1995 Nissan Maxima - Gave me trouble about every 2 to 5 months. I had it for about 5 years got it when it had 50k miles on it. The dealer gave me more than I thought they would, still amazed lol.

2007 Ford Mustang - Just bought it on Tuesday, its amazing, I love it to pieces.

My first car was a 1996 Ford Fairmont. Big hulking tank of a thing that cost me more in petrol than the repayments on the loan.

Had auto everything in it, was a decent car to drive, just cost me too much in fuel.

Big Aussie Ford! 4 Litre inline 6 cylinder engine.

The rest - in chronological order:

1978 Ford Fiesta (US)

1977 Triumph TR-7 (my 2nd favorite car)

1976 Honda Civic CVCC Hatchback

1980 Toyota Tercel 4-door

1986 Toyota Celica GT (not the GT-S)

1986 Isuzu Impulse (my favorite car)

1991 Honda Civic Hatchback

1991 Honda Accord LX 4-door

It's amazing for me to just remember these cars when I had them- the only ones I have now are the '91 Civic and the '96 Quest.

On a more serious note, first car i drove was a Jaguar XJ6 Mark II, with a leather roof, 4.2l straight 6 and first time i drove it was reversing up a hill and round a corner, all at the same time. was some experience for my first time ever in a car.... it didn't go well :p

First car i was given was an old ford fiesta barely worth a mention, though all credit to it, it got me from A to B and only ever had problems when breaking hard going round a long right hand bend, seemed to starve the engine of fuel and it would cut out :)

    • I gave up on browser ad-blocking extensions a few years ago, replaced them with Adguard. Not perfect but overhaul is a nice app that does the job on both Windows and Android with the respective versions.

    • "Of course the easiest solution is to switch to uBlock Origin Lite if you want to remain on Chrome, as it is MV3-based, but from our experience, uBO Lite does not seem to be as good as the original non-Lite version" In my experience uBlock Origin Lite does the job for normal everday home users. When they kill that we get to watch Firefox and Brave get a boost in user market share.
    • Block by DNS ad blocker! I dare you! I will even layer unlock Origin, on top of my internal DNS, if I need to and I don’t even block ads today (I really should but this type of behavior makes me angry). I suppose I could also just be lazy, and add the flags myself, back to each release (it wouldn’t be that difficult).
    • Wonder what MPs have ties to these privacy/verification/data harvesting companies that are going to step in this time. Last time under the Tories half the cabinet had fingers in the pies, heck even the PM and his wife at the time was working for silicon valley, probably made a fortune.
