Per popular request, I added Toyota. Well, that and I needed to click on it.
92 Toyota Camry SE, 5-speed: Great car, traded it for the GS just before I hit 100K. Rare Japan import (not KY built)
87 Toyota Corolla FX-16: High winding, reliable -basically MR2 engine in boxy Corolla body
78 Pontiac Catalina Safari Wagon: Never broke down but had rear main seal leak that drank 2qts oil per week
73 Pontiac Firebird Formula Ram Air, built 65 GTO 389 engine with lots of goodies. Over 400 hp, but left me stranded one to many times.

Ok, I'll play:

'88 Ford Mustang - my first job out of college, my first new car
'90 Ford Thunderbird - my first adult car
'95 Dodge Intrepid - biggest POS ever
'96 Oldsmobile Aurora - (1st generation) very nice car that I should have kept longer than the 3 years that I owned it
'99 Lexus GS300 - my first, but not my last in a long line of fine Lexus automobiles

I still have it
1989 Thunderbird Supercoupe, 215k miles on it, the motor has never been apart, doesn't smoke, still runs as it did in 1991 when I bought it. I painted it black myself in 1997 when it was dented while parked in 2 seperate incidents, and the (originally ) silver metallic couldn't be matched very well by 2 high end body shops. I got fed up and decided to do it myself. 4 coats of clear, I wet sanded it down, it has no orange peel.
315 lb ft of torque @ a low 2600 rpm and posi , it's the perfect car to leave twin strips of rubber. And I do

1999 Toyota Previa (still have it) ... very relaible, and quite fast for a 2.4L 4-cyl in a nearly 2-ton body! It was a 5-spd manual as well hehehe... right now it's about to inherit the 18" Enkei G-Zero's off my Soarer when I find the right set of rims.
1993 Soarer 2.5GT (still have it)... very well built, very quick for a car it's size, keeps up with some of the big player names in the Japanese performance car world like 1994~2000 Impreza WRX, R33 Skyline GTS25t, Nissan Fairlady Z turbo etc.
