing one, but i cannot recall it at the moment..

                                        I had a 1991 Buick Regal go up in flames on the highway. Just caught fire and up it went.
