Here we go...
Back home 1993 Santana GLSi - It was an "evolution" of the VW Quantum sedan. My first car. I bought it in 94 when I was 20 (in Brazil, you're not allowed to drive before your 18th birthday - took me two years to buy my first car - had been saving since I was 15! ). It kinda' looked like this: It doesn't sit that high though - crappy configurator. Plus, mine had 15' BBS wheels...  1996 Ford Ranger - This one I bought brand new after landing my first nice job. US 1997 Pontiac Grand Am - company car. 1995 325is - Needless to say why I bought this car... I bought it slightly used in 97. It had ~11K miles on the clock if I remember right.1998 C5 Coupe - Vettes had always been my dream cars (Ok, one of them ).1998 A4 - dumped the E36 in favor of this car. 2000 323Ci 2001 C5 Coupe 2001 325i 2002 M3 Come to think of it, it's the first time since 97 that I have only one car...  Hmmm...

Okay here goes:
1991 Jeep Wrangler Sahara (Used) 1994 Jeep Wrangler Sahara (New, but very problematic) 1995 Acura Integra GSR (New, got hit, repaired and traded) 1996 Acura Integra GSR (New) This started when I was 16 with my first Jeep. All four of the above vehicles I had between 16 and 19 Years of Age. But, the 1996 Acura I kept until May of 2002, when, I finally got what I always wanted: My Jet Black 325i. What an awesome upgrade. I had that Integra for 06 Years. You have no idea the number of times I wanted to trade for something less than the Bimmer. I kept thinking, get a Jetta or another Acura. I just kept waiting and waiting. Finally, the time was right for The Ultimate Driving Machine!!!

Actually, I can cook a few things but I can't eat it...Wait a sec. I think there's a Brazilian BBQ restaurant in Houston... Fogo de Chăo. I'm not sure if it's Houston or Dallas or both. I did see something on a NorthWest Airlines mag some time ago... If I'm not wrong, there's one in Atlanta too... My favorite is in NYC though: Plataforma.
