Have others noticed much difference between regions of the US by their cars? I haven't been East much, but MN/ND/KS area domestics seem to be loved, and there doesn't seem to be much knowledge of imports (thankfully changing; no offence).
Out here in Seattle/Portland in general, Honda/Nissan/Toyota/Subie are the darlings, domestics overall don't get much respect. BMW and other 'status' cars aren't as popular, with all the little mechanical/elctrical gremlins that are annoying, except for those that can really afford them.
OK I'll list my past cars too:
'80 Datsun PU (sold for $50, chopped, raced camaros!)
'84 S-10 Blazer (biggest p.o.s. EVER)
'88 Cavalier Z24 (sold for $150)
'90 New Yorker
'92 Olds88
'89 Sentra (recently put down, 225k miles)
'91 Sentra (raced to death, 185k miles)
'90 240SX (best handling car ever driven!)
'91 Q45
Not too shabby a list for a 25yr old! Too bad I had to go through all the junkers to learn how things work (sound analogy). Now, it's Nissan/Infiniti. Next car, likely a QX4, and hopefully a VH45DE supercharded under the hood
Then a little 'daddy car', 240SX with same supercharged or turbo'ed VH45DET.
Practical dream car? 350Z with forced induction V8 and all the suspension/brake/etc mods.
