2004 Honda Civic EX from my former 100mi/day commute. Since I now work from home, I can have a 20MPG car.
2002 Ford Escape XLT V6 (when I thought 200HP was enough)
2000 Mazda Protoge
1989 Mazda 323 Hatchback
There was also a procession of motorcycles. I currently have a 2000 Harley Electra Glide with sidecar.

1987 Porsche 928 S4. At the time, it was the fastest car you could buy on American soil. Top speed was 165. That car handled soooo well. I never drove a car that cornered as flat as this one, now OR then. Price in 1987 was an outrageous 85K. It was a front engined, rear drive speed demon. She had Only 310 hp being put out by a 5 litre all aluminum motor, with Two ( 2 ) distributers, but the gearing was such that it ran 13.5 right out of the box. She was just getting started, though. Of all the ones imported into the U.S. that year, ALL but 10 were auto trannies. I had one of the Rare 5 speeds. I still remember hitting 65 mph at the top of 1st gear, then 100 at the top of 2nd. 135 top of 3rd, and redlined @165 in 4th. 5th was overdrive. It ran right up to that speed too, I remember the 180mph speedo,I did not screw with the car at all, leaving her stock. Man, if they wanted to make 5th gear into something other than an overdrive gear, I firmly believe she'd run with the 200mph + Supercars of today, 24 years ago. It must have been in the gearing. Man, I wish I wasn't such a dumbass back then, I would be sitting on a goldmine!
