In the three years I've been driving, I've owned...
1. 1988 Mazda 121 (ok ok, its a Ford Festiva)
2. 1988 Mazda 323 GT 16v Turbo - Never was registered because the body was rotted. Used for parts, see next car...
3. 1990 Mazda 121 LX - B6T powered, runs 13s easy.
4. 1992 Subaru Justy GL - AWD, 3 cyl, POS, Sold it within months
5. 1989 Mazda 323 DX Sedan - Got rid of it because the engine fell out.
6. 1988 Mazda 323 GT 16v Turbo - Awesome car.
I like Mazdas and I like turbos. I still own the 1990 121/Festiva and the 323GT, and probably won't be getting rid of them any time soon... because they are good.

My first car was my 1991 Protege, then I went to an 1988 Beretta (2.OOOOHHHH MY GOD), then I added a 1987 Formula 350 Firebird to my collection, sold the Firebird bought my 1986 Z28 and the Beretta got towed, then I bought a 1990 Beretta GTZ with a quad four (now that's a four cyl 180+hp@6200 rpm NA) which I just sold. Now I'm down to My Z28 and the Protege and about to pickup another car as a daily driver. All that in 5 years of driving
