    Purchased it in 1990...originally from Texas and I bought it from a kid who was finishing grad school at U-M for $6K. 18 years later its still worth about the same as I paid 8)

    No performance mods. :( Has a 3.4 V6, enough get up and go for me. It's my daily driver and I commute 40 min one way. This was my wife's car which we sold to her son. He never made payments to us the got in a driver side front side collision. Sat in the bodyshop yard for a year then I had them fix the mechanicals ( front hub assembly and all linkages) then I brought it home and did the body work. The plan was to just fix it stock...then I started finding cool stuff on Ebay!! LOL Buying the paint and body kit and wheels didn't leave enough left for performance mods. That's ok by me though. I get where I'm goin' as fast as I need and can do it in style 8)
    :D

    1998 ttop camaro. v6, been getting about 19-20 in town, actually does way better, 31mpg-ish, on the highway.

    I had a 3000gt for a brief time. it was fun, i loved it. but when it broke i couldnt get parts. not trying to talk you out of it by any means, but definately something to look into. I imagine the stealths are easier to get parts for. I vote for the trans-am. long live (and welcome back!) f-bodies!

    My baby: 2007 GMC Sierra 5.3L Crew Cab, avg 16 mpg around town, 21 mpg or so highway, not too bad for 305 horses. Being able to tow 7600 lbs has come in handy several times. I hope to buy a camper soon. Only mistake I made was not getting 4wd.

    My daily driver: 2002 Buick Rendezvous 3.4L V6 AWD, averages about 22 mpg overall. Bought from my sister for $2500, after dealer offered her crap for trade in. I just took it over 100,000, and use it for commuting and long highway trips. When I bought it, it was well behind on pretty much all maintenance, and came close to overheating due to a low coolant problem. After flushing it about 8 times with water, I switched from dex-cool to regular anti-freeze, and it's been great since.

    As you can tell, Im a fan of GM cars.

    I've got my '91 Toyota Previa which I totally love. I'll rebuild the engine if it ever dies. 311,000 and counting. It mostly is just for road trips and hauling these days as I have an '06 Scion XB as a daily driver. Holds a lot of stuff and gets 36mpg!

    When not on the bike I'm driving my S10... another project vehicle.
    When that's getting worked on I drive my dad's avalanche, haha.

    Although I've been known to drive both my vehicles at once. 8)

    Daily driver-96 Corsica picked it up for 600 bucks about 4 years ago and haven't done a thing to it besides put a new radiator on it. Gets close to 27 in town and 29 on the highway.

    My Baby-72 Firebird Formula 400 Stock all except I got rid of the points system converted it to electric. Other than that only changed a starter on it. Runs like a beast but since gas is as expensive as it is now I only get it out to play on special occassions. 10 in town 16 highway unless I'm playing then 6 in town 10 highway. :D It's fun.

    hehehehe, this was fun.
    Daily driver, when it rains.
    I drive an '83 Buick LeSabre.
    I get 14mpg, not bad for an 25 years old V8 car.
    I got '77 Trans Am, honeycomb wheels on it, with 235/75's, so it sits up nice and high.

    I've got a loaded '99 sable LS, with the DOHC 24valve motor, sitting in the garage.
    I'm repainting it, I've never owned a Ford so when she goes on the road this should be interesting.

    Historically I've leaned more towards German cars; these days, though, both my vehicles are Japanese: 2002 4Runner SR5 and the SECA.
