one of those boxy little scion xb's. the older one. that thing got good gas mileage and was reliable. very low maintenance. but after a few years the dorky funny square thing kinda wore off and the uncomfortability was all I noticed anymore. 4k rpm going 70mph wears on you. my 08 is250 is everything I hoped to find in a more quiet and comfortable car.

2003 Acura 3.2TL Type-S. Miss that car everyday, not because the drive, but because of the money I put into that system!

Lease was up, sold car to my fiance's parents for the residual value(dirt cheap), in stock form of course. Figured I'd get something with more ooomph and updated looks.

^ i don't know, i think these cars all look the same since 2006. such minor "updates" i wouldn't think updated looks mattered until a new bodystyle comes out.
