1989 FORD TEMPO - my first car.. it was a hand-me down. Didn't know anything about cars when I was 17, so it just eventually died on me 1992 Camaro Z28 - still have it. Absolutely addictive to drive, but so much has been done to it that it's tedious to tune 1976 DATSUN 1200 ( forgot the designation ) - 2 dr datsun FRONT WHEEL DRIVE. Clutch went on me. Didn't have the time/money/resources to fix it 1984 Honda CRX - drove her to the ground. Bought it for $500, complete with holes in the floor board, rust, and a broken rad support. Started to learn how to fix cars with this 1991 Pontiac Firefly TURBO - loved it. Miss it. But, I'm spoiled, and hated not having power steering (esp after having the CRX). 1994 Honda Del Sol - loved it. Swapped the B16A2 into it with Type-R cams. Sold it for something more practical, but not before driving to NYC with it 1991 Acura Integra - the "practical" replacement for the Del Sol.. also wanted one when I was in high school when it the DA bodystyle became popular 2004 Mazda 3 - still have it. It's actually my wife's car 2009 SMART PASSION - wanted to try the "fuel economy" thing.. mainly just a daily urban car. Drove to Cali with it.. Leased it 2010 SLK 350 - now that we have the Mazda, I figure I have myself a toy BEFORE we have kids

- 1993 Nissan Sentra Classic AT *embarrassed lol* (one of my only automatics, sold it)
- 1986 Honda Civic Wagovan (loved this car, started having engine problems, sold it)
- 1999 Yamaha BW's 50cc scooter (my only other automatic, it wasn't THAT great on gas, about 4.5L/100km, but back when gas prices were 70 cents a litre I probably paid like $6/week on gas, $45/mo on insurance, and since I bought it outright for $1600, no payments, it was dirt cheap for the one year I owned it, cheaper than a bus pass and way more freedom, sold it for $1500 lol)
- 1991 Toyota Corolla (sold it)
- 1985 Honda Civic wagon DX (really loved this car, clutch went and I didn't have money to fix it so scrapped it)
- *Three years without a car, from 2004 to 2007, not 1985 to 1988 lol*
- 1988 Honda Civic Wagon RT4WD (really really REALLY loved this car, it had the SI's non-VTEC D16A6 engine that produced 105hp, had a sweet sounding engine, and had the precursor to the CRV's Real Time 4WD system. It also had a 6 speed manual transmission, which basically consisted of 5 regular speeds and 1 Super Low speed that was even lower than first gear, for climbing super steep hills or getting out of sticky situations. That gear was to the left of first gear. This car is the only car to this day that I've owned that required 91 octane gas. Unfortunately, 12 days later, a guy ran a red light and destroyed the car. I cried signing that car to be written off. The only consolation was that ICBC gave me its book value of $2295 when I bought it for only $800.
- 1991 Toyota Corolla, I bought it back from the guy I sold it to originally, sold it when I got...
- 2008 Toyota Corolla, I ended my ban against getting car loans and finally got myself a new car. It was a 0% finance for 48 months so wasn't bad, but I only had it for one year before I traded it in for my 5.
1998 chrysler intrepid I missed the space but nothing else! Did each corner of the car have different postal codes?

Did you mean all intents and purposes? Other wise what intensive purposes did you have in mind? How intensive do you get in it?  I've let my imagination run wild!
