1986 Jeep Cherokee (My wife's car just after we got married)
1990 Nissan 300ZX

2000 Mazda MP3 (the Axxess got totaled after a mere 300K miles!)
2000 Lincoln LS (replaced my 300ZX after my daughter was born . . . needed a back seat!) btw, this was the 2000 Motor Trend Car of the Year and a VERY good car)
2004 Lincoln Aviator (still in the garage and still a great SUV)
2007 BMW 335i (replaced the Lincoln LS after the LS got totaled -- rear ended at 45 mph by a 17-year old girl on her mobile phone). My now 8-year old daughter and I both popped out of the car unhurt AFTER I drove it out of the intersection where the accident occurred. I miss the LS, it was a well balanced sedan and acquitted itself very well during its SCCA autocross days. It notched more than a few 5 series in it's day.

The 335i Coupe is loads of fun, and I'm glad to be back in a smaller car with a manual transmission again. I no longer need to accommodate a rear-facing child safety seat in the middle rear seat position (this issue alone precluded buying a 5-series back in 2000). This is my first "Ultimate Driving Machine" and I'm hoping for another "long-term" relationship.

1988 Mazda RX7 Turbo II (heavily modded)
1990 Mazda RX7 convertible--fun in the sun


Looks like you had a rotary thing going there for a while...:thumbup:

[BMW.Nick]

Roger that! I still have a soft spot for them, but I got REAL tired of blowing engines!! My last TII went through 3 engines in a years time or so. All 3 of which had QUITE a bit of work in them. VERY fast but VERY unreliable!

No bikes in the garage currently - thinking of an F800ST...

Ah, forgot the three Honda 600s we had a long time ago - 2 sedans and one Z coupe. Different and interesting in their own way.

The concept of a rotary sounds so intriguing, because there's no power loss in converting reciprocating motion into circular motion. But the lower torque, higher fuel usage, and slight oil consumption of a rotary seem like significant drawbacks too. Hopefully, the next generation Renesis will be better...

'think that the people who owned:

1. corvair
2. any big block v8 (late 60s vintage)
3. original Z car

....WIN this one for being visionaries in their time (not so easy in the present, but easy in retrospect). also very interesting to see that many people owned v8 muscle cars and seek refinement in their later buying careers.

and that people who owned 1960s-1970s british cars are supreme masochists.

Two out of 3 ain't too bad. ;) Never quite made it into "Z" land.

'08 BMW 528i current ride

[Fast Bob]

I`ve been following this thread for a long time, just been too busy (or lazy :-) to document a few my old rides....in no particular order, except for my first:

`58 Chevy Impala ragtop....348 cu. inch, 3 x 2-barrel carbs, 4-speed, full leather interior from a `58 Pontiac Bonneville

`55 Plymouth Belvidere 2-door....DeSoto Firedome Hemi, Torqueflite trans

`55 Chevy 210 2-dr. sedan...fully built 4-bolt main 350/450 HP, 4-speed Super T-10 trans, 12-bolt 4.88 Posi rear, straight front axle,fiberglass nose, doors, & trunk (FAST!)

`55 Chevy Sedan Delivery (think "station wagon with no windows in the back")....396/425 HP `65 Vette motor, Muncie 4-spd., 4.11 Posi

`65 Buick Riviera Grand Sport....425 cu. inches, 2 x 4-barel carbs, Turbo 400 auto trans, 3.55 Posi, full power & leather interior, black on black, a real gangster car.

`66 Pontiac Grand Prix....421 cu. inches, Super Duty 405 HP, 4-spd. manual, 8-lug finned-aluminum brake drums (yeah, DRUMS!), heavy-duty *everything*, a real runner.

`66 Chevy Corvair Corsa....164 cu. in., 4 carbs,rear-engine,horizontally-opposed , air-cooled 6-cyl.(like Porsche 911) independent 4-wheel suspension, 4-spd. manual, sport suspension....waaaay ahead of it`s time, prompted me to build:

`66 Corsa # 2....yanked out the flat-6, installed a mid-engine 327 cu. in., 350 HP small-block where the rear seat used to be....350 HP & 2775 lbs. ....can you say "FUN"? I pissed off SO many Porsche, Mustang, GTO, Chevelle, etc. owners with that thing.... :-)

`69 Cadillac Coupe De Ville....one of the last Great Ones before General Motors bit the big one in the `70s....

`70 Plymouth Fury III (ex-State Police cruiser)....440 Magnum, Torqueflite auto, 140-mph calibrated speedometer....(I got it *cheap* w/88,000 miles on it)

`76 BMW 530i (YAY!)....bought it used, head cracked from the evil Thermal Reactors (early attempt at pre-cat-era emission control) I wound up spending about 13 grand on the engine & suspension, the thing was wicked fast & handled like a snake. Drove it for the next 7 years without a hiccup....

`82 BMW 320i....stock, my wife`s first Bimmer

`84 Audi 5000 Turbo Quattro....nice car, fast, secure & comfortable (totaled by a 26,000 lb. truck, probably saved my life)

`86 Audi 5000 Turbo Quattro....just like Quattro # 1....drove it `til the trans went south at around 170K miles

`88 Saleen Mustang.... built & juiced 351/450 HP, my friend`s wife proclaimed it "terrifying".... :-)

`96 Audi A4 2.8 Quattro, 5-spd. ....nice, competent, well-finished, but no BMW....

`98 BMW 318 ti....stock, my wife`s car (still tight at 10 yrs. old)

`99 BMW 528i Sport Pkg. (aaah, now THAT`S more like it!) Probably the most perfect, satisfying car I`ve owned....to me, the perfect blend of style, luxury, & performance.

`04 BMW 330 Ci ZHP....a pretty damned good ride in it`s own right....
