      Studebaker Lark,1980's Buick Park Avenue,1990's Oldsmobile 98.1974 Corvette convertible( yes, with the seam in the back.) lots of other crappy 70's/80's GM cars. Almost any RWD station wagon, and late 90's Chrysler Town and Country mini-vans ( My shame is complete)
      1990 325is "the rat"/ E30 Warsteiner tribute racecar/1985 325e "faded Glory"/ 1968 Chevy II Nova "the baby"/ 2001 525i 5spd purchased May 2013 with 16k miles. Plus other junk that annoys the neighbors.

          Jaguar X-type (Particularly an awd manual wagon, if I can ever find one)
          Dodge Omni
          Ford Fiesta
          Ford Escort GT/ZX2's
          5th gen Honda Civic Hatch
          Honda CRX
          Triumph TR8
          PT Cruiser (I know, I know)
          Any of the import compacts (Yugo, Renault r5/Le Car, for example)
          Mazda 323/Protege
          Super Beetles (the 'fat chicks' of the aircooled vw world)
          Any 'car' with a motorcycle engine: Berkley, Morgan's, Honda Sxxx's, Legends racers... Although this category is less embarrassing overall.

          I could go on, but (aside from the jag) any small car; coupes, hatches, etc.

              Uh, cuz they're badass. I remember when my dad's buddy "upgraded" to the 3000GT VR4 with the twin turbo his insurance rates DROPPED. The Conquest had a higher power to weight ratio.

                That they are. My neighbor had one, i thought it was sweet. My other neighbor had an e30. As you can tell I thought the e30 was a little cooler.

                  well of course...Not sure if you're in Boise or not. I was there for work this week. Only saw one E30. Bone stock '84 318. It looked clean.

                    Yeah I'm in Boise. The scene here is meager at best. Lost of hondas.

                    But there is a Turbo'd m20, turbo'd s5x, and a swapped s5x, and a few lightly modified cars but that's it. Not portland thats for sure.

                          I love fox bodies, have one too! I also like Mazda rotary pickups, Chevy monzas, and the one I hate to like because I actually think they're ugly, but I still like em are ford probes.

                          Currently I have a 65 f100, 70 MGB GT, 85 635csi, 89 mustang, and 3 motorcycles.

                                Jackie Chan was the Mitsubishi engineer, that car was so futuristic looking. Much cooler that the Delorean in BTTF

                                Up here in Canada, nobody knew what it was
