What cars have you owned?

[kevincwelch]

I've never met anyone else who had a Corona! Mine was the sedan, and a '75. Hate how people always try to correct me, saying I had a Corolla. My Corona was silver with a black vinyl roof and black vinyl interior... And AM only radio. The clearest station I could get was a "Funk" station, so I can honestly say I know all the words to Rick James' "Super freak"

We had the sedan as well. Same year - 1976. It was a maroon-purple color. And, yes, people would always ask, "don't you mean a Corolla?" Interestingly, my dad owned the Corona sedan and now has a Corolla. Drives his Tacoma more, but the Corolla gets better mpg obviously.

Hmm.. Trying to remember the years, could be a bit off.. But a nice thread while waiting, indeed.

1984- Volvo 740 (Dad's)
1991 Renault 5 (The first car of my own!)
1993 Renault 19 (the 5 was really a bit too small for comfort)
1996 Renault Megane Coupe 1.6 (the first car I really wanted as soon as I saw a picture of it, ordered one and had to wait for months!)
1999 Ford Puma 1.7 (my only company lease car... Pretty neat car, but HORRIBLE service, and it had a lot of (mostly electrical) problems)
2003 Hyundai Coupe 2.7 V6 (Really liked this one, had it for 8 years as I did not find anything better!)
2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 3.8 V6 (Finally found a better car! )
2014 Tesla Model S 85 (on order, very hard to wait!)

Curiously, all my cars have been new, even my first owned car. I guess I like the new car smell.

Looks like I have been reasonably brand loyal as well.

Here's my current Genesis Coupe, the day I drove it home from dealer back in April 2011.

What car did you drive before ordering a Tesla Model S?

Sorry if this post has already been posted somewhere else... Couldn't find it.

I have been a muscle car addict for years... 9 Viper's, 800 hp Ford GT, Mercedes SL63 AMG. I saw a few Tesla Model S's driving around town and decided to go see what they were all about. All it took was a test drive and a tour of the car and I placed an order the next day. Can't wait for the new ride to arrive at the end of June.
