What did you drive before your 10th Gen Civic?

2013 Nissan Juke Nismo - Honestly one of the most fun cars I've ever owned. The AWD-V setting gave me plenty of tailspins in the rain.

DANGER. You have been warned. Overnight shift, no sleep, brain melted. Turn back now.

In no particular order at all, memory hazy on some model years, started driving in 1987. Likely forgetting one or two. Five or six of the below were the wife's:

1981 Peugeot 504 diesel wagon. 1974 VW 412 4 door. 1984 Jetta GLI. 1983 Jetta Turbodiesel. 1996 Volvo 850 Turbo wagon. 1983 VW Pickup. 1985 Audi 4000 quattro. A couple of VW Vanagons from the mid 80's. 1974 Toyota Celica GT. 1987 Subaru Justy. 1974 Audi 100LS sedan. A whole bunch of other VW Jettas and Golfs from the early 80's to present day, gas and diesel, all "MK" generations. 1987 VW Quantum syncro (awd) wagon. 1990 Subaru Loyale wagon. 2002 Subaru Outback Sport, auto. 1981 VW Scirocco S. 1969 VW Squareback. 1981 Honda Civic hatch. 2003 Mini Cooper. 2009 Mazda5 auto. 1996 Toyota Rav4 2-door (yes, 2 door) 4x4 5-spd. 1995 Mercedes Benz E320 wagon. Mercedes 190E 2.6 of 90's some year can't remember. 1993 Chevy Silverado, man. 1995 Chevy Silverado, auto. 1997 Nissan Altima. 08 or 09 Sub Forester 6 speed man, can't remember. 04-ish Subaru Impreza 2.5RS. Late 80's Volvo 240 wagon. 1983 or 4 VW Vanagon camper Westfalia. 1996 Geo Metro. 2014 Civic EX sedan. 01 Saturn SW2 wagon. Couple of early 00's Saturn SL2 sedans, manual trans. 2005 Focus station wagon, auto. 2001 Focus wagon, manual. 1966 VW Beetle. 1976 Toyota Corolla hardtop coupe. 90's something Geo Tracker 4x4 5spd. 2000 VW New Beetle TDI 5 spd. 2009-ish Hyundai Elantra, base, manual. Can't remember what year Suzuki Esteem sedan beater winter car. 1976 BMW r90/6 cycle. 2002-ish Kawasaki Concours cycle. 1996 BMW R1100GS cycle. 88 BMW R100RT cycle. '13 Honda PCX150 scooter. mid 2000's Kawa Ninja 250 and 500 cycles. '03 Triumph Bonneville T100 cycle. 1988 Dodge Raider V6, stick shift. 1982 Audi 4000 2 door coupe. 1985 Audi 5000 sedan. 1996 BMW F650. 2000-ish Buell Blast. Late 90's Pontiac Grand Am. 1998 Ford Contour SVT. Late 00's Mazda 6. 2007-ish Civic EX sedan, auto. 1987 Jetta GLI.

Best/worst cars out of that lot/random notes: The 05 Focus wagon was a fantastic car, bulletproof, highly versatile, totally underrated. Wish you could buy a new one. The Saturn S series cars were great cheap cars that were impervious to dents, easy to work on yourself, decent with twin cam and manual trans--again, highly underrated. The VW Quantum wagon was unstoppable in snow, with center and rear manual locking diffs. The '07 Civic saved my wife and daughter when a semi hit them at 55 mph, they basically walked away, kudos Honda engineers. The '69 Squareback was awesome, should have never sold it, might be my favorite of the list. Should have never sold the Raider. I've never met another human who actually owned an Audi 100LS from the seventies, or a VW412 4 door (not the wagon). The Mini Cooper was super fun to drive even with base engine, handled great. Esteem was a turd as was the Outback Sport. Contour was a blast to drive, sheep in wolf's clothing, but a turd mechanically.

Our current '16 Civic EX-T is a great car. Less personality than many of the above. Too bad Honda doesn't sell a proper station wagon in the USA. Our current '14 Civic is better screwed together than our '16, far better assembly attention to detail. But it drives like a moaning sloth in comparison to the newer car.

Cars I want: A VW Thing. A second gen Scirocco 16V. My stepmother's pristine low miles '96 Honda Del Sol. An NSU Ro-80, restored. An original body style Mazda RX-7. A Toyota 2000GT. An AMC Matador Barcelona Coupe, and an AMC SX-4. An old Honda Insight. Late 80's Toyora Supra. Suzuki Jimny. A brand new Land Cruiser. A Citroen Mehari like the one in "Omega Man".

Just a few.. I still have the Land Cruiser. The Shelby was nice but I think I've grown out of garage queens. Loved my Accord Sport and miss it daily...and the G35 was twin turbo'd. Lots of fun.
