-1991 Toyota MR2 (Non-turbo), worked every hour I could after school to buy myself

-Full turbo swap for mr2, worked every hour I could after school to purchase all the required components I needed for the swap

-2001 Mazda Protege, had to sell the MR2 at a loss when I had clutch issues and needed more reliable transportation to get to work while in college

-2003 350z I just purchased last week after saving for years while working in college and finally graduating.

Woot for hard work and determination! (Now to pay off those pesky student loans )

They were not the best looking cars, but man I loved the GNX. I remember the first time I had my *** handed to me by one. I had no clue what it was at the time.

A lot of people didn't know what they were. It said Buick on the grill only and that was a tiny emblem. I had a GNX, a GN and 240SX all at once. The GN was an 11 sec car.
My parents didn't buy them for me though.

yeah, ok, if you say so. lol Buddy of mine has a GN, not sure if it is the GNX though. Pretty freaking impressive for a 6 cylinder. And yeah, they are sleepers for sure, thing left me in the dust.

I still remember talking to the guy at the next light. I asked him what in the world he had under the hood and he said "Just a 6 cylinder, but it's all in the plumbing!". I was 16 and had no idea what he meant, but I knew I needed to work on my pipes after that.
