1991 Eagle Talon TSi... It should have been a beast of a car with the AWD drive and the turbo and the what not. It was the first car I bought with my own money and the first car I drove after a self imposed 3 year driving hiatus.

For a moment I love everything that I see, and think, and feel

@noursegod: You can't deny that the lancer's profile isn't just a tad bit sexier

@Maxis47: And then you can start listing the 5 door 3 as a poser car due to the number of asshats who will try to make you believe that it is a speed3.

@bacon117: Using this logic, you would have to throw in every car that has a hopped up big brother on steroids. Base model mustangs, standard Imprezas, the base model Focus, etc... Yes, the base model Lancers may attract a certain type of buyer, but for those of us that know we own a GTS (sportback, BTW) and not an…

@luisthebeast: I prefer the gen5 in its natural habitat

@noursegod: Or in stock trim...

My first car was an '87 Celica that I managed to roll out in the Ozark mountains. My mom decided to get my sister and I an Altima after the wreck - I could not convince her that that a Celica Turbo All-Trac was the better choice...

@Meat Robot, commenting apprentice: Knowing Mazda, picture the same car with larger wheels, RX-8 style wheel arches, and a big goofy grin on the front. I'd rather not...

@Joewithay: If its good enough for Tony Montana, it is certainly good enough for me

And I still love the Porshe's from the 80s

And this too if a certain movie hadn't ruined it for me...

Some more Mazda love

And those fine people in Miami think that a parking garage with NO walls is a good idea? Some people can't event manage to keep a car in a garage with walls.

Anybody who thinks they can control my radio and those who can't handle it when things get a little sideways in the truck.
