[Watching The World Burn]

Never could afford an M, and now that I *could* I can't justify it. Car prices are crazy. I'll wait till the kids are out of the house and then maybe I can get a fun toy. Will have to get the wife's buy in of course though.

My list was from what I remember:

'99 Maxima (standard)
'08 BMW 335i (standard)
2012 Landrover LR2
2014 Jetta (crapbox - only for a year until lease was up)
2012 Chrysler 300 SRT8 (bought - fun car till a tree fell on it in 2019)
2017 Audi S6 twin turbo v8 - fun car
2022 Chev Silverado Trail Boss (will hopefully make this work for the next 4-5 years without major repairs)

[jmg]

None of them matter anymore...

jk

I loved a lot of my cars. Too many to list, but here are my favorites:

BMW E21 320i - Dog slow and already old when I got it, but my first car, and my first bimmer.

VW GTI MKII - Ahh the memories! My first of many manuals.

2000 Audi A4 1.8T Quattro - My first AWD vehicle, and the first one I bought by myself just out of college. It was used, but it was mine! (Previous cars were partially funded by my parents, of course!)

2009 Audi S4 25Quattro - The first "dream car" I was able to get. Limited edition, V8, manual.

2011 Honda Civic - I gave this car to my parents, bought and paid for as a thank you for supporting me my whole life, even after I irresponsibly killed the E21 doing burnouts, crashed the GTI in the rain, then blew up the transmission trying to shift without using the clutch, and hit a tree with my '95 Civic in a street race. It still runs to this day!

2013 F30 328i - My first time back in a BMW after many many cars and years later.

2016 BMW F30 340i - I only owned it for 3 months. Notable to be because of how it made me lust for an M3

2016 BMW F80 M3 - base model, but my first M car.

2019 BMW i3 REx - best commuter car I've ever had. That's right, THE BEST.

2018 BMW F80 M3 CS - "Dream car" attained #2. I never thought I would have the chance to get a CS, but I was lucky enough to find one.

2021 BMW G82 M4 Competition X-Drive - Back in AWD since owning several Audi's previously. In an M car no less with no AWD understeer!

[Reborn_]

Damn, I think I need to live a little. My wife and I combined (we are 40):

2017 MB GLS450 (hers)
1998 MB ML320 (hers)
2003 Acura RSX (mine)
2007 BMW Z4M Coupe (mine)

Still have all 4 cars. Along the way I owned 2 motorcycles but those are gone.

[NWH83]

I just bought my 2018 f80 comp after driving a modded cadillac ctsv for the past 8+ years. This is kind of my first BMW, but my wife has been daily driving her e36 for the past 25 years(!), so I've obviously driven that quite a lot.

[Aramis1919]

2013 Jaguar XFR with 5.0 supercharged V8

So good I replaced it with a 2015 Jaguar XFR with supercharged V8.

^^ maxima 02 6mt, I had one and was a blast back in the days. early 2000s probably one of the fastest and fun sedan on the market.

vias block, exhaust, intake spacer, drop ( to avoid wheel up), apexi air fuel controller and specV lsd transmission. It was fast and cheap.
