I have driven some sure, the Maybach, dad's Mercedes or his Omega, but I have never owned one.

i have never driven a rwd "car". My explorers were rwd but not "cars" and could be put into 4wd. The WRX is not rwd. everything else has either been fwd or 4wd trucks. I had the chance to drive an S2000 and I think that was largely because we were both drunk. I handed him the keys back before we even got in.

I'm looking into owning my first RWD vehicle, a Crown Vic since they're dirt cheap and mildly entertaining

You've driven a Maybach instead of sitting in the back, so I don't doubt you have questionable judgement around cars.

I've never owned AWD, but since I've owned RWD, classic 4WD, and FWD, it's mostly a footnote. More oddly, I've never owned anything with over six cylinders or more than 120hp, but that's on track to change when my project is finished. Drastically.

I've never owned one either...my only cars in the eleven years since I've gotten my license have been my Celica, my Bonneville, and my WRX.

I've never owned anything that wasn't. That'll change in a few days.

Guy at the dealership asked me if I wanted to drive it: shiny bits were distracting me so I said yes.

FWD Bonneville sounds so weird to me but yeah, I have owned my french cars and the Tribeca.

You should do it. If I lived in the US I would totally buy a Towncar.

Question, does it snow where you live and if so how do you survive winter without RWD? If I couldn't slide I wouldn't be able to make it.

Confession of my own, I've never driven anything fast . I have driven my cars (SC400, Crossfire) fast, but they are relatively slow.

Come to think of it, my first and only car with over 160hp was the Tribeca which I still own, and my first car with more than 4 cylinders and AWD. What is your project?

Everything I've owned has been either FWD I4 >160hp or the Subie which was my first AWD, 6 cylinder 160hp+ car. S2000 drunk doesn't sound like much fun.

No, I live in south america so it's either hot or pleasant. And your cars aren't slow, I've owned french inline 4 my whole life 160hp at best, that is relatively slow. The fastest car I've owned is my Subaru SUV haha.

First car was a barn-find 1996 Impala SS... Only RWD car I've owned, and undoubtedly my favorite. Crappy 90's interior, and questionable electronics, but far more entertaining than it had any right to be!

I've only driven my dad's Towncar when he had one. Otherwise it was Suburban, F-150, Suburban, 9-3, Fusion, FoST. That doesn't include friend's vehicles or test drives, though. I did take an FR-S out but I only count things over an hour in seat.

But, I'll have 4WD soon.

I've driven more FWD vehicles than I have RWD though.

Should end up not much over 1100kg, with 250+hp, and better weight distribution than stock, with vastly improved handling. I'm planning to install hydraulic suspension mount adjustment, so it will be able to vary height 15cm or so without altering ride stiffness like airbags.

Other stray parts used, the grill from an earlier model:

Blazer 4x4.

Though the price on a Black Legacy GT keeps falling. If it gets to under $7k, I'll be looking at it.

I actually loved it. It was the first car I owned that had RWD and traction control that I could turn off. Granted the Impala didn't have TC...but it was so heavy there was no 'dynamic driving' even possible. If the Catera could have had a more powerful engine...it would have been awesome. (yes, I'm insane, I know)
