What Did you Drive before the Sienna?

Hello everyone, just wanted to introduce myself. I consider myself a car enthusiast and a former VW Golf driver for the past decade (hoping I'll get back into one in the future.) Growing up my father had a first gen XL10. Now with my own family, and a set of twins, we're waiting for our own Sienna. Funny how some things come full circle. I did a quick search and couldn't find this conversation topic. So what were you all driving before the Sienna? Or what is your weekend car besides a Sienna? ☺

The Sienna is technically the wife's car but we use it as the family car for the four of us. Before the Sienna we had an 2008 Acura RDX (first gen with turbo engine) that the wife mostly drove. It was old enough that it kind of our beater car where we'd park it with impunity.

I now drive a 2022 Model Y and prior to that I had a 2005 Acura RL and a 2016 Acura ILX. I ended up getting rid of both of these cars when used car prices were sky high and settled on a single car, the Model Y. The wife never drives the Model Y because it's too weird.

1990 Maxima. Hand me down. It died 2007 after I let it sit during my deployment.
2002 4runner. It was a hand me down to the wife and my current backup car.
2012 Prius C my current commuter. Only car I ever bought brand new.
1978 MGB. My most recent purchase and never ending project.

My cars have been so reliable that I don't really need to buy cars I guess. The 4runner can prob last another generation. Lol.
Yeah, I've only owned 4 or 5 cars in my life and none of them were broken down when I got rid of them. I always had reliable cars so this is the first time in my life that we have essentially 2 brand new (fairly expensive) cars in our household.
