Well, since this thread has been resurrected, the last car that I owned was a Cadillac STS-4. Simply a great touring machine. The last sports car that I owned was a Sunbeam Tiger with a built 302 in it.

I traded a '52 Ford Customline "mild" kustom for the '94 C4 - which 1 1/2 years later I traded for my current '08 C6

2 years prior of my move to Florida, I had 2 motorcycles, Honda VFR800FI Interceptor, and Suzuki GS1100. 2 rust belt cars,1997 Jeep Wrangler Sport, and 1997 Buick Skylark. Finally, one of the best vehicles I've ever owned ,and still have now with only 130K miles and no rust! An 04 Chevy Silverado 2500HD 4X4 extended cab, long bed.
The thing that really broke my heart was giving up my last bike.

Hated it when I got rid of my last bike, ZX-1100 but with all the cell phone crazies I felt it was time.

You hit it on the head! Florida is to dangerous a place to ride street bikes! I won't even ride my bicycle here.

I purchased a 2013 Axcura TL with 8,000 miles in 2016. Took it in for it’s first oil change and wound up trading it for my 2011 Coupe.

I had this before the Grand Sport. 2SS Commemorative/Adrenaline package. CAI Intake, Corsa XTreme Cat back and a Jannetty Tune.





So glad we are in our new house with a little more elbow room.

Had a 2014 WRX. Full bolt ons, Blouch 2.5xtr turbo. Pretty much every suspension upgrade that could be done, and a few odds and ends. Made 400+awhp and decided to pop the motor twice while racing. Couldn't take the fear of blowing it again so shopped for my current vehicle.

That is a pretty GS. I like the black accents on it. Very nice! Happy with the change? That blue looks darker than Carlisle or Supersonic. Maybe the lighting and the dark accents. Very nice.
