Hate the LX 470
HATE was kinda heavy. It just wasn't a LS 430. Big truck that was built with quality. Lots of window noise, coupled with noisey engine. Could NOT pass a gas station. Not at all economical, but I did expect that. Just happy we got rid of it and have a nice car.

1984 Red Nissan 200SX Hatchback 5 Speed- Awesome Car and will always be my favorite cause it was my first.
1994 Charcoal Nissan Maxima GXE- 4+ Years of incredible service, rock solid, nothing but good memories.
1997 Black on Tan Nissan Maxima SE 5 Spd- Piece of garbage. Unloaded it after two months, learned my lesson to never buy on EBAY out of state.
1998 Black on Black Nissan Maxima SE 5 Spd- Absolutely loaded with every option and tastefully modded. Had it for a year, nothing but pure pleasure. Never ever had anything to worry about. Unloaded it 15K miles and a year later for $600 than what I paid for it.
1999 Imperial Jade GS 400- Gourgeous car but has slight little flaws I'd never expect on a $55K car.
1988 Caddilac Fleetwood Deville- Current beater. Gray on Gray. 4.5L V8. Cant say anything. Got it for $200, could leave it anywhere. A real score.

Some of you guys were spoiled! 
I got ya'll beat on the first car bucket award.
1981 Isuzu I-Mark DIESEL!!! It was about a 3rd or 4th hand car at the point I got it.
Oh man, everyone could hear me coming for miles in that thing. Black smoke spewing...I couldn't wait for a biker or a convertible to get behind so I could floor it. Once the car downshifted and the RPMs went up it spewed that black smoke all over em. I know, I know, I'm bad but I was younger and dumber.
One time I zoned out for a second and even put regular gas in that SOB, you know what....it still ran! Never even hiccuped or anything. I freakin hated putting diesel in that thing...I always had to get the plastic glove from the counter, the girlies were really impressed with that move.
Peace,
Mark Mac
