Be cautious with threads like this, because this exactly the kind of information that financial institutions use to help prevent identity theft. “Which of the following cars did you own?” is an actual security screening question.

'91 Ford Probe LX

'94 Ford Taurus SHO - I LOVE THIS CAR!!

'97 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo V8 - first car with wife. Starts my wife's affliction for SUVs.

'02 Audi allroad 2.7t - my practice car for the future VAG products. LOVE this more than the SHO.

'07 Honda Odyssey Touring - With 2 kids, now comes the minivan.

'09 Audi Q7 TDI - pulls like a tank. Dieselgate.

'11 Cayenne S - rebuild engine - due to plastic screw. transmission replaced, transfer case replaced, scared me out of VAG products till the Taycan.

'14 Nissan Leaf SL - first EV. Love it for what it was. 68 miles of range. woot, talk about range anxiety.

'14 Range Rover Sport V8SC - that engine noise. JLR knows how to make them sing.

'16 Tesla Model X - c'mon - you know there's gotta be a Tesla on the road to Taycan.

'17 Tesla Model 3 - can't just have 1.

'19 Range Rover Sport Autobiography - Love the build quality of the 1st one, so got another.

'21 Tesla Model X (pre Yoke, but still a '21) - since I already had 2, might as well.

Love it! We're Celica siblings! Loved that little thing, not very fast but fun as heck.

Indeed! And I agree, except that the Euro and JDM versions had an engine (3SGE) that liked higher revs than the engine the US got (the 5SFE AFAIK), so although not fast in todays terms...in those days...it actually held up quite well.

I've noticed a lot more Audis and Volvos than BMWs and Mercs in people's threads. Wonder why that is? I know Audi and Porsche are close cousins and share platforms, I could just never quite warm up to Audis. Always seemed a bit too "clinical" to me.

I ended up in the Audi by accident myself, and haven't regretted it one bit. And to be honest, it is what brought me to Porsche today. So i really can't complain
