My first car was a Ford Escort GT turbo… Then after college and working for a few years I got my first Porsche. A 993 C4 cabriolet

Then life happened… married and kids and so we got a few family cars…. A Dodge Durango. A town and country minivan…. Yea yea. Boring…

And then in 2009, I took advantage of Obama’s cash for clunkers deal $4,500! and literally towed the dead Durango into the Toyota parking lot and got a Prius. That Prius is still doing great 160k miles later and my daughter loves driving it at college where she gets extra brownie points for having a hybrid!

Of course now we also have our new babies…

His-

And hers-

My 2022 Mach-E is my first green ride. Looking at the progressions from the rest of you...damn, you people are now my heroes

2005 Prius -> 2012 Plug-in Prius -> 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV-> 2022 Mustang Mach-E.

2004 Sienna (sold at 235K miles)

Your 1972 Chevelle Malibu 350 was a more popular GM Version of my Pontiac T37. The T37 was a Poor Man's GTO.

LOL, properly optioned, the T37 was quicker than the GTO. It weighs less. Pontiac never put a lot of work into the 354 (the engine they called a 350). They put this work into the 389 and 400 (for 3” main engines) and the 421, 428, and 455 (for 3.25” main engines). Too bad your T37 didn’t have at least a 400 in it.

I was building a high-compression 455 4-bolt engine when I got my ‘79 T/A new. Voided that powertrain warranty real quick. It wasn’t my first driver because of the engine build/swap.

My factory screw-up 1969 Coupe de Ville was my first driver. Smoothest, quietest car I have ever been in this side of a Fleetwood (which is just a bigger version of the same car).

I have been through at least a score other Firebirds (Formulas and Trans Ams), a Bonneville wagon, a couple of Grands Prix, another Coupe de Ville (with the correct hard top frame vs. my original with the double-wall box frame for a convertible), a dozen GTOs/Tempests/Le Mans, a few first-gen Toyota Celicas, a Buick Gran Sport, an ‘87 Fiero, an ‘89 4Runner, the ‘72 K/5, a ‘14 Fusion Energi, and now the ‘21 GT-PE. I’m sure I missed a few here.

This is the story of the electrification journey of a young man who started his driving life in high school as a Pontiac man back in the 70s.

Saw my first Gen 2 Prius at a Toyota dealer end of 2006. It was white, I thought it was ugly, and the salesman couldn't get it to start.
After some research and six months for the looks to grow on me, I purchased Lightning Green McQuean in Silver Pine Mica.
Now with my son and still going strong at 200,000 miles.

I converted Lightning to a plug in hybrid using the Enginer pack with 8kWh extra batteries to bring him up to 65 MPG on my 35 mile commute, but that platform was not very robust and seemed to require frequent repairs.

December 2011, I leased my first all electric 2012 Nissan Leaf.

Then in Dec 2017, I was looking at the Gen 2 Leaf but elected to upgrade to 2017 Chevy Bolt Premier instead.

And that brings us to today, not so patiently waiting for my very first Ford Mustang still in production last time I checked. You can't say this is not a Mustang

While at the same time saying this is

I have wanted to get an electric vehicle starting about 10 years ago - just never pulled the trigger.

1962 Ford Thunderbird
1967 Ford Mustang (3 on the floor, Straight 6, 200ci)
1977 Ford Mustang II (4 on the floor, V6, 171ci)
1972 VW Beetle
1980 Honda Civic Hatchback
1969 Dodge Pickup
1987 Honda Civic 4-Dr Sedan
1990 Honda Civic Hatchback
1986 Mercury Topaz
1993 Subaru Legacy
1997 Mercedes Benz E420
2000 Mercury Sable
2000 Mercedes Benz E430
2005 Mercedes Benz E500
2012 Ford Focus
2023 Ford Mustang Mach E Select

My MME is my 45th car. The list is too much. ( wasn't a dealer but I did get flagged for flipping a few too many in a year )

 

[Rutherfordb]

Fun to see everyone's progression, here's mine:

June 2006: Prius (Silver, Trim No. 8) (still on the road)
February 2011: RX450h Hybrid (totaled May 2022)
June 2022: Toyota RAV4 Hybrid (sold February 2023)
February 2023: Mustang Mach-e Premium

I have a F350, Raptor and Mach e. Liked the idea of the prius, but it wouldn't suit my style at all. Im a truck guy, the prius is small, and nerd-like.

The Mach E is cool, even for some friends that dont like electric cars. Its just cool!, and the space it has inside works for me well.

GM EV-1 (still my favorite even though the range was terrible)
Toyota RAV4 EV (when they partnered with Tesla)
Nissan LEAF
Honda Clarity Fuel Cell
Mustang Mach-E

 

[Mach1E]

The Prius is the path to the “non GT” Mach E.

Seems like the GT and GTPE buyers have a much more “fun” list of past vehicles.

I’ve said this before, but the Mach E seems to bring VERY different groups of car people together.

My list- (No Prius)

89 Bronco Eddie Bauer
98 Pontiac Grand Prix GT
02 Pontiac Trans Am
69 Ford Mustang Mach 1 (still own)
07 G35S sedan
15 Chevy SS
21 Mach E GTPE
