How old are you and what cars have you owned?

[NotColtonOrr]

Damn, and I thought I was doing pretty good with owning 2 e30's and only being 18.

86 325e - current
88 325is - will replace the 325e as soon as its fixed.

[BlackbirdM3]

I'm 34, I've owned:
67.5 Datsun 1600 roadster- never ran while I owned it. Sold, and is being restored in Utah.
'69 Datsun 2000 roadster- My first car, and now my vintage race car that gets driven on the street most of the time. Will never ever be sold.
'59 Alfa Romeo 101.02 Giulietta Sprint- Barn find, HUGE project, Might be driveable in a year or so.
'69 Alfa Romeo 105.51 1750 GTV US Spec- 1 of 640 built for the US market in '69. Rear ended and totaled last June. It was another barn find that was a really good car.

'88 BMW E30 M3- Current daily driver. Replaced the 1750 GTV. 74K miles on it, 3 owners spread across 3 continents and 4 countries. (From what I can tell.) I bought it in Canada last Dec and drove it home. The car is cool, but I can't really form a bond with it. If the right offer came my way, I think I'd sell it. It would have to be the right offer however. If I had the opportunity to trade it for a clean '71 Nissan Skyline Hakosuka, I'd likely do it. Perhaps a really hot E9 3.0CS or CSi (I'd love a CSL, but good luck) would do it, or perhaps an equally hot E28 M5. That said, I can't think of another modern car I'd rather have.

Never bothered with this thread until now. Figured I'd go to the first page or two and found this gem. In the context of the average age around here, this was fucking hilarious.

1989 bmw 325 ic ( still) mt



the best car is the 200 sx it had over 300k miles on it. it had the same engine as my truck doesn now a z24. Its ridiculously reliable

it was also rwd handled great light. Actually almost perfect and for its day amazing. I hate myself for losing that car. you can definitely say a 240 sx is a better design but nothing ran forever like the old school 200sx not the new one that was a sentra.

the worst is the ford aerostar that thing broke down constantly and seriously at every moment in an avalanch fashion.

infiniti i30 was a nice one too it got such good gas mileage for being so large but I hate autos so im better off with the bmw.
