1998 VW Golf K2. I wanted a GTi, but the VR6 was out of my price range, and a GTi with the 2.0L was an insult. Learned how to drive stick on that car.

1962 Chevy truck. Actually just sold it right before I picked up my E92 335i. Still own my 1994 Ranger 4x4 rock crawler that was my daily driver for 12 years. 155,000 miles, still solid!

1992 pontiac grand am GT, I loved that thing lol dealer ripped me off though, I paid 1700 bucks for it and cost me 1200 bucks to fix. It ran but it would stall all the time (automatic).
I was 16 so I didn't know anything about cars or dealers and all that stuff haha ![]() My following cars were: 86 BMW 325e 92 MR2 99 Infiniti G20T 2012 scion TC 07 328i ![]() That's right! I traded my newly bought scion for an older car... I love the bimmer 100x more!

1991 Toyota Supra Turbo. No engine swap just some home made boost controller, upgraded fuel pump, regulator, injectors. Plumbing done by me. Self welded down pipe. Took the exhaust off every time I took it to track. No spray. It was faster than my current 335i.
Was horrible on gas and not very reliable. |

1992 Chevy Lumina Euro 3.1 Sedan.
I LOVED that car. Bought for $500 It was nice. Dark gray with a gray interior, and bullet proof 3.1 MPFI V6. The odometer stopped at 157k and I drove it for two years that way, then sold it for $500 to some guy who drove it down to Florida and drove it for two more years until the rear control arm busted and the wheel fell off. Since then: 2004 Saturn Ion 3 Special Edition Sedan 2007 Saturn AURA XE 2009 BMW 328i xDrive |

- 03' Saab 9-3 arc
- AW E90 335xi <-- Current When the time comes I'd like to get into another 335 (E90, E92 or F30) or bite the bullet and go E82 135... might miss my AWD though. |

I only buy a car about once every 12 years. First one was a 1985 Mustang SVO in 1987 with 14k miles on it. It was a baller car at the time for a 20yo GI, and started my love affair with turbos. A few years later I rode in a friend's Talon TSi AWD and I knew I needed that kind of traction so I bought a 1991 Galant VR4 in 1999. Drove that almost until I bought the 335xi this year.
First one was about 2.5 seconds faster in the 1/4 from when I started until I was done with it. Second one was 3.5 seconds faster. I'm going to have my work cut out for me on this one :-). Just set the benchmark last Saturday with a stock 13.9@98 at high elevation. |
