My first car - 1993 Acura Integra LS Special : pretty loaded-leather, power sunroof, windows, no PDL, and it was an automatic. But I loved it. Parents bought for me.
Nice 140hp B18, pretty light, pretty decent suspension.


Then I bought myself this 1992 Infiniti G20. I wanted 4 doors, ABS, PDL, and a 5spd. Got it cheap, but maintence was a bitch - clutch, brakes, ignition, header pipe, exhaust. Sold it last August and bought my current car. This car had a little more torque, nice SR20 revs, and handled, but FWD sucks.

1990 325is. The Acura is driven now by my sister. I love the E30, and spent a long time figuring out what car I wanted, after buying the G20 as a cheap 5spd. I was looking E36, Audi 90 Quattro, Acura Legend......but then discovered E30 325is were affordable, good with maintence, and better than E36s. What can I say about the M20? It revs like the 4s, but with TORQUE, and better exhaust sound......and handles awesome.

Bonus picture:

Got the instructions off of E30sport.net the spring before getting my E30. All red tails > yellow indicators.

Next car: ? E34 M50, or 20V 90 Quattro, or Civic hatch B18C maybe (gas mileage DD). This E30 should become weekend track bitch, hopefully.

edit: I forgot I drove a 1991 Buick Park Avenue for about 4 months while the 325is had the broken rocker arm. Big ole american car with a lame V6, but it got me around and had a big front bench seat.

2003-Current 1986 BMW 325e [Mods: racing seats, JC chip, no cats, modified airbox, blah blah]

2004-Current 1985 BMW 325e [Parked right now, getting 2.7i motor, european bumpers, sport interior, 3.73 LSD, and more]

And I own 2 Go-Peds ;) One has a engine swap with a big bore kit.

May 2002 - Oct 2002 1994 Auto Mitsubishi Galant. I got it from my parents when I turned 16

Oct 2002 - Aug 2003 1993 5-speed Acura Legend Sedan. I bought this car because I was ready to drive the Galant off a cliff. I wanted a BMW, but everyone told me not to because of the expensive repair costs of German cars. Everyone said to buy a Honda, so I did.

Aug 2003 - Present 1989 5-speed BMW 325is The car I really wanted the first time. I was tired of the floatly, smooth, fwd luxury car, and I decided get the BMW and deal with the expensive problems and unreliable german marque. 11 months later and the car still hasn't had any problems, and I think I'll be keeping it for a long time to come.

I've only had 3 cars:

in 1994 I got my mom's old '81 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, it was a big ass boat with 200,000 miles and an anemic 3L V6, but it was comfy and it actually did pretty well in the snow.

in 1997 I sold the cutlass for $500 and bought a 1967 dodge dart for $700 in great shape. I swaped the 225ci slant-six for a 318 (big mistake actually) and drove it for 5 years until I got tired of 8mpg, being unable to stop and trying to park such a huge ass car everywhere..

in 2002, I got my current car with 125k on the clock.. :)

2001-2003 ---- 1991 Ford Explorer

2001 - i drove an 87 volvo 760 gle that was givin to me by my grandparents. the only things i enjoyed about it were the stereo i put in it and the heated seats.

2002-2004 - my parents and i bought an 87 325is. i drove it up until april 23, as you all know it met its maker up in german heaven somewhere.

in the future i will be looking for (preferably) an 89-91 325i or is. or a 91 318is.

First: 1984 Pontiac Fiero 4 cyl 4speed 86k miles

1985 528e automatic in burgandy, slow as shit but good on gas and rode awesome

1993 Jeep Cherokee limited 5.2 v8 automatic. bone stock except for a few stereo things i did to it.. its got about 192k now.. orginal transmission for those of you who know the history of chryslers trannys (and we used to pull a 5 place enclosed snowmobile trailer to canada)

1949 chevrolet street rod. automatic, built small block, converted to 2 door, weekend car only. this car runs

1987 325es my current and probably the one car i will keep forever. my dads first bmw, and technically my first bmw (528 was on loan). When something breaks in this car and the motor goes i will replace the parts and drop a new drivetrain in it.. m50 or equivilant of course. Cheaper than buying a new bimmer but still just as reliable
