1987 Chevy Celebrity Eurosport wagon, black with brown trim. My family bought her in Belgium new, and I've basically grew up in the car. It's only 4 years younger than me. She now has 355000km and is going strong (needs a new muffler, it's gotten real loud now).

I put a stereo in her last year for ski trip purposes. Stereo's worth more than the car, money-wise at least. I'm pretty attached to it and will be sad when it is time to put it to rest.

Don't that just pi$$ you off? My black Camry has a nice
scratch/white-paint mark around the back bumper and rear quarter
panel because some cowardly wanker hit it in a parking lot and kept on going.
No note, nothing. Hoping that some buffing wax and elbow grease will
take it all out (no visible dent).

Don't you just hate that? My car was keyed last year also. I was just livid, and probably would have committed a felony if the kid had still been nearby. If seems that if you have a nice car, some never-do-well, asshat kids will get jealous and vandalize it...

Yeah lads, it really (insert proper swear word here) annoys me. I know who it is, well one of about 8 kids who hang around the building site on the other end of my development. I had a bit off a shouting match with them a month or so ago as they where playing with power tools at 3am. They obviously watched me go into my place and figured which car was mine. I have a vigilante army of friends who would pleasure in sorting out the youth of today with a polite clip around the ear (or fist to the face!).

Anyway i have a friend at work who will make it all shiny and nice again and i will buy him a drink or two.

Well, it's not even worth mentioning what I have right now, considering it'll be gone real soon. But I am keeping it in the Nissan family though.

I am looking into the Nissan Altima 3.5, maybe the Altima coup. I did look into the G35, the 350Z, BMW 330ci and the Mazdaspeed 6 (and I almost bought one), but somehow I can't just bring myself to spend that kind of money on a car.

Yeah, I absolutely love it. I was having a hard time deciding between it or the STi. I wanted a sunroof and bit more room, so went with the Spec B. Has tonnes of power, I do need an Accessport though to smooth out the power band.

The GT has the same engine, just different rear suspension and no NAV package. At least you get to choose the colour (although I do love the diamond grey metallic)

Its the 3rd Subaru I've owned. Had an '04 2.5RS and an '87 RX. Love the cars.

If you are looking for a car for every day use, the 350Z is probably not the best choice. It doesn't have much room to carry stuff in. But, as a fun vehicle that is not for every day use, it's a great vehicle - it has all the bells and whistle standard (heated leather seats, etc.).
