My 2006 Mazda 6 isn't much interesting, but it is how I like my car: as ordinary as possible, and enough space for the driver to be comfortably seated. Will probably drive it as long as it totally breaks down or is not reasonable to repair anymore.

I have approx 165k miles in it (110k when bought) and I haven't had to do anything else than fix the brakes twice and change the front coil springs. That is one reliable car.

I also have a 1998 Mazda 626 with a fitted JDM spec high-power engine, but that has been a "project" I don't have time for in the last five years, and I am starting to think selling or scrapping it.

I have had many cars in the past, but most of them have been ordinary, cheap beaters. Maybe the most interesting of them was a 1996 Celica, but it was with the 1.8 engine and wasn't actually any different than a regular Corolla.

This was my "summer car". Had to give it up because I didn't have space to keep it. I loved those aftermarket "wankel piston" wheels.

All you guys have cool and interesting cars. I'd really like to show mine too but sadly my Korean made silver transportation appliance is not cool or interesting. :(
No worries, the only thing that makes my current Civic bore-door interesting is that it's a model that was only sold in Canada - and even then it's more obscure than interesting. :lol:

LOVED my 86 Celica notch-back! My one and only FWD car I owned as the 86 was the first year for FWD in a Celica. Had a 5-speed and the 2.0 4-cyl.

I wish my car was even obscure.
This is my first car that can be lost in the parking as there's usually bunch of similar appliances parked around. Before I was always driving something somehow stood out.
My on going project car is old enough to fit the obscure/interesting category and I will show it when it's back on the road.

Wow that Datsun is sweet!! I would love to have one of those.

And in the spirit of posting our parent's rides that are far cooler than our own.. May I present my dad's '86 Grand Wagoneer!

Wow, I don't think I ever have seen a 30 year old Wagoneer in pristine shape. I don't normally look twice at SUV's, station wagons, or woodies, but I would gladly park that in my driveway. Nice!

I drive a not so subtle car and I've never received any kind of attention.

Here is a pic of my 99 V6 coupe. BUT it does not look like this now. It's a bit beat up from my nephew and it has 2005 Mustang GT wheels on it now. Those Bullitt rims are on my Pop's 98 GT.

This photo was taken around 2002 when my Pop owned it. He bought it new in 1999 and my nephew bought it from my Pop in 2014.

She was originally a California girl-got her from the original owner in 2008 with only 47,000 miles on the clock. Now has about 77,000.
My son and I flew out to Santa Monica and drove all the way back to Ohio. 2200 miles and I was sad to see the journey end.

"Box" S-10s are the best! :thumbup: I've had 6 so far-getting pretty rare to find one in nice shape these days. Keep us posted on how your restoration goes.

Thanks. It's a 4.3 auto. He's only 15 so it's in the pole barn for now. She's a tire burner though. Lol :thumbup:

Love the S-10's! I had a '97 Ext cab for a short while that had been my brothers. A great little truck.
