2008 Mazda5 5MT Sport w/ Popular Package
Sooo, let's see if the Mazda5 owners have a common ride ownership pattern. I've seen a couple of sigs around and it seems that at least I've owned similar cars, so it might be a trend :D.

You can include your past high school/student cars, but may be not the ones that you eventually borrowed from your parents, relatives, neighbors nor rentals (unless you were the one driving them most of the time for more than a month or so :D)

If my memory does not fail (maaan, I used to own old cars, damn student life)
