First car was a '97 Chevy Cavalier. Traded that in for my '02 Camaro SS (which I still have). Just bought my '06 GTI last week and I love it. Best car I've had so far, even though it has half the power of the SS.

Sold my '02 M3 2 months ago and got on list for '07 CW. Decided to go "affordable" but something that's still a blast to drive and good everyday. Due to pick up on 08-14, pretty damn excited.

1. 1982 VW Rabbit - 1st car
2. 1984 Honda CRX
3. 1972 Datsun 240Z - repairable
4. 1988 Toyota MR2
5. 1995 Honda Civic - 1st new car
6. 2000 Volkswagen GTI VR6
7. 2002 Audi A4
8. 2003 Infiniti FX35
9. 2005 Acura TL

and now the GTI. Keeping this one for awhile.
Other vehicle is a 2004 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab, wife drives.

Gotta love the Datsun/Nissan Z cars. My car list
1986 Nissan Maxima (lived long good life)
1984 Nissan 300ZX Turbo Anniversary Edition

Getting a CW Rabbit 5-speed, hopefully it comes in this Week. I was/am a Nissan man, I got the rabbit cuz it seemed the best option between price/option/sportyness/looks, and i needed a car i can drive in the winter and somthing i don't have to worrie about. I have always liked previous golfs, I hope this car can live up to my expectations.

The whole VW thing is just untill I can get back into a Z car.

I came from a Mazda 6s Hatch 5speed. It was fun at first but after a long list of fixes and problems the car become more of a hassle than it was worth!

I've been a VW owner for a while now and really haven't driven anything else. Are there lots of ppl here who are driving their first VW or first Golf? I'm curious what made you switch. I'm telling you though once you own the Golf u'll be hooked on it for life. :bow: Get ready for an obsession. :wub:
I thought I was going to be hooked on the Honda Prelude for life too. And then there was the Civic for life. Then there was the Jeep for life. Hmmm....I see a pattern here. It's my first VW. But if I know me, I'll move on.
