      The fact that I own it outright and know how to work on it. Being able to lap newer, so-called "better" cars at a track day is pretty gratifying too 8-)

            if I can fit it to the front of the driveway and still be able to get to the backyard, I love it!

            really though, it all happens in the drivers seat for me. the first look out the windshield.

              For me its how it feels, and how it comes together as a package. I liked the Mitsu EVO until I sat in one and drove it..... its fast but dosen't give you the interior room of an e30, etc. I have loved every rear wheel drive car I've had, and had no use for the two front drivers. That, and I hated my two Fords, too. Love the Jeep Wrangler, the old Merc 300E, the e30s, e36, etc.

                The same feeling I get when I'm in love with a woman.

                I catch myself staring at them constantly followed by an uncontrollable desire to take them for a raw, passionate ride in a secluded area.

                Seriously, who else catches themselves staring at their car as they walk away from it in a parking lot or in their garage? I've almost gotten run over so many times because of it.

                  The only reason I look back is to make sure I didn't leave the lights on, or to see if any fluids are puking out of it.

                  :D

                      How it drives is what sold me on the e30. Just feels right.

                        You and me both.

                        I love the feeling of looking at my car everyday and knowing I love it more and more.

                          Suspension + Torque of a six + Exhaust sound + It's paid off

                          And it feels glorious at the track / auto-x

                            Roger that.

                            i love the way it communicates to me like most other cars dont.

                            and mystikal, i look back at it all the time, and my friends tear me up about it :p
