i had 97 eclipse spyder, white body with a tan convertible top i saw some kid driving it today.. i miss it, my first car,the car i used to pass my road test with. the car had been in my family for years used to be my sister's car but was past down to me when i was old enough to drive. :( anyone miss their old cars? i named it "Clippy"
 
I miss my 98 Spyder Eclipse..
Perfect White Exterior
Perfect Black Leather
*auto .. only problem i had with her.

Bought her when i was 16 years old.. Didn't know ANYTHING about cars or what a DSM even was...
(still thought turbo ment nos and stuff ;) ) haha 4 years later.. i built the motor in her and had offers of 6000.. sold her and bought my gst now.. My Gst Now is way faster and more fun.. but the memorys i had with my spyder can never be takin away!

thats 1 of the reasons why i sold my spyder too was b.c it was auto, that and i was stuck in the maintenance phase and never got a chance to have fun and put rims etc. on it
 
Miss my first DSM, 1992 Laser RS AWD. Was rust free, had some dents, and had a clean interior. Roll up windows and manual locks made it light too (joking, but was the lightest factory 1gb!)! If I had that car now, I would be enjoying the crap out of it. But, I was a dumb noob back then, and sold it cause of some problems. Now I look back, and that car prob could have been saved with a boost leak test and a fresh 14b.

I also miss my last DSM. Partly because I see it driven around. I got fed up with it, it sat for a while, and then sold it to a guy at the shop, who sold it to a friends brother. Was sharp, and actually kind of fast. I miss it :( . Now I am dsmless..
 
I had a Talon ESi with a little under $10,000 dumped into it. I honestly can't say I miss it because the TSi AWD is so much fun. The thing I do miss about it is that it actually ran.
 
Ive owned 3 DSM's and sold them all, thinking there would always be another one. And now I cant find one. I really miss having one perioid.
 
I miss the sh!t outta my 90 TSI that is shown in my pic to the left. My dumb@ss sold it back in April so I could by a 3000GT VR4. I wish I had never done that, I enjoyed driving my Talon so much more than the VR4. But, on the bright side, I just got my VR4 traded off for a 95 GSX. So I'm happy. Now when I get out of Iraq and get back home I will have a DSM waiting for me. Cant Wait!
 
I miss my 97 GS. The body was in great shape. as for motor not so much, thats why I sold it. But it was still a good car & my first DSM & the DSM that got me hooked! =)

i would like another DSM maybe next year. but for now im gonna stick with my 98 it has a bit of rust, my spyder was clean with no rust at all, the spyder convertible top would sometimes leak so that was a pain.. with my gs im replacing tranny and clutch so wanna get the most out of it, and have a car that's rust free or at least minimal.
 
I miss my 01 Prelude. That was one of the coldest cars I have seen to date. Built h22, suspension, blue pearl paint job and a sound system was top notch! Had separate amps feeding the lows, and the highs, and 2 amps feeding the 3 12's. I never turned the bass all the way up. I kept it just right. I use to ride past the rapper Twista and even he would do a double take. It literally sounded like a live concert. That car was my entry into the import scene.

I probably will miss my Spyder eventually (just a little bit). I just donated her to charity a week ago.

As much of a pain in the but it was to tune and build, I miss my Focus SVT Turbo! That was a great build. 351whp @19psi on a GT2860
