Here's my Nissan Altima 2005. It's my second Nissan Altima and It's really a very good car. I never had a problem with those two cars.
The situation was very different with my first ones.
My first car was a Datsun 1200 1972 (I bought 2 Datsun to make one in 1977 and It took approximatively 5 minutes to reach 60 miles per hour with this new "bomb");
My first brand new car was a Renault 5 1979 (I had a lot of fun with it but the motor exploded at 25 000 kilometers),
The next was a Toyota Tercel SR-5 1982 bought new the day after I had a new job (It was a wonderful car);
Subsequently I bought a Chevrolet Cavalier 1988 (nothing to say about this car), changed 1 year after for a Toyata Van 1988, when my first son was born.And my worst car was a Oldsmobile Cutless Supreme 1991 bought in 1992. This car was a nightmare!!! (The paint peeled off, the motor fell down on the road, the fire caught inside the steering wheel, the front left wheel fell down when I was on the highway and so on...).
And now, my dream car!!!

@Mike
Do you know the "Can-Am Spyder" from "Bombardier" in Quebec? I think that's exactly what you are looking for.

that I can make out any how.I would have preferred a Vectrix 3-Wheel but its not yet
available. They are using the same dual front wheel
parallelogram technology as the Fuoco.

I've got to give honorable mention to my favorite old beater - the '86 Country Squire. It was just too fun, especially in the winter, to not worry about driving over the occasional curb, or through the woods, or ramming the occasional snow bank. And oh, the fun of rear-wheel drive in the Wisconsin winters - one time I actually took a phone call start to finish while spinning donuts in a huge open parking lot. Immature, you say? Yes, I suppose so, but oh boy was it fun
Now I've got to apologize to those of you who are doing your part to save the planet. I'm afraid I am not doing my part with this one... My dad and I have been working together on our '69 Mustang for 17 years now - he bought it when I was 10 years old. We plan to paint it this winter. We've fixed or replaced just about everything but the rear-end gears and the paint. Rebuilt the engine a few years ago (351 Cleveland - for those of the metric persuasion, that's about 5.85 Liters after after a slight bore and stroke job) and put in a Tremec T5WC manual trans. We decided a long time ago that it's better to get the mechanicals in order before painting it up to look pretty. Nothing against those who choose to do it in a different order, but I didn't want to have the beautiful paint job with blue smoke coming out the tailpipe... or sitting broken down on the side of the road (though I had my share of those experiences too). I've learned a lot over the years from my dad while working on it. Some more details for those who might care to know: I estimate it's putting out 360hp and 390ft-lbs torque - never had it on a dyno or timed it at a track. My dad and I also designed and fabricated Shelby-style tractions bars.
Before the local activists track me down and let the air out of my tires, I will note that I often drive my wife's car to work to offset my mileage at least a little bit. And I ride my bike whenever I can, too. The car is an '05 Hyundai Elantra. It's dark blue - if you want to see it, type the following into Google image search "dark blue 2005 hyundai elantra". The bike is a Yukon Giant - nothing special, but it's been good to me and is tough enough to survive 5 years on the UW-Madison campus (45,000 students makes for a lot of bikes on the bike racks and I've seen plenty of bike skeletons laying chained to a rack due to negligence or vandalism).Peace,
Nick -

Like Susan, I went to the web for an image, but here's a near copy of my "8". Fourth, and best, Mazda I've owned, and the first brand new car I've owned in 25 years.

PS: A couple of weeks ago my friend's girlfriend
asked me if I knew what was the difference between
a Porsche and a Porcupine ...... I'm still trying to
figure it out
I'm sure you've figured it out already Mike. I think she must have been upset with you, see below for the answer, incase you're still wondering...
In the case of a porcupine, the pricks are on the outside. So I think she was insulting you.

165,000 miles and going strong. We have a lot of Summer fun practically living out of this SUV; camping, biking, hiking, festivals and all. Also very good in Wisconsin Winters. Very practical and comfortable vehicle.
