2011 Odyssey Touring
2006 RAV4 Base 4 banger 4wd... Got a wife and daughter. It's a family shuttle.
2005 Mazda3 Hatchback/wagon-Stick Traded in, was commuter, wife can drive stick but I would get car sick or break my clavicle.
2002 Nissan Maxima SE, 198k miles. had to get rid of it. Transmission and suspension last legs. Drove from Texas to Oklahoma back to NYC on several occasions. Best damn car I ever owned.
2001 Honda Civic EX Stick, Stolen
1989 Nissan 240sx- Stick first car I bought with my own money. underpowered, leaky sunroof and windows, useless backseat and trunk... but It was MINE!
1986 Chevy Celebrity Wagon. Bought $500 from fellow airman that was leaving the AF. Sold it for a $100 loss after I shredded one tire and scuffed up the rear quarter panel on after slipping on black ice.
1989 Honda Civic-First car from family. Pretty much learned how to drive with it.
1984 Nissan Sentra. Drivers Ed.
Other peoples cars. As the older Airman out of the group, who've drank at real bars and wanted to save$$, I often volunteered to be the Designated Driver. Here are some other people's cars.
03 TSX 6spd. very nice. was impressed for a 4 banger...but 6 speed felt kinda busy
01 VW jetta 1.8t and a TDI. nope.. I don't think I like diesels. thank you
95-99 Monte Carlo... wow.. really? Epic Chevy fail... maybe one day, I'll hunt down an SS
98 Ford Mustang v6. nothing to write home about.
98 Subaru Legacy LSi 5sp. She was my trainer, her car sucked.. except when it's icing over and no one else was willing to dirve.
92 Jeep Cheorokee. really cramped in the back, and steering was like a video game
97 kia sephia. it was a car, only slightly less boring than a Saturn first gen
03 Accord V6. Faster off the line than my Maxima. Don't know why Honda's cost more.
95 Ford Probe V6 5spd. Not bad, just not great either. I think better than the Mustangs of the same era (blasphemy!)
01 VW beetle 5 spd. Don't ask.
94 Lincoln Mk VII. ex-gf's fathers car.. very impressed by the V8 and smooth ride. I wouldn't mind one of the Back seats werent so awful adj suspension? didn't care.
96 Mitsubishi Galant. Piece of crap. handle well, otherwise unmemmorable
93 eclipse. I don't get all the rage. maybe if some one had a GST/GSX.
96 eclipse. ditto. looks good though
98 camry great gas mileage en route to Dallas.. but nothing special
96 Altima Great handling, could use more power
88 Porche 944 5 sp... why is the handbrake on the left side of the dirver's seat?? Also, didn't know Porche had 4 bangers.
2001 Altima. same car but slower with more power?
98 Maxima 5 spd. it inspired me to get a 02 maxima
88 Camro RS.. humming Knight rider theme the whole time (yes,I know KITT was a TransAm)
93 BMW 325. I get why people like bimmers. I just won't pay for one.
USAF duty vehicles as a Security force Augmentee
2001 Chevy Lumina USAF security forces patrol vehicle (augmentee to SF, yes they let me drive)
2003 Chevy Impala USAF security forces patrol vehicle. nope. not the same as civilian police packages.
Chevy "express van"; for all those fun times (base wide exercise exercise exercise)
97-04 Ford F150. USAF Flight line/motor pool vehicle of choice.
friends/family
1998 Accord coupe 4 banger.. meh
2001 Accord coupe v4 wait...import v6 that uses 87 octane?
2008 RX8 6spd. really fun but thirsty
95 Integra. Wow.. really good for it's age and Honda really had it together for the integra
88 Integra. my intro to stick shift
93 chevy Lumina. I liked it.. it felt like a mansion compared my 89 civic at the time
2006 Subaru Outback 2.5i. I like it. I wonder what the XTs are like
96 Rav4. my wife;s car. .they still drive pretty nicely
2001 Hyundai SantaFe. yeah.. maybe when I'm 72. steering isn't numb, it's anesthesized.
Rentals from jobs or consulting.
06 Hyundai Sonata. not back, but no CamCord fighter IMHO
2010 Mazda2. what a POS
2009 Nissan Versa. not bad for and econobox
