What about the reverse jump?? I've been looking at my finances... and unfortunately my car is being sold (someone has a deposit on it). I looked around everywhere for a suitable replacement that had almost all the features i was used to, but nowhere near as expensive to insure or drive (petrol)....

Only thing i could come up with was a '92 Saab 9000 Turbo, but i wasnt impressed with the looks, so i am about to do the following:

1992 Toyota Soarer (SC400) --> 1992-1994 Civic hatch

Man i am going to miss that leather and climate control (and touchscreen, and cruise, and all the other features!)

Default big jump?

Here are mine in descinding order:
presently - 95 sc300, 99 es300
94 infintiti j30
95 benz c280
95 infiniti g20
96 camaro rs
94 ford escort
93 camaro
90 nissan sentra

I really liked the interior of the j30, the leather smelled just like a real baseball glove and was durable as heck.
The rs had the best stock stereo I've ever seen. Didn't need to upgrade anything.
The sc is the best car I've ever had. In my opinion, it's one of the best cars ever made...period.

That is not an opinion.



Boy, I thought I made a big jump in transportation going from
a Neon to an SC400. I see a lot of you have me beat.

My last two previous to my 2000 Gs3 have been
1982 Toy 4x2 which i loved and still miss. i had 120k+ on the original clutch. THAT's Toy quality.
along the way i picked up a new 91 Tercel completely stripped save for the AC and right side mirror.
...and i thought that was a bit of luxury.
when i test drove the GS i never knew it could be so good. she was sitting on the show room floor
and i couldn't sign fast enough.

...then i found CL and in never knew how poor i could get.
