to be far, at least a dozen were sh!tbox MK1 VWs that I basically resurrected and sold while living in Washington. Didnt put too many miles on most of them...

I think I've had 15 cars total including 3 e30s

[Northern]

Shit, I'm only at 9, 12 if we count bikes. I think I look at a lot of cars and don't end up buying them.

Part of that is that I've kept my e30 forever, balanced against the 4 "Project" E30s/E28 that I seem to continuously buy/realize I don't have time for/sell/repeat.

I have had 2, can I have a cookie please
I guess 3 if I count the truck that I borrow from my mom when I need a truck.

What a divide, would have expected more cars from both of you above. Over 30 here, but not by as much as I thought. Adding in other vehicles with titles pushes it to 50ish, which makes me shudder at the titling fees I've paid for that fun.

I get pretty attached to my cars, so they're usually with me until they someone or myself wrecks it

That is crazy. My FD brings me to 9 and I don't think we're too far apart in age.

I want to buy some fun motors and stash em… current ones I really want are a VR6 (12v) and a SHO Yamaha V6… then I just need a 914 🤣

You want the SHO engine and it's not the V8? If I'm hoarding some fun engines are no 6 cylinders on my mind and if there were they wouldn't be in a V. Mercedes M120 and M156, Mazda 20B, LS7...

You know whats crazy? How many cars you've owned

I made a list recently... Its only in the 30s

[MrBurgundy]

Just looked back to see when it was that I bought my first E30, 2011... I think I will bump the thread after I fix the photobucket-linked pics...

facebook informed me that 10 years ago yesterday, my M20 spontaneously disassembled on the way home from work.

Hard to believe it's been 10 years since then, or something like 14 years since I bought my e30

Did you guys know that Hemmings has auctions too?

Didn't know, but auctions are the fun way to buy right now, or so it seems.

This year so far I've bought an 01 330i, an 03 Ranger, a 99 SVT Contour, a 16 Colorado, a 10 Ranger, an 01 325ci, and just today an 89 Grumman side console. All of those were from the local mostly charity auction. Total spend just over 11k including transport to my driveway, and not including the 2.5k or so in parts purchased to fix problems the vehicles.

The polestars are ok looking for electric cars, compared with telsa motors cars which are pathologically bland, as if designed by committee and focus group to be inoffensive.

I just think Volvo did such a good job with the whole SPA lineup, especially the V60/V90, Wish that stuck around a little longer, and had a real ICE "Polestar" version or something. The PHEV "Polestar Engineered" stuff is cool/tempting, but the ICE front / Electric Rear powertrain seems like a control systems nightmare, and I don't think the performance figures fit the quoted 455hp/500ftlb. I also want nothing to do with a hybrid system out of warranty.

That said, I guess the Polestar 1 was very SPA-like, but I guess they've just evolved from there.

Would still love to someday pick up a well optioned non-hybrid V60 or V90 and fire a JB4 and a few mods on it, because I like my XC90 a lot for hauling family and highway use - I just wish it was a wagon.
