My comfy cruiser from when I was 17...and ended up on RS at the same time.

I'm up to car #14 as of yesterday, I'm only going to list my "good" cars and not my shitty winter beaters in between them lol

My first car, 1990 Integra GS. Learned to drive manual and revmatch/heel toe with it :D

#2, 1998 GS-R. This car I did the most modifying out of all my cars (engine swap to B18C5, full exhaust, coilovers etc.) and I still see it pop up on craigslist every couple years LOL
https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net...41&oe=56A1D600

#3 1998 ITR, I was hoping someone know what happened to this car? :( It had a CF trunk when I owned it.

#4 1997 supercharged E36 M3, I've owned this car the longest at 2.5 years. Wanted one of these ever since high school and I had a huge blast with it...except for whenever shit needed to be fixed :ohgodwhy:

#5 1990 Toyota Pickup SR5. Although a beater, I had a ton of fun with it :devil:
https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net...9f&oe=5695B70D

#5 2010 C63 AMG. Easily my most favorite car of mine :fullofwin:
https://scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net...57550863_o.jpg

#6 2007 S2000. All around awesome car, it was difficult to go back to having no torque when you're used to cars that have plenty of it lol. What made up for it was just how direct and responsive it felt :) Yes this was *illegal's car and it's sad to see it ended up in some shitty used car lot in New West :(

pardon the interruption
resume awesome thread

My old Crapalier.. Friends gave it some sick mods with stuff I had left in the car when they found it unlocked... it's a shame you can't see the racing stripes, they would put any tron wrap or cracklines to shame. :lol

It was the 2.2 with 3 speed auto, I think it had a 10+ seconds 0-60, when it was new.. :lawl:

Spoiler inspired by:

J.C thats not mine those are replica rims and I had a 2003 track model

Here are some of my all time favorites (Not including my first 2 pos hs cars and all the beaters I've owned between them)

07 Sonata. Long Before even Genesis's and all these new Turbo Sonatas populated the kdm market. Hipster i know. Sold it due to lack of fun factor and beige interior. It sure did confuse a lot of people by wondering wtf kind of car it was.

My first ever real sports car that I've been dreaming of owning since grade 8. It still is one of the best cars I've owned. I would love to get my hands on another one

http://i1186.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3563b2b1.jpg

Bought loong's e46 325i with fairly low k's (109k kms)
It was a halfsies purchase with my brother as i wanted a winter vehicle to drive around. In the end we were constantly fighting over the car. Decided it was best to sell it. Not really sure why we thought that was a good idea lol

Miata Checking in! Loved how well the car handled for it's age, but for me it was just lacking power

Started with this handsome 1999 Acura 1.6EL 5spd...was back in the heyday with folks like Hamsup, Kaostik, Levitron....all those users that have moved to something else.
The EL went through a few different mods....H&R springs to Eibach Prokit. All sorts of different rims as well...and of course, the mod of the time was clear corners and signals. Was definitely a solid car!

Dealership: Ensign Pacific Leasing
http://www.revscene.net/forums/membe...it-16-rims.jpg

Next stop...after 3 years, I set my sights on the newly announced RSX...and so I went ahead and leased a 02 premium 5spd. Absolutely loved the car...fun and sporty. Minor mods such as the eibach prokit but who can forget the whole DIY blackout headlights mod? I wrote up a DIY back in 2003 which is still posted on clubrsx as a sticky.

Dealership: Burrard Acura
http://www.revscene.net/forums/membe...tallic-rsx.jpg

Next stop...2004 rolled around and I got uber excited with the newly announced TSX...it was sharp, sophisticated and very polished. Landing a job with a corporate culture, I decided to trade in the RSX for a 04 TSX 6spd...met my future wife while owning this car and to this day, this black beauty is still her all-time favorite. With standard HIDs, I would never do halogens again.

2006 rolled around and again, I got excited with the newly announced CSX...it wasn't so much the car but the technology...this was the first car I experienced with navi and 'compact flash' mp3 playback. This was a ill-thought out move on my part but alas, I traded the TSX for a 06 CSX tech 5spd. Tried some minor mods such as 17" SI wheels but the car was just not exciting to me...

