I'm always curious about the evolution of what people drive and how it led to their current ride. Here goes my list.... (yes, I miss Pontiac)

'72 Ford Mustang (just a coupe nothing exciting)
'81 Chevy Monte Carlo
'86 Pontiac Firebird
'91 Pontiac Firebird
'96 Pontiac Sunfire
'02 Pontiac Sunfire GT (my go-kart - I loved this little car!)
'07 Saturn Aura (had a kid...needed something bigger than a go-kart)
'11 Chevy Camaro RS (Owned concurrently with the Aura -was getting bored)
'14 Buick Regal GS (Sweet spot between the Aura and Camaro but was a love/hate relationship)
'19 Stinger

‘84 Mustang GT - my first car. Was slow as molasses and the clear coat was pretty much gone. But I was happy to have a Mustang as my first car
‘93 Mustang LX 5.0 - My first manual transmission car. Sold my ‘84 for $1400 to pick this one up for $1600 cause the guy selling didn’t want to do a simple fix and thought it was something big
‘06 Mustang - Drove this car for 12 years and 192k miles. Sad to see it go.
‘18 Stinger GT

1977 Grand Marquis - Was used car my dad gave me at 16... I totaled it in 30 days.... I know... monster car... well I hit a brick wall with it in a parking lot after seeing how RWD and rain works with no experience driving.
1977 Chevy Impala - What dad gave me to replace the totaled Grand Marquis. What a piece of crap. Everything broke. V8 with 140 HP. No options... just a AM only Radio.
1986 Chevy EuroSport - Brand new. Dad bought for me and my brother because 77 Impala lost it master cylinder and almost killed my brother.... so mom made him buy us a new car. This EuroSport was the worst car I ever owned. Everything broke. It has the 2.8 Multi Port piece of crap engine with 125 HP.
1987 Nissan Sentra - Wife car. Had a radio, sort of an engine, steering wheel and few other things. But totally reliable.
1993 Nissan Sentra SE-R 6 Speed Manual - Manual Windows...Manual Locks.... but loved this car.
2000 Mustang GT - Orange/Red with Black stripes. When I brought this home and she heard me from around the block and then saw the color I thought I was getting a divorce. Had it 4 years and then could not take the noise in the cabin anymore. Was good in straight line but terrible interior and handling/breaks.
2001 Toyota Sienna - Wife car. Best built car I ever owned. Very reliable. Terrible on gas. Rock solid...except for that stupid auto sliding door kept breaking.
2004 G35 Infiniti Coupe - Awesome looking car. Great handling. Decent power. Horrible interior.... Rattles.... Bad plastics. Ton's of issues from 2nd year on. Not reliable.
2019 Kia Sorento - Wife car. Love it. We have the EX model.
2019 Stinger GT1 - Best car I ever owned. Need I say more?

I wish I could have stretched my budget three years ago with a Chevy SS but here I am now with the Stinger. I think it all worked out.

Another Pontiac fan... seems like many of us are gravitating towards the Stinger.

Yes, for me me I had a flashback to my firebird days when I took the test drive. I fell in love when I was a teenager when I saw that black beauty roll out the back of that 18 wheeler, Smokey and the Bandit. Similar feeling when I saw photos of the Stinger prototype.

I feel like the Stinger is a grown up version of my Firebirds.
