I found a picture of my last car, a 2003 Matrix XRS 6-speed. It was by no means as nice as the GS, but it was tons of fun to drive and absolutely amazing for it's utility factor. I have to say, some days I miss having a stick shift and I still miss this car. It was like riding my sportbike but moving furniture at the same time. >8100rpm redline. :P You complain about the wheel gap on the GS, take a look at the gap on this baby.
Because I liked the Matrix so much, I'm actually pretty excited about the CT200h since it looks similar in design... though I'm still not sure if the CT will have a full bed with folding seats like that Matrix did. If it does, I would seriously consider getting a CT as a second car if we ever needed one.
BTW, all you guys are used to driving much nicer cars than I am. :P

At age 15, almost got away with a brand new 1989 NSX...only if my aunt did not told my dad that I was too freaking young to drive in NJ!!!
I did not get my vary first car till I was 18, a used 89 SupraT (family went bankcruupted, so I was on my own two feet).
Then when I made my vary first Million (when I was still in college invested in stock market), I bought lot of toys!!!
93 SupraTT (550 WHP), ZX7R (learner's bike, later traded in for ZX7RR)
95 M3, ZX7RR, S500
97 Aurora, TownCar (both are for my dad)
Married to my soulmate, but with a price... had to get raid of SupraTT, M3, and ZX7RR.
99 I30t
04 Q45t
06 LS430
Current 07 GS350
FYI, not all Asian kids are born with silver spoon, some of us do have to work hard for it to happen!!!

I have a huge list of cars/bikes owned and driven throughout the years, ill go in the order of purchase from my first car back in the 90s to current times.
My first car, a 1978 Datsun B210, i got this as a hand me down from my dad who bought it new back in Jan 1978. Idont have the actual pic since its way before i had a camera. but it looked like this but was white color.
Second car i bought was used 1982 Nissan Stanza in Beige (yes that's the actual pic of the car owned).
Third car i bought was my first brand new car, a 1998 Dodge Neon R/T, i used this in many autocross races when they actually had Neon ACR races.
Fourth car i bought new as well was a 1999 Mercury Cougar, it was nice modern car of its time, unfortunately plague with problems so i sold it.
Fifth car i bought brand new as well was a 2001 Nissan Frontier truck, i used this for little utilities here and there, carry lumber, and misc activities i often did.
Sixth car i bought used was a 1987 Toyota Corolla GT-S Coupe, the last of the RWD Corolla's in silver like this one:
Seventh car i bought used was a 1973 Datsun 260Z in dark burgundy, i sold it to my co-worker after a year:
Eighth car i bought used was a 1990 300ZX Twin-Turbo 5 speed, i sold it after owning it for 5 years after finishing the mods and paintwork to get like a SUV:
Ninth car i bought used was a 1999 Nissan Pathfinder SE Limited, i traded this in 6 months later to buy a brand new 350Z roadster, yea the sports car bug came back to me:
Tenth car i bought brand new was a 2004 Nissan 350Z Touring Roadster 6MT;
Eleventh car i bought brand new was a 2005 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V 6MT, i wanted a compact 4 door econobox grocery getter at the time with good performance:
Twelfth car i bought used was again a 1990 300ZX Twin-Turbo (same color diamond black), yes i missed that car so i bought it again but ultimately sold it again to make room for a new hobby later on:
Thirteenth can i bought used was 2003 Toyota 4Runner Limited (i still own this car):
Fourteen vehicle marks a different type of ride, i wanted to get started on motorcycling so i picked up a used learners bike a 1992 Kawasaki Ninja ZX6:
Fifteen vehicle i bought brand new was a 2008 Suzuki GSX-R750:
Sixteenth vehicle i bought was a used 2002 Honda VFR800, i wanted a more comfortable touring type bike to commute to work on:
Seventeenth vehicle i bought used was a 2006 Kawasaki Ninja ZX14, one bad *** ****:
Eighteenth vehicle marks current time, my 2006 GS300, and the only 2 vehicle remaining in my stable is the 03 4Runner and my GS300, i do plan on buying another bike sometime next year....:
All the pics used were the actual vehicles i owned EXCEPT for the 1978 Datsun B210, 1998 Dodge Neon R/T, 1987 Toyota Corolla GT-S, 1973 Datsun 260Z, and the 1999 Pathfinder, those i couldn't find the pictures readily in my photobucket.
