Nope. LOVED my 9C1. Had it through college. Bought in 1994, sold it in 1999 to a friend. Put 100k miles on it in that time.HARD miles.

On yours, I'll say the '01 Mitsu

In reply to mad_machine:

I'll say Fiat X1/9... because no way you'd have bought a second one!

In reply to Bobzilla:

Actually no....That was my first serious autox car. I ran that in FSP. Bolted on as many of the EVO parts as the rules would allow and did pretty good. Just never had quite enough to beat the local national's trophy lurker in his 76 Rocco.

• 64 Karmann Ghia

• 58 Karmann Ghia
• 65 Corvair
• 64 Corvair

hmmm... I guess I can't play...

BrokenYugo: I've driven a G55. The sheer ridiculousness of the G-Wagen wasn't enough to offset the fact that it didn't really feel much better than a JKU in normal driving (only quieter and more luxurious).

In reply to Brian:

It was only for 10 minutes, but I have driven an R8 V8. I wish I had a job at a German car dealer, most of my friends and their families love their German tin.

minivan_racer, I'm going to say that you haven't driven an 85 Camry, mainly because those would have probably been mostly oxidized iron in your area, even in 2001.

KyAllroad, you either didn't autocross an i8, or you have pictures the internet really needs to see.

Grtechguy, I'm going to say that you didn't drive the 97 Supra TT into your garage.

Bobzilla, I don't see you much as a Tempo person.

bmw88rider, is it the 78 Cherokee?

mad_machine, I'm going to very cautiously say the Excel, although if you put yourself through owning a Montecarlo, you could have probably put yourself through owning an Excel.

nope.. the Viggen was the only car on the list I didn't own. The excel was my first (of only 2) new cars I ever owned and I broke the front suspension on that car on the "Jersey jump" rally back in the mid-90s. Literally snapped the cross member in two so that both front wheels wanted to go in opposite directions.

My only car from the list i didn't own was the 68 dart. Every other one has cursed me at some point.

NA Miata

LS1 Crammit

That's driven, not owned. I haven't owned enough cars for that yet

In reply to G_Body_Man:

Nope.....loved my Cherokee. Big old beast with 33" tires. The only thing that stopped it was a gas station. Nice 401 with a good cam and headers. had it for 3 years till the rust monster claimed it.

So mine was the 97 Talon. Found an awesome AWD TSI for sale and wanted to pull the trigger on it. I really liked the car and living in the chicago area, AWD made perfect sense. The bank wouldn't finance me for that amount needed at a rate that made sense so I passed on the car.

Reading through this.....gees I've had a lot of cars. That isn't even half of the ones i've owned.

In reply to G_Body_Man:

The TC wasn't that terribly rare when I owned it. The last dealer in NC was Nowell's Sport Summit Motors in Wilson. It was a terrific car but a person would've needed to own 4-6 of them in order to have 1 that was drivable. Seems that something stupid broke on that car every few days.

The one I never autocrossed..........

Mustang GT. I've driven exactly one Mustang in my life (my aunts 2002ish convertible automatic) and it was a miserable pig. In my 4 years of autocrossing I've driven the rest of those (even the i8, though no pictures exist).

Apparently it pays to be old and mature, people offer up drives just to get your opinion of their cars.

Since everyone else is revealing their lies, it's time to reveal mine. I've never driven a 77 DeVille, nor any Cadillac with over 400 cubes.

Wrong. Actually driven two different 97 TTs

Alright, lies revealed... never owned a 2008 Elantra. Tempo was given to me at 16 when the car I had purchased the injector pump died 2 weeks before I got my license.

I never drove the '86 Firebird I had for over a year.

I owned & drove all on my list except for the Renault Fuego.
