I traded a 2000 Neon in on my C class. I have had way to many cars since the beginning to list. I used to change cars every 8-14 months since my father was a dealer and I drove used cars off the lot that he picked. So the list is long and crappy. Mostly Neon's, Stratus, Breeze, etc..... Best one was an Avenger ES loaded that I only had for a few months. Totalled that one in a stupid accident with myself and a telphone pole on a drunken night..... I paid for it and learned from it thank you......

 

i'm a youngin so the only other car i've ever owned was a:

'92 dark purple cougar LS

i loved that car. very reliable and the color was great. i wished i could have gotten the MB in that color.
