What have you driven? Sill killing time waiting!!

Well I didn't think he'd actually do it. It wasn't repaired, he had to drive it like that. We did much worse ... wiring doors shut when people would sleep on the night shift. You know, the normal things people do when they're very very bored.
(The mine is still in operation, I believe.)

1974 Mazda RX4 Rotary Wagon
1983 Mazda RX7 (converted to 13B... Then added a turbo... Then converted to run on propane... Made a digital dashboard out of a Commodore C64)
1988 Toyota MR2 Supercharged
2001 Lexus IS300 (my first auto... but with gear hold buttons on the steering wheel.)
2000 Ford Ranger EV NiMH
2011 Nissan LEAF (my first front wheel drive vehicle.)

Wow, another person who modified Rotarys... my father did that, I swear he had one of each (including the pickup) up until the RX8. Therefore my list:

RX3 (modified exhaust, Holly carb, ported, RX7 distributor, etc)
An Oldsmobile sedan of some sort... hey, it was free
1992 Mazda Protege LX
2010 Volkswagon TDI (current)

Those were mine. The spousal unit had, during the same time period...

Mercury Lynx (not sure of date)
1991 Dodge Shadow
2000 Nissan Altima (current)

so really looking forward to the Model S.

Yes, now that you mention it I did have a lot of fond memories with that car too! Mine was a yellow one. It was a bit embarrasing picking up my prom date with it though... would have been nice to have had either of my Roadsters back then (had they existed)
