19 and I currently own a restored 1991 BMW E30 318is. before that I drove a beaten up 2000 Honda Civic lol....

[Vic]

33 years old. I'm mainly doing this to remind myself how many cool cars I shouldn't of sold.

1988 Chevy cavalier- first car completely seriously neglected still started and ran on command.

1985 Toyota Supra blue (mk2) purchased this car from a shady 'buy here pay here' without knowing how to drive a stick. Taught myself on the way home 20 Miles away. So many fun memories packing the car with friends, dumping the clutch, and revving the piss out of this car.

1986 Toyota Supra white (mk2) from 18-25 I hunted these cars and would buy every last one if I could. Automatic daily driver boring car but still a Supra.

1985 Toyota Supra Silver (mk2) I was STILL a dumb kid... When I purchased it leaked coolant from the radiator like it was in style.
Well...after a few repairs I drove it for a while and sold it. It was then involved in a really bad wreck (t-boned)at a high rate of speed. Driver survived... Dinged up pretty bad but lived.

1999 Saturn.... It's a Saturn.

1986 Toyota Supra burgundy (mk2) this car was turboed... Crazy fast and super fun... While the engine lasted. Very bad idea and big waste of money... But so much fun!

1983 Toyota Supra white (mk2) I had driven in this car with previous owner years earlier, and was so impressed with how clean it was, and how tight it drove. I purchased it from the said owner who fell into financial trouble and it was still clean and tight when I got it. Regret selling.

1984 Toyota Supra light blue (mk2) bad idea.. purchased and sold it within a week. Leaked oil from everywhere.

1987 Toyota Cressida (gold) same inline 6 engine as all the Supra's (5mge) great car! Sold for cheap.

1994 Volvo 940 turbo sedan super awesome car. The brick! Sold for cheap.

1990 BMW 535i (E34) my introduction into the BMW world. Long story with this one but such a fun car with 5 speed and m30b35. Taught me quite a bit about these cars. Sold for cheap.

1989 Mercedes 420Sel. This is possibly the best car I've ever owned and driven. The quality of the interior, v8 power, Attention to detail, and driver comfort can't be matched. It hurt letting this one go. Sold for cheap.

2005 Subaru Outback XT (black). First and only loan on a car. Fast grocery gettin' Utilitarian vehicle. My introduction to Subaru. Sold.

1984 VW rabbit cab with Callaway turbo kit. Still regret selling this. Such a raw, fun, fast little car. This turbo kit was rare for these cars. Old school tech, and tuning but so much fun especially with the top down on a nice day. I still regret selling it... Had to make room for BMW's. Sold for cheap.

1989- 318i e30 Touring. Imported from the Netherlands. Really cool car. Rusty, fun, light and nimble. It also taught me how to import and register a 25 year old vehicle from another country.
Traded for ↓.

1987 325i e30 Sedan. Awesome car that I still own. The 2.5 m20 b25 has grown to a 3 litre . Suspension rebuilt, e46 330i zhp steering rack, working ac, Ronal 15 in wheels, stromung exhaust. This car shifts, drives, handles like a real car should. It just feels super solid. This one will be around for a while.

1989 325i e30 Sedan. Clean Cali car, twin cam swapped, super clean interior. Has a "New car feel" such a different car than my '87. Will be for sale soon.

2004 Chevy Suburban- Everyone should own one at some point. King of the road.

I've owned several other cars mainly Subaru's that I've purchased to flip so I didn't add those. My intention is to drive, and sell as many cars as possible as long as possible. It's exciting knowing that they're still so many cool cars that I've always wanted but yet to drive.

Oh dear...42 and 15 cars in. Realizing this is nothing compared to some of you out there...though I get constant ribbing from the fam on car ADD.

In order, do not have any except the 318iS. I'm serial like that. All sold to move on to the next, no totals or anything.
