Hi, guys.
 
I'm a 33 years old electronics engineer in Southern California. I do not have long list of owned cars and long years of driving experiences like most of your guys here because I had never owned / driven a car before I came from China to this country in 1992. I'll catch up with you soon.
 
1987 Mercury Capri ( Bought used in 1992, my first car. 4 speed manual, same as a Ford Mustang, now have 200k happy miles )
 
1995 BMW 3 series ( My first new car. 5 speed manual. Loved it. Thought I would be a BMW person for the rest of my life. Attended lots of BMW events. )
 
2000 Lincoln LS ( V-6, 5 speed manual. Just when I was shopping for a BMW 5 series, I saw this car, and got hooked. I guess most of the BMW owners think their cars are the best, without knowing what's happening outside their circle. )
 
I went to the LS Mania on Jan. 6, but had to leave early to drive to Las Vegas to attend the International Consumer Electronics Show, thus missed the fun driving part.
 
So glad to know you all.

Hello!
 
Names Eric and I am 31 year old engineer for a major hardware computer company located here in Boston, MA area.
 
Just bought my first AMERICAN sports sedan, sold my '97 Audi A4 Quattro Turbo Sport, what a sweet ride that Audi was.... about a year ago bought a 1989 Ford SHO Taurus and actually liked its basic beginings of american competition over the Germans, found an arcticle from '89 and it being compared to the BMW M5.
 
Well I upgraded the SHO to a Black/Charcoal Grey LS Sport V8. If I can swing it the SHO should be seeing the SCCA track sometime soon I hope.
 
I want to modify my LS, anyone else who has done any mods. I am interested!
 
My car list:
 
70's Ford Maverick - I told myself after this car never a Ford product again.... until now...
'79 VW Scirocco S - fell in love with the high reving engine and sports package
'74 Triumph TR-6 - junker... but, boy the straigt six sounded good.
'83 Honda Prelude - Should have kept this one....
'88 Toyota 4Runner
'92 Acura Integra LS Sport
'94 VW Passat VR-6 Sedan - OWNED it 22 Days, totalled it on 128/95 Welcome to Boston!!
'92 Nissan Maxima SE - Nice power too much weight in front end.
'97 Audi A4 1.8T quattro - Started modifying car, Chipped it, lots of aftermarket crap!!!
 
Own today:
 
'89 Taurus SHO 5 speed w/ 16 50's rims and 1200 watt stereo system!
'00 LS V8 Sport w/ ATS, Moonroof, heated seats!
'69 VW Karmann Ghia - Pride and Joy, nothing beats a 48HP convertible crusier!
'93 Ford F150 (wife's) - Tows the trailer
'01 Ford Explorer Sport Trac (wife's)
 
Hope to see you all online, its eric_ls8
 
can reach me shoquattroearthlink.net

Hi,
 
My name is Bruno Busnardo and I bought my Black/Charcoal LS8 Sport about a year ago. I am 29 years old and run a petroleum service company in Denser.
 
My previous cars have been few, but have all been good cars but one.
 
1 - 1971 Pinto - I was 16 and this car just kept taking beating after beating without fail.
 
2 - 1984 Renault Encore - Piece of S
 
3 - 1989 Ford Escort - Great car. Never broke even once after having 100k on it.
 
4 - 1995 Dodge Avenger - Totalled when a guy ran a red light doing about 55. Walked away without a scratch which prompted purchase of #5.
 
5 - 1996 Dodge Avenger ES - Black/gray with 5 speed. Great handling car for the money and the first car I fell in love with. Sold it with 100k on it and it never had a problem. Got me from Denver to Venice Beach in 12 hours flat one time.
 
6 - 2000 LS - Second love - Has the spirit of the Avenger with twice the power and better handling and ride. After 22k I still love it but am getting a little disappointed in the rattles and squeaks that are starting to show up. Never had one in the Avenger, which cost half the price of the LS when new.
 
Wife has a 99 Ford Explorer which has been a good car. I think I may stick with Ford for a while (especially since Jaguar and Land Rover are now part of the mix). My dad always bought Fords(the Pinto and the Escort were his first) and has always been happy.

Z Comer! by seredmon

I'm a former zcot (z club of texas) member that laid his Z to rest 6 months ago. It was not easy. I work for Ford and get a great discount on their cars. I never really cared much for them, til I saw the LS and took it for a test drive. WOW!
 
It's a great first attempt at luxury, performance and style that competes well with Lexus, BMW, and Mercedes. Unlike my Z, it could use a little more horsepower. But I still get the looks and the compliments that I use to get for my Z. I'll rely on you guys to get more horsepower.
 
Like to meet new members - Keep it clean!
