R56 What Did You Drive Before Your R56?
Inorder from most recent to longest ago. 01 Miata se(BRG), 2003 Mazdaspeed protege(Blue), 2003 mazdaspeed protege(silver), Ford Focus zx3, 2 88 Fieros, 87 Firebird, 01 ford ranger, 89 mustang 4 banger.
2003 Honda CR-V: It was a great car, economic for an SUV, but I rarely utilized it for what it was. Plus, it had 90k miles on it when I traded it. The timing was right, and I'm glad. I LOVE MY R56!!!

2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. Great car, but I want to get back into autocrossing and Mitsubishi kinda frowns on that (voids warranties). Before that it was an 02 Porsche 996 C2, but when the 2nd child came along that had to go.
2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer SS - not gone just being driven mostly by the wife. I'm switching between the MCS and a 1997 Mercedes C280 (with less than 40K miles) depending on if I want a fun, quick ride or want to float down the road. We did sell the wife's 2000 Chevrolet Tahoe within a week of purchasing the MCS.
I'm keeping my 1988 RX-7 and the 2000 MX-5, but I have not decided yet whether to sell the 1997 Escort or to keep it around as a work car. I just got a new job and it looks like I'll be doing a lot of driving. That's what I want the Cooper S for, but then again, I don't wanna spoil it too quickly.... But I'll prolly lose the Escort. So many ppl I know wanna steal it from me for some reason (literally! No one is satisfied with my already 'friend', 70% bluebook pricing....)
My 1998 Subaru outback w/ 124000 mileage was creating more problems than I wanted in May. I finally got 07 MC.
My two dogs are not really happy about the change since they cannot stick their heads out of the windows.

I inherited a beautiful 1991 Mercedes Benz 560SEL from my grandfather about 5 yeas ago. White with grey panels / grey interior. I babied that thing---body and interior in amazing condition, new transmission, rebuilt upper engine, new almost everything, and those beautiful rims ---the shiny chrome with gold MBZ emblem in the middle. Unfortunately (and my mechanic and my husband disagree about how it happened), either the headgasket blew and wrecked the engine or the radiator went bad and caused the headgasket to blow, wrecking the engine. Either way, my poor car is dead. That's the bad news.
Good news is that I decided to go all the way to the other extreme (from sedate and HUGE to totally fun and TINY and convertible!!) with my little mini.
So, now I have this really beautiful 560SEL that needs someone to love it as much as I did...so if anyone is interested, drop me a line.
In the meantime, I'm motoring like crazy!

Well i had an incredibly boring slushbox 1997 toyota camry that is the equivalent of driving a bar of soap on a wet floor. Now I've got a car that feels like its driving on rails. Pretty sure I drove that car harder than 90% of camry drivers. It was kinda fun for about two seconds...then just no...
. It had character, albeit a really boring one.
