What Import HoT-ROd did you have before your WRX??

Since the WRX is fairly new to the U.S.
I'm sure many of you owned hot rod imports before switchen over to a REX...I thought it would be cool to see what some people drove before,
Here goes:

96 H22a Civic hatch 1850#s plus driver 210 WHP Mid 12's@109 MPH
03 Altima 3.5SE 244 WHP 13.56@103
91 Galant VR-4 never dynoe'd 12.7@107

plus some other cars

They weren't hot rods, but they were cool. I miss all of them with the exception of the RS.

I sold my Duster and drove this for about six months. It was a loaner from my mom so I can't really say I owned it, although I was the only one to drive it.

I loved driving this car and kinda wish I still had it. The car was fast and handled like a dream.
She told me she would sell it to me for $19k (back in Feb. 2001) but I already had Suby
fever....and the rest is history.

Did you happen to work at the concord mitsu dealership or know a guy named Ken from pittsburg? Ken had a 91 VR-4 as well, and I know the VR-4 guys tend to know eachother!

btw...my last car was a 91 RX-7.