Dealership: Burrard Acura
http://www.revscene.net/forums/membe...x/2144-csx.jpg

Within a mere 6-8 months, I could not handle the economy feel of the CSX and decided to get rid of it and go back to the smoothness and luxury of another TSX. Went with a 2006 TSX 6spd in graphite pearl. Let me tell you, the 6spd TSX has got to be the smoothest shifting car I've ever driven.

By now, you can tell that Acura dealers were starting to love me....

2008 quickly came up and there was a little 'acura604' growing in my wife ...so I kinda figured that the TSX wouldn't do as a baby hauler. Went to Northshore Acura and traded the TSX for a 08 RDX tech.

Dealership: NorthShore Acura
http://www.revscene.net/forums/membe...l-metallic.jpg

The RDX was a great overall compact SUV but it also being my daily driver, the jarring rough suspension finally wore me out in less than 1 year...so, back to the dealership. This time, I didn't trade in the RDx...rather, arranged a lease takeover from someone off Craigslist. At Burrard Acura, doing the lease takeover paperwork, I arranged to snag yet another TSX...this time, an 08 but in auto. The TSX would not disappoint yet again with its smooth, comfy ride.

Dealership: Burrard Acura
http://www.revscene.net/forums/membe...rl-tsx-5at.jpg

The TSX was barely sufficient for transporting a baby in a rear facing seat. I kept thinking...how do I retain the smooth suspension and luxury but in a bigger sedan.... .... .... YES! The 08 Acura TL!
The TSX was sold...however, the 08 TLs were running pretty scarce as it was the last model year... I settled on a 08 base / non navi auto...

Dealership: Burrard Acura
http://www.revscene.net/forums/membe...de-profile.jpg

The TL was exactly what I was looking for...amazing comfort...amazing interior space for front and rear passengers...LED rears, HIDs, XM radio....BUT...the lack of navi was killing me...the TL non navi dash looked terrible IMO so.... ....not even 5 months had passed, I transferred the lease and took over a lease on a 08 TL with Navi...( on a car this size, the back up cam is invaluable )

Dealership: N/A - private lease takeover
http://www.revscene.net/forums/membe...-washed-up.jpg

Then along came a friend who offered to sell me his 07 carbon grey TL navi for dirt cheap...it was an offer I could not refuse and saw it as a opportunity to end leasing and start owning....so...the WDP TL was transferred away to my tenant ( the TL is his 'dream car' so it was a win win ). I went ahead and purchased my friends 07 TL which had 25000 lower KM than the white one.

Dealership N/A - purchased from private party
http://www.revscene.net/forums/membe...headlights.jpg

...now this is where it gets wierd...the TL above was a great car...but something swayed me back to a SUV and another ill-thought out move was made. Went to Carter Honda and traded the TL in for another 08 RDX. This time around I really wanted to like the RdX... I equipped it with all available OEM options from skirts to wheels to roof racks...

Dealership: Carter Honda
http://www.revscene.net/forums/membe...pring-2012.jpg

But yet again...the crap bumpy-ass suspension killed it for me. In less than 9 months, I trekked to Lougheed Acura and traded it in and went back to a 08 TL navi. Yet again, I felt the relief of having a smooth suspension with a quiet V6.

Dealership: Lougheed Acura
http://www.revscene.net/forums/membe...lean-clean.jpg

Being very content with this TL, I realized however...the finance rate I was paying was high ( utilized personal line of credit )...so I thought it over and realized that the 3G TL was probably my all-time favorite vehicle ...and with its design discontinuation and limited 'low mileage market availability'...I decided to find something quick before they were allllll gone and treat myself to the highest trim and go back to the sexiness of a 6speed MT...so off i went to Richmond Acura and traded in the 08 above and purchased the 08 TL-S at a much lower Acura finance rate....knowing that this will be my last 3G TL.

Dealership: Richmond Acura

You make me want a 3g tl-s. Srs.
