1993 Nissan SE-V6 pickup truck. Used it during the first two years in college, and it was the hauler vehicle for large items I had (i.e. computers, TV, small furniture pieces, friends, etc.)

We had several vehicles in the family, but the first one I actually drove was a 1983 Honda Accord...not much power, but was it ever reliable.

Thumbs down 1991 Ford Mustang

The reason I went Japanese & never went back. Nevermind the transmission issues where the car would cut off @ every stop or the crazy oil pump that caused me to have to replace the entire engine ... my favorite kinks were like the passenger door that would no longer open or the windows that would no longer roll down. When I traded it in the salesman got out of the car & said: "This car is NOT safe. I will not let you drive off in it."

I tried to find it on the web but does anyone know if it was a RWD? Thanks

1958 Hillman Minx - 4 door sedan, column 4 speed, actually had a crank you could start it with. This was in 1964-65 so it was actually only 6 years old. Neat little car. Traded it in on a '65 Sunbeam Tiger after I got married.

OH MAN, my first vehicle was a 1994 Nissan Pathfinder. I used to love that truck. It was like a tank, just ask the police officer that I had the accident with. First and only accident and it was with a cop. Hey and it was black just like my current vehicle.

No, we all don't drive Lexus products. Many CL members own and drive non-Lexus vehicles.....even some of the moderators.

The Fairmont / Zephyr platform hung around a lot longer than the car itself did. it served as the Mustang's ( and short-lived Mercury Capri ) basic platform until 1994.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the Fairmont / Zephyr had a V6 like you said. Like its competition, the Dodge Aspen / Plymouth Volare, Chevrolet Nova, and AMC Hornet, it used a straight-six, inherited from the Ford Maverick, which it replaced.
