First car was a 1994 Acura Integra. I did my fair share of modding (a little rice, I know).
Then I sold the Integra and picked up a 2004 Saturn Ion Redline (new). I had that car for almost 10 years, until I sold it and bought my Z (last year). This car was incredible. It had a 2.0L superchargerd engine (same as the 05-07 Cobalt SS), which made the car incredibly quick. As much as I love the Z, I do find myself missing the Saturn. The only downside to the car was having to deal with the constant "OMG, a Saturn? What a joke!" comments.
